5000$ REWARD FOR FINDING OWNER OF BTC ADRESS

[Avirunes]

Normally finding a scammer out of new wallets are slim to none like Mocanino said already here but this case is a bit different. I am very much sure where you will be able to get good information if you do things right.

<…> I had no idea that after one confirmation he was able to cancel this transaction.
I could already view on my wallet that I had this funds available so I lost attention.

It wasn’t confirmed. You probably saw a pending to confirm TX, and asumed it was confirmed.

It looks like he generated a TX for 3,79 BTC, sent from 1E3WStENAFUHj8rPpX6FTpS4KwHKZVFK3m to bc1q63nu0dh3ak6saku7xfdts55g6q6jsg9vwzlvl9, on 2021-07-19 18:29, using a fee of 1.005 sat/B:

But then used a Replace by Fee to resend the same amount, on 2021-07-19 18:36
,to 16ZbnaPXxwVkWsHeAxcRtnCBccr35tuWAc instead, paying 201.047 sat/B to ensure it was picked-up quick, thus nullifying the first TX:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/034a8f4f6b88575ef28b314c8c42dfef63cee43d3a002c86f82953005045735d

I am gonna use this post of DdmrDdmr to continue. The bitcoin address used here 1E3WStENAFUHj8rPpX6FTpS4KwHKZVFK3m receives around 3.8 BTC via txid: https://btc.com/btc/transaction/7205197883218a6615ee6c014781b5a483893b77287423bfa99f5c78279bcf9a  from just before transferring to victim here which uses inputs from address 1NDyJtNTjmwk5xPNhjgAMu4HDHigtobu1s . After the scammer sends and then nullifies the transaction by doing the rbf he sends back the amount to 16ZbnaPXxwVkWsHeAxcRtnCBccr35tuWAc. Now 16ZbnaPXxwVkWsHeAxcRtnCBccr35tuWAc sends back the amount to 129UStX6iT1TCiFhtar2XEuT73ZBbGjCyG which sends back the amount to 1NDyJtNTjmwk5xPNhjgAMu4HDHigtobu1s via this txid: https://btc.com/btc/transaction/c66c74de8c4a130b41d1339d1247dbbae4876bf855e79e25c1c7b13d8973cba1.

The address I have underlined here : 1NDyJtNTjmwk5xPNhjgAMu4HDHigtobu1s is the hot wallet of Binance (Proof: https://twitter.com/binance/status/961666467325358081) and here is what I think. The scammer made a withdrawal from his account at binance to 1E3WStENAFUHj8rPpX6FTpS4KwHKZVFK3m prior to transaction. He made the scam and then sent it back to Binance where he desposited to his deposit address: 129UStX6iT1TCiFhtar2XEuT73ZBbGjCyG.

Now I went through their blog about their KYC (https://www.binance.com/en/blog/421499824684902130/%E2%80%8BWhat-is-KYC-and-How-Is-it-Increasingly-Important-for-Crypto) and it seems like there is a level of account where they don't need KYC but in that case they have the limit that they will allow daily withdrawal of 0.06 BTC max but since the scammer makes a withdrawal to 1E3WStENAFUHj8rPpX6FTpS4KwHKZVFK3m with amount of 3.8 BTC , he had to submit his details at the exchange in order to push the level for big trades or make withdrawals.

Now all you need to do is to contact Binance and provide them with the transactions that made withdrawal to 1E3WStENAFUHj8rPpX6FTpS4KwHKZVFK3m which is https://btc.com/btc/transaction/7205197883218a6615ee6c014781b5a483893b77287423bfa99f5c78279bcf9a and transaction that was made to deposit back to 129UStX6iT1TCiFhtar2XEuT73ZBbGjCyG which is https://btc.com/btc/transaction/c66c74de8c4a130b41d1339d1247dbbae4876bf855e79e25c1c7b13d8973cba1 and ask them how to take steps in order to catch the scammer. I am sure Binance would be happy to help you out. I don't recall very clearly but I think in a case earlier they tried to help someone like this who was victim to a scam.

I think Avirunes is right but as far as I know just being email verified at Binance you can withdraw 2 BTC daily,at least this was until a very few days ago when I made my last withdrawal there.The scammer was stupid enough(which is very good for you) to deposit to a KYC exchange and you should contact them but if he is not KYC verified(only email verified) there is not much you can do as mocacinno said.Still this remain your only options to have a chance at getting some info about the scammer,not much else you can do.

[Erdogan]

I am not sure if I understand correctly route of transfers described by Avirunes (I didn't check it), but I confirm that the daily limit on Binance is 2 BTC.
If he made a withdrawal in one transfer of 3.8 BTC (just more than 2 BTC) then he HAD to pass the KYC verification.

As Avirunes wrote, now you should contact Binance and ask how you can get his data.
Good luck!

Hello again guys.

I wanted to ask you for help with reporting this case to binance.

Do you know how to make this kind of report or maybe you know someone who could help me preparing this case?

I tried to do this through their website but it is difficult because of regulations.

Any help would be precious.

Reward is still on !!!

Go here: https://www.binance.com/en/chat then select Security issues and you will find 4 options. "Stolen/Cheated funds be transfered into Binance" this one seems to be your case out of the list. Since I am not the victim and you are, you have to report that yourself. They will help you out with what they need in order to help you catch the scammer.

[Josefjix]

Please update the thread with every development you have. We are keen to learn and ready to take such actions of such things happen to us.

[Murat]

Again, I think you're ignoring the biggest part. How did you pay him? In cash or other payment info?

[Text]

OP may have hoped that the scammed large amount of money would be returned to him due to @Avirunes' review of the transactions.  There is a high possibility that the scammer underwent KYC in Binance especially if he uses P2P trading on the said exchange site.  But you have to prove that you have been scammed by a user who uses their platform because we all know that companies don’t just give their customer's pieces of information to another user who asks for it.  But I hope Binance will pay attention to what you do when you contact them because you said that your convo of scammer in Telegram has been deleted and the evidence is gone.

[zanezane]

I don't know if you have like some kind of FBI enforcement agency in your country that deals with cyber crimes but you should probably go to those people because they have the equipments to track down people in this case it's bitcoin meaning that there's a public ledger that they canuse to slowly track down the scammer.

Nah he had to go through KYC I am very sure. Scammer has been dealing with him in over 30000$ mark in each transactions given in the main post and all of the address received funds from Binance hot wallet.

I am providing you with addresses he used for transactions.

bc1qrldtc9l5wn3dfma9gm3prw6hglwzenamfxjxdx
1E3WStENAFUHj8rPpX6FTpS4KwHKZVFK3m

Normally 50,000 $ is the daily withdrawal limit of Intermediate account at Binance but the transaction in which he scammed was 150,000$ and crossed the intermediate limit so it is confirmed that he has advanced account.

According to Binance KYC blog following are the requirement for Advanced account KYC:

[1] Basic Information
[2] Government ID
[3] Facial verification
[4] Proof of Address (new requirement for Advanced accounts)

So these^^^ are the things that Binance have of the scammer.

Now all OP has to do seek help from Binance which I think he should do on his own since he was the victim. I am sure they are gonna ask for a police report or some sort of cyber crime report since they are also not someone who can verify whether scam happened or not nor the victim since he is just claiming and things needs to be verified so I think this is gonna steer a bit different way I mean proceeding out of the forum.

That's the best I could do to provide information about where funds used to come to and went. Now its upto you OP to help yourself out.


Just in one of the accusation the victim contacted Binance and here is what he replied

Sorry all Forum members for Here to make noise. I did not have the mentality to scam. But Coz the NEWINU team harassed me and treated me badly, I was forced to do it. I have paid more or less for many projects properly to the bounty hunters. Example - AMEPAY, NFD Signature, Rabbit Finance ETC.and  some of the projects during management have been scammed. I had nothing to do here . This usually happens with all managers. I am leaving this forum for whole life.  i am holding NFD token. as promise with NFD Team, i will distribute it when token will be listed. And i will discuss with Bake Bunny Team for distribute bounty token. Bye bye bitcointalk

kid, enjoy your quick life. Spend the 25k very quickly.

Thanks for everyone time post etc. We already got an answer from Binance. They will update us in the next 72h.

2nd Binance will handle the police report if I got it right. I will update my thread in due time.

So they are also helping the victim with police report. I don't think you will find someone that supportive. Usually exchanges just get lazy and don't help but Binance are helping the victim. [+1] to Binance . Just contact Binance. They will be happy to help you.

I just learnt something today, does replacing a transaction by fee to a new address actually possible?
One has to be really careful when dealing from outsiders.

This can be done if the transaction you make is still 0conf or has not been confirmed in the block, and this is called a double-spending transaction by activating the RBF feature. Usually the scammer will use a very cheap fee to commit his crime and will use a double spending scheme to send bitcoin to his own address at a much higher fee. This case is also known as a DS-0-Conf attack.

Hello.

Nothing changed since that day so I am providing you with personal number of this guy.

Now since rate of BTC has increased reward of finding this person is 15.000$

His number is: +447572897282

As I mentioned before - he stole from me 3,79 Btc on 19th of July.
Police is not willing to help me so I am looking for someone to help me on internet.

Please let me know if you would be able to locate this person. I know that funds were transferred on KYC verified account on Binance and those bitcoins are still remaining on his account.

In case if someone would like to contact me directly let me know I will provide my contact info.

Best regards.

[Danydee]

Police is not willing to help me so I am looking for someone to help me on internet.

Why ?
Did you tried your luck with them ?
Now almost all polices have a "CYBER" service, they even intervene in "facebook" conflicts/stories !
All you have to do is going make complaint and provide them with all the details, all the story!

Expect if the Bitcoin is restricted where you are !  

Now since rate of BTC has increased reward of finding this person is 15.000$

How this?
Do you paying in BTC or USD ??

If someone will be able to find his personal info- email, phone number, home address etc. Somehow be able to help me find this person I will send you 5000$ for reliable information.

[dubst4r]

Best...

[Lucius]

Do you have some person who is able to find person just with its btc address ?

@Avirunes has worked out a whole strategy for you to follow, and that includes a report to the police, with which you then report the whole case to Binance, because with his investigation he came to the conclusion that the person who scam you has an account there. Please read all the posts with all the answers, especially the ones from @Avirunes, because I doubt you will get a better answer or help from someone else.

[Oskarb123]

Regarding your answer.

I tried to do everything accordingly to what other user told me to.

Unfortunately police did not help me with my issue so I am forced to wait for help from binance which they are trying to do right now by contacting regarding my case to this person . OR I can rely on external source of help which is why I wrote here my message.

So please if you would be able to do something that would help me find this person please contact me and if we will succeed I will reward you well.

[Pmalek]

You were asked this before but you never provided an answer. How did you pay this person who was selling you Bitcoin? You said that you two were located in different countries. That means face-to-face meetings can be ruled out. I hope you weren't sending him cash via a 3rd party courier or something like that. Did you use fiat in some form and how? Bank, payment processors such as PayPal, Skrill, gift cards, Western Union. Traditional financial institutions require KYC on their customers. Or was the seller maybe paid with other cryptocurrencies?

I found his number somewhere in the internet but I can't find it again now.

I saw that you posted a phone number in one of your latest posts. Is that the number you were initially looking for? If not and you still have the link to the website it was originally posted on, maybe there is a cached version of it in Google's cache or Achieve.org. Check here and look for it.
