It depends on the amount, if you are scammed just few hundreds of dollars, the money you will need for investigating the fraud will be much more higher, the second is that it is still possible the scammers knows how to be anonymous enough, this can make the investigation not to worth it but making you to lose more money. But if multi thousand or million dollars is stolen, you can begin reporting it to chainanalysis to help you.

Hi mate..
How come btc scam and what do you mean?
Did you bought btc on exchanger or somewhere else?

If you bought on exchnager, just contact the customer support. They will help you.

my wallet is hacked and btc are stolen from my wallet
i lost all my funds due to this hacking
i asked my exchange and no response from it

If you've lost a huge amount of money, go contact law enforcement. If you don't know how to process this then simply just go to them directly and ask them.

On the other hand if you've only lost a small amount that it wouldn't be worth it to be paying for lawyers and such, then forget it. Learn from your lesson and try your best to not get scammed/hacked again.

I'm agreed with you sir.
My friend has been facing problem with one of big exchanger. He transfer his money with different chain. It is around 8000$. The exchanger asking for the fee and they will give an update. But until now there is no news. It has been 5 moths passed

Chainanalysis is an organisation that can help to track the scammers, but there is possibility that the scammer is anonymous to the extent he may not be found. They might even educate you on how you can do little tracking yourself but I am not that sure about this.

Hacker probably use mixers which make this job very complex to solve.

Mate, why are you using that wallet in the first place? I've been active in the bitcoin/cryptocurrency space for 5 years now and I've never heard of this wallet.

This-should-be-very-obvious-tip: always use reputable wallet software. The same reason why you probably wouldn't store your money on some bank that no one has ever heard of.

This one https://www.storagex.net/ (https://storagexoffshorewallet.blogspot.com/) ? The claim they protected millions of dollars for thousands of clients sounds shady af and you could be right that the custodial wallet provider are also the people behind the theft. It's supposed to be registered in England but I don't know how filing a case against companies in another country works (contact a lawyer).

edit: Never mind about filing a case because the scammer most likely has no real connection to that company.

You should elaborate the details here before we give you an exact thing to do , because you are claiming to be scammed but not even mentioned how it happens .

and also as India has no clear stand about Bitcoin then maybe you will be facing another problem here.

so Have been hacked ? then this is a really big problem because surely you will prove it hardly to know who scammed you and how this happened .

Uh.. misquoted?

@Mk4 is right, some people just use any wallet they come across to store their assets, maybe they are not aware of using wallets with good reviews from users and something other people are familiar with, it will go to some extent to minimize loss because you are able to read the experience of other users.
It doesn't sound like the customer service of this wallet provider is active otherwise 6 months and still no good reply. Too bad.

If this is the wallet in question, then it is clearly a scam. I have tried registering 2 accounts with random credentials without email confirmation (as usual). And this wallet only generates one BTC deposit address in each account.

Of course they won't hear you anymore because they got your money, only law enforcement can help you and that depends on how much they care about your case.

i agree. And infact even you make research about that Storage X wallet there's no information that can be found in the internet..  

So it's a big question to be honest how OP ended up to that wallet at the first place and what comes to his mind to store that kind of amount of money "600usd" for such type of wallet..

Yeah, but I will say would it be enough to search on how to get back your funds?
maybe you should put in consideration to know if the fund will cover all expenses to track the wallet that stole your BTC and with the value being mentioned in dollar is only 0.15BTC with the current market price. I will tell you to hold and monitor if the funds has been moved to an exchange  account then write to their support with the wallet that stole your funds to lock frozen the the user account.

A hacker unable to find right person to recover the funds? I don't understand, maybe you mean there's a hacker who can recover Bitcoin but you unable to find the right hacker it is? Don't get me wrong, a real hacker wouldn't reveal his identity and don't overestimate a hacker can do anything like retrieve the lost funds. Private key have 12 or 24 different words combined, brute force doesn't help since it's took really really long time consuming.

I don't know how much it is, but if it's really bigger then contact your law enforcement on your local country.

I was holding bitcoin worth 5650 USD which has funds recently recovered from Datrek services firm in March 2021
they said they need to mine the recovered funds with 13% of the funds recovered from the Scammers

when i login to Storage X wallet where i was holding 5650 USD on april 13 my balance shows 0 USD
