btc scam

[noorman0]

i heard there are few hackers who could recovery btc
if some one get idea pls help to recover the lost btc which is hard earned savings for years
hope u understand the context here

It must be another scammer offering help. I understand your sadness, but as I said before: only law enforcement can help you. To begin with, just go to your local police station and raise your problems (or refer to this thread).

The only way to recover your btc is to find the culprit and then force him to return the btc. In the history of bitcoin (afaik), there has never been a hacker who has been able to crack or guess a bitcoin private key technically without supporting clues because not only hacking knowledge is required, but also device resources (currently inadequate).

edit:

I was holding bitcoin worth 5650 USD which has funds recently recovered from Datrek services firm in March 2021

Understand that StorageX Wallet is their own platform (Datrek service) and actually they don't recover anything. They just write $5650 in your account which doesn't represent real BTC, it's easy to do.

By the way, where exactly did you lose $5650 before being "recovered" by the Datrek service? This confuses me even more

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
so i paid 650 USD which is 13 % of 5000 USD with the help of Datrek services on April 12 2021
when i login to Storage X wallet where i was holding 5650 USD on april 13 my balance shows 0 USD

Storage x wallet? Is this a new kind of wallet? Because, I never heard of this before. This is why I do not like to deposit big funds on the wallets that are new because they can be risky. You could have done a research first before you deposit or you can test the wallet by depositing small funds only.

There are lots of wallets out there that are legit. Cannot understand why so many people complain of getting scammed when it was their fault anyway. Another thing is that btc is banned in India right? You will be in great trouble if you let authorities in your country know this issue. Do not attempt it but you can just seek help online or in the forum. You need to check their trust page first if they are legit.

For some people a few hundred dollars are equal to  ,,multi thousands''  and I think its worth to contact your country's official bodies. As I get the information(which may not 100% true) there are no  official bodies to complain against crypto scams but you may try to contact police. Another solution may be to contact the exchange  and report the feud actions against you.

The amount someone is scam with matters, if it is just small amount of money, investigating who the scammer is may not worth it because the victim will pay money for investigation which is in thousand dollars, so if the amount is low, the person should just overlook it for not to lose more money which does not worth it at all. But if the amount is huge, it can be reported, like to his lawyer that know the next appropriate step to take.

So you used this service datrekrecoverycompany.com to recover lost btc or you lost btc after they recovered them?

so i paid 650 USD which is 13 % of 5000 USD with the help of Datrek services on April 12 2021

Can you explain how you made the payment? Have you been in contact with a member of the team staff?

Another important question, in which cuntry you live or can you say about crypto regulations in your country? This is important to determine who you can turn to to help you solve your problem, get your money back perhaps, and the most important thing is to hold the person who did this act accountable if he was a known party.

What are the factors that cause your bitcoins to be lost, forget how to access them, get hacked, or other factors. What I regret is that bitcoin uses a cryptographic system and is decentralized, so there is no legal entity or party controlling it. It's very difficult if we want to contact the authorities, I hope that your bitcoins come back soon.

Based on the @OP story it seems he got scammed by using a recoverable company, it's just a gimmick the recovery company said the funds can be retrieved but then the sites/account got hacked.

If you regret using/hold/buy Bitcoin due to decentralized nature, Bitcoin isn't for you. Decentralized nature is a one of some purpose why it's created, as you can see there are so many centralized stuff around us e.g. bank, fiat money etc.

Storage x wallet? I can't find anything like that. Do you mean storx? That's an altcoin.
Can you give us a link to that wallet? Is it an online custodial wallet, or something you've installed on your phone?

Did you have positive balance there? For how long? Did you withdraw anything? Maybe the whole wallet is a scam and it only showed positive balance as a shell, without the ability to withdraw anything?
Do you have any transaction history? Addresses and screenshots might help us to at least say if you ever had the coins.

That request that they need 13% of lost coins looks bad from the start because if a company was getting my coins back I'd tell them to take a fee from whatever they manage to recover. I wouldn't send them % of what I lost not knowing if they will be able to get the whole amount.

I think not because if someone scammed ,so only law enforcement can help you and that depends on how much they do something your case.
