I now have USD 14,000 in my account. I asked about blocking the deposit from current funds. I heard that they cannot use my funds in the account. I can't withdraw anything now. Is there any way to get back the money paid? Is it better to reconcile and let go?
You don't "have" anything in your account. That's just a fake balance on their database. Contact your bank. Explain the situation and see if they can help you reverse the deposit or place a hold on the funds. Report bitmartst(.)com as a scam and cut your losses. Trying to recover funds through these fake agencies will likely just lead to more money lost. Instead, focus on legitimate channels for reporting the scam to relevant authorities.
Is it better to leave it alone with pseudo agencies on Telegram who are able to recover funds? When I was looking for information about m.bitmartst, I found posts where people swam and someone helped them. But this is even more suspicious to me than the whole site😅
Don't trust anything that comes from random people on Telegram, even when it's from someone you trust, you should check it with multiple sources. These "agencies" offering help are likely preying on your desperation. It's just another form of scam.
when I found the website - I'm ashamed to admit it, but it was recommended to me by a person I had never seen... only when problems appeared did I start to analyze it calmly and began to suspect fraud.
That's how they operate. These scammers often target people through seemingly trustworthy recommendations, preying on the fact that you might let your guard down a bit. They use fake profiles or even hijack the accounts of people to appear more legitimate. Don't feel ashamed - it happens to many. What matters now is to learn from experience so that you don't repeat the same mistake.
