Hello everyone, recently one of my friends lost 3000usdt by buying items online
He wasn't careful enough and he has sent usdt upfront to online seller

Of course he got tricked and seller blocked him instsntly
He's from USA and seller is probably from Asia
What are legal actions he can make and are they in real situation helpful or not?
Thank you

As per your words it look like the transaction was done in usd and not in crypto currency. So you can ask help from the centralized platform on how to deal with such situations. Although i am surprised that you used an online platform and yet there is no escrow implemented to protect the both buyer and the seller. If you don't mind can you share the site which your friend used ?

Since you told me that the transaction was done through online platform. If you have done it using Paypal then you can easily claim the money back. I think you have to claim it within one-month time frame.

If it was done using an eCommerce website then you can ask the website to investigate, as you did not receive the product.

I think it happened through communication like Skype or so
Thank you for replys

I really doubt you're going to get anywhere as the scammer most likely just used some sort of online gamer nickname, or at least a fake name, rather than the scammer's real name. But yea, you can try contacting Skype about this because at this point, you have nothing else more to lose, and it's definitely at least worth trying.

EDIT: And probably try contacting Tether[1] itself. Remember, they have the power to freeze USDTs(a thread about this). Not sure how the process will go though, assuming they respond.

[/quote]The only thing you can do is what OmegaStarScream just suggested and you should report it to the platform that your friend and the seller use to have transaction. In that way, many people would know that this seller is to be avoided at all cost. Maybe the platform will restrict the seller's account (I hope so).

The transaction happened on an online (centralized) platform? If that's the case, you could start there by asking the platform to provide the necessary details (IP address, ID, etc.) about the seller (but even then, I doubt much can be done because of the distance).

What are legal actions he can make

It's better to just ask a real lawyer. You and your friend must have at least one relative or a friend.
Gather all the evidence that the lawyer may need like which platform.

and are they in real situation helpful or not?

I'm not following you here. Are you asking if the contract to sell is legally binding even if it was done online?
