Aigoo you are very trusting. One good lesson bad experience should teach you what not to do. Kyc will not help your unfortunate situation, you will only put your identity at risk and risk going to jail for a crime you didn't commit. Giving them your personal information is a bad idea no one can tell what they might use your kyc data for. Perhaps a missing piece in another scam operation. You forsook $4500 and "earned" $480 right? You did your research after, disvovered some inconsistencies and you want a refund of $5000. Where is the $500 coming from?

Damn, just handing over 4.5K to a complete stranger like it's tree fiddy.

I doubt anything could be done since the funds have already changed hands but please treat this as a valuable lesson to not trust any Tom, Dick and Harry offering services on the Internet.

Just forget your 4500 usd because you are being scammed.. Verifying your identity on the site is another scam by them to you. Since you learnt this lesson, always have this in mind.

a guy told me he is living in Los Angeles, tried to attract me to register on a website https://bitchemdtc.com, then I transferred $4500 there, he helped me to do the short trading, and earned $480, but I suspected him after he seemed convincing me to buy $100k or my 401k fund. One friend told me those scammers do the same thing, so I checked his website from https://whois.domaintools.com, and found out the website was registered on the day he asked me to transfer money and the website is in Hong Kong, very suspecious. I am guessing I am scammed because the guy does not reply my message basically unless I said I want to buy a huge amount of BTC.

I am not sure if I can get my $5000 out because it asks me to verify my identity, not sure if I should do it because I will disclose my ID to the fake website
You have been scam and you need to try your possible best to get back your money if that's possible but I think you can still try to convince the trader to send you part of the money if you are smart enough . Get refund from scammers is not as possible as we can think but there is still possibility of making a trial before giving up.

I don't know if you are a newbie to cryptocurrency trading cause I'm still thinking what triggered you to send your money to an unknown person to trade for you when you have no prior knowledge about the person and the site. Many sites this days are scam pretending to be trading site that allows traders to trade and make earnings. We need to be careful when getting searching online for what we really want intend looking for.

Well, lesson learned, you should always use domain tools before sending Bitcoin or money to a random exchange, now, you should not give them any personal information. Good luck

One to remember, never believe in that kind of service. It is better to do your own trading.
there are many types of scammers doing scams through trading services, investment, and also other programs with high returns and also profits.
And moreover, you don't know them in the real world. Better to avoid this kind of service.

How many times do we have to tell you guys that do your own research first. Does because you have an extra money you would just carelessly give your money to someone that you just met online. Its just so easy to put trust on someone you haven't met yet and why is that?

It's too late now for you to recover those money, I'm so sorry for your loss. If only you did some research first you wouldn't be a victim of these scammers. This will always serves as a lesson to someone out there who would just trust any stranger especially in online.

Why did you deposit such amount in a quick glance? you didn't do any research when he asked and the exchange seemed to be not even popular at all.

But sorry with that misfortune, you've got to learn the lesson. You've guessed it right, it's a scam.
Most of the scammers bank on the victim's level of greed. The more greedy the victim, the easier it is to convince them and get them sending money to the scam exchange in a glance without any prior research. All it takes is to tell them that they will earn Y % of what they have invested daily or weekly and double their money in a matter of weeks.
That's right.

They've been blinded with the return that has been projected but that's totally a false projection and the victim is likely to do everything in his capacity to get that false hope of return without thinking and stopping for a while.

Whether you can get your $ 5,000 back depends on your bank. I recommend that you contact them for help.
In the case of a cryptocurrency payment, there is no way for you to get your money back unless the scammers decide to return voluntarily, which is unlikely. An important lesson learned, albeit expensive.
The most important thing is to ensure you do not send any more money to scammers, or any details about yourself, no matter what they ask for. As part of their strategy, they try to extract as much money as possible from each victim, including personal data that they will almost certainly sell on the black market.

Alluring offers that are scam, before you will also trade on any trading site you need to make research, even you can just go for a reputable sites for the trading instead of uncommon sites that are created not long and are scam. Do not believe on online friends, even if a friend tell you something, make your own research. If you want to trade, learn it yourself and be very careful because trading can result to more losses, the world is now full of scam.

Sorry for the loss, I don't know how you end up meeting this guy, and how he convinced you, but always had in mind when it's too good to be true, it's always it is.

Pretty sure this is like one of those spam comments claiming to 8x your money in X days. I see those almost in every social media platform. Sometimes how it works is that someone comments in a random post, let's say in an FB post. They would thank or even vouch this person that made them a lot of cash through trading and when you look at that certain person, their biography is everything you can imagine claiming to be an expert of everything.
Forex trader? Check. Crypto trader? Check. I never really interacted with any of those individuals as it is obviously a scam.

At least this is how I think that OP met that scammer.

A simple google of the name of the site will give you lots of result just in a second and you will probably turned down the offer if you did. Anyways, serve this as a lesson staying in this space.

Sorry buddy you have been scammed, your bank will not be able to hand your money back. My cousin was talking to this man online for months he asked her for money to assist him to win a big contract. She sent $6000 from her account willingly anf another $4000. They were getting married when he comes onshore from his job. Weeks became months and so on. She went to  the bank to find out what they could do, they gave the talk for hours. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? No refunds. There are many cases in scam accusations

How do you guys wake up and just make a transfer to someone who you don't know, someone you have never seen, not just a hundred dollars but 4k for that matter Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
You even know how to conduct research on a website and you still manage to send him such cash. I'm afraid to say you have been duped, your money is gone and the chances of locating a crook Chinese guy will be low except you live in the same location.
A friendly piece of advice, next time buy bitcoin and sleep, all this shady investment wouldn't attract you when you hold bitcoin.

Yet again, another of those scam sites that belongs to a family of sites with a near-to exact layout, messages, and apparent appeal:
Code:
https[colon]//zbgcenter[dot]com
https[colon]//etradeb2c[dot]com
https[colon]//lbankbroker[dot]com
https[colon]//fxccbroker[dot]com
https[colon]//etsuhdt[dot]com
I’m more prone to thinking that these sites come from a layout that people purchase and host (may already be hosted), and that different people lure their "customers" to their site, than all of them belonging to the same person or group of associates.

Regardless, the same modus "scamandi" as usual: Lure (social media, calls, etc.), invest in an amazing opportunity, ask for more, reiterate, disappear (with the funds) …

You're probably referring to a random guy you just met online. If you are, this is an old tale. Unfortunately, this keeps repeating on and on and on.

Anyway, on to the lessons one could get from this:

1. When it comes to investment or trading or any offer for a profit coming from a random person online, dismiss all of them immediately. Label them as scam if you wish. It is better to err on the side of safety.

2. Don't trust and don't verify either. But if you wish to verify, for goodness' sake, do it before you even make a deposit. If you wish to raise this up in a forum like this one, do it before you waste money. Always resolve your doubts and suspicions first before you commit.

3. Profit is hard to make. Don't expect it to just be given away by anybody.

4. A scammer is a scammer. If you have already been scammed once, don't let him do it again. There will be offers to follow like OP's $100k fund or a KYC for withdrawal. Don't commit the same mistake.

I am not sure if I can get my $5000 out because it asks me to verify my identity, not sure if I should do it because I will disclose my ID to the fake website

This has happened several times, why do you trust the new exchange so much? This is too rash, you should think again and again, the $ 5000 fund is very large. Even though your account looks new here you may be an old and experienced trader. I tried to find it on google and it turned out that he was included in the list of scamm websites.
I think you should try to get your funds back, but if you see this is a Scamm website I think it's impossible.
