Topic: if scam happened - updated with information - page 2. (Read 353 times)

Realistically all you could do are accept your loss, warn other people and move on. While theoretically you could hire lawyer, it's likely you'll lose even more money and time.

it is very difficult to conclude what you are talking about and what kind of accounts, but as far as I can see from your history, you are scammed on bitz-global.com
Best what you can do is to contact their domain registrar and explain everything. they probably have some of the owner's data but this information will be provided only at the request of the competent authorities

The answer can be both they can be traced or cannot be traced anymore. it depends on how good the team who gonna trace them and it depends on the scammers on how good they are hiding. Just like the recent Twitter account hacks, they posted some BTC addresses where you can double your BTC but that's all fake created by scammers. Though their BTC or ETH address is tranparent, they cannot be traced because they know how exactly to hide from the authorities and until now they still out there waiting for the right chance to fool some people again.

Prevention is better than cure. It is better to let your coin remain to you than sending it to scammers and trying to recover it. The reason many scammers scammed successfully is because no investigation after the unlawful act. I remembered when I googled about 'if someone send gift card to a scammer'. It is very possible the scammer made some mistakes and be traceable but the victim may require to pay appropriate governmental bodies for the scammer to be known, the amount of money which can later be more than the actual money he or she was scammed.

Avoid online recovery service, they will scam you also


If you do not know the right governmental organization to report to, your lawyer can help you.

About bitcoin and many other coins, it is very possible for you not to be able to trace the person. The person can know how to be anonymous in a way he is using noncustododial wallet and Tor appropriately and later sell the coin via direct p2p or making use of decentralized exchanges with Tor. He can know a lot about how to hide himself in a way it will really be difficult for him to be known.

But if the person make use of exchange address, it is very possible for you to trace the coin if the address has been active and used for deposit and withdrawal. You can try this site to know the exchange the address belong too if it actually an exchange address:

But even if you report such case to an exchange customers services, they will request for an appropriate governmental body in your country, you will ha e to get to the exchange through it not directly. That means you will need to seek the appropriate governmental body about this in your country to help you out. Know that this will require money, so this will be recommended if you are scammed high amount of money.

There is still other risks. Some scammers are smart enough, they have fake KYC, they receive payment in a way you can not trace them and the likes.

Is the scammer in the same country as you are to start with? If so, did the police try to reach out to the domain provider? They're probably the ones who can help the most by providing IP addresses used to log in to the server or their site.

then anything i can do? i already report to police but seems they cant do anything

If you ask vague question, you will get vague answer. So you need to be more specific.


It depends on,
1. What information the account left behind.
2. Effort you're willing to track the account.


If the scammer send Bitcoin directly from user deposit address to custodial exchange, it is possible.
