Sorry for your bad experience and likely that was first deal with bitcoin. Bitcoin gained most popularity because its decentralized and not reversible. So sadly we are not able to help you return your funds. Dealing with bitcoin is bit risky if you don't know that who receiving it on the other end. Same as for website also, when you are going to buy something from website you should know how trustworthy that site. You have to search and review as much as possible. After sent it is not possible to do anything. So without trusted sites sending bitcoin means you are going to scam very soon. I think you already learn how to save yourself and obviously this is a good lesson for other users as well.

I firmly believe that thorough research is absolutely needed when buying with BTC as the transactions are irreversible and there is no option for refund. Having said that, I have never had issues when using BTC for online payments. You just need to be careful with determining how trustworthy a site is.

Hello:
I am new to cryptos and I must say that my first experience has been a bad one, I recently visited antminerusa.com and purchased some hardware, that was about 10 days ago, I paid using BTC, now the site is no longer available, its been down for 3 days maybe a bit more, this lead me to think this website is a scam.  Now what should I do to recover my BTC, if the purchase where made using a credit card, I would report it to my bank and they could void or cancel payment, but with BTC what should I do?, if there is nothing that I can do, then it is obvious that using cryptos is a scammers paradise because there is no protection to buyer (that I know), unless there is a way to introduce the complain in the chain in order to reverse payment.
This is the transaction id 30dc4f431ac3db1949b330ab8cd31d1bb019d4831e24cd7cd7f4215fca73073b if anyone could share some light I would appreciete it.

Sorry to hear your story my friend but, to be frank, your money is gone. It's too late there is nothing we can do about your money. I wish the site is online maybe we can report your case to the payment processor of the site (coinbase, bitpay, or coinpayments) maybe they can help out or prevent others from getting scammed too.

First and foremost, you should have first gained enough knowledge about the entire crypto space before trying to make transaction. In as much that Bitcoin presents you with financial freedom, transactions made of the bitcoin blockchain network are not reversible. Due to this nature of Bitcoin, there are a lot of phishing sites scamming newbies of their bitcoin. For this transaction, there is no way you can ever retrieved your bitcoin. Next time do a little research before you login into any websites to make bitcoin transaction..

Take note: when its come in bitcoin, we are anonymous, with transaction its difficult to transact and trust somebody for market.
I advice you to make more research regarding the process, have some thought, and use some legitimate source by taking look at the feedback
sadly there is no possible way to bring back your bitcoin, next time " think before you click" .

You can't reverse any transaction when it is done already, it is a must to check first the legitimacy of a certain website before you make your first purchase, check its review panel, search it everywhere, do your homework. Also you could see it on their website interface if they are legit or not, you just have to pay attention, don't rush things up especially when you are using crpytocurrencies as the payment method.

There is nothing you can do about your bitcoin anymore, you already sent it, the only thing that you could do is learn from it, and warn your friends about this site you have mentioned.

If you purchasing the product or and Items make sure the website is legit or the seller is really legit. We know asking and researching is free and it takes only mintues to get an answer. It is safe to use bitcoin for purchasing product online the only need that you have
To doubt is the seller and make sure next timenjust review anything so you can sure that your item will be recieved and this is lesson for everyone who wants to purchase Items online just always be check or review.
It's true that you first make sure that you are paying in a legitimate site because you are just wasting time and money if you will only get scammed by a fake site. Also, there is no any chance for you to retrieve or to cancel your payment because once you send your payment it will be successful.

We all know that bitcoins trasaction is ireversable neither refundable.So you cant retrieve what you have losed but all you can do is spread news about the site and services they offer so that if one user end up wanting to use the services he can search for that feedback of yours and be warned.

It is actually okay to use bitcoin as a mode of payment. The problem is, you transacted ona website without even reviewing it's legitimacy. You should have checked the URL when was it created, and if there are any negative feedbacks on the website before purchasing anything.

Sorry to say this you got scammed and you also can't void or cancel the payment once the transaction is confirmed. I'm amazed you are new on cryptos and yet you go directly buy a mining tools without checking first. Next time please check it first by googling the site like "antminerusa scam" you can easily spot it.

I don't think is safe to buy with bitcoin

What are your'e proof to said that is not safe, even nowadays lots of people still buying bitcoin, maybe its not safe to invest on some people or site that indeed fake, or scam.

i think there are people that prefer to buy using bitcoins and some do not prefer to buy with bitcoin the reason why is thier own experiences. for me i think i prefer not to buy with bitcoin because i prefer to use my local currency to buy and use the bitcoin for investing and other stuff

Well bitcoin is very volatile you cant say that you are not gonna buy bitcoin instead hold it and when the bitcoin rises up its where you buy, its a good investment a short term investment.

Safety and security in online world is overal problem, not just question related to Bitcoin. Therr is no absolute security and you can't fully rely on providers and services, you have to protect your data and your wallet on your own. You can't pull back Bitcoin transactions so.you always need to double check everything.

There are no any possible way you can recover your lost bitcoin wether if it is scammed or anything else.No way you can revise an transaction.If the admin decided to refund your funds then maybe you get something back but until then no.

Bitcoin transaction is irreversible so you need to be more careful in every transaction that you are going to make especially if you are buying something and
 your payment will be made through bitcoin.

You have lapses also as you didn't check first the credibility of the website or store before you made the payment. If you have no means in contacting the website support where you bought the products then there is nothing you can do about it.

There are no mistakes in product payment transactions with Bitcoin, many large companies from various countries have adopted payments using bitcoin. In this case, you are buying a product from scammer and unfortunately, the scammer has run off carrying your balance to buy a slice of pizza

It is safer to buy using bitcoin today since the volatility is low. People prefer using digital currency nowadays for more convenient means of buying goods and services online. It is a great invention having this kind of money for some overseas transactions and much faster than using mastercard or debit cards.
