Hello buddies,

It would be sad story if our bitcoin get scammed.  Cry

But it does happen from time to times, as we are all human beings, we are kind of greedy, we all want more bitcoins, and we all want the bitcoin in our wallet growing and growing ...

Then, we may get scammed by some online games, get scammed by gambling, get scammed by some investment programs, get scammed by ponzi schemes...etc., we send them our bitcoin base on their promising promises, but after the payment we'll never get their delivery as return ...  and we may even get scammed by our best friends as well ...

I've been scammed by a ponzi program called Rockwell Partner, I was scammed 5.5 BTC there.
I could do nothing expect shouting everywhere it was a scammer.

What did you do to fight against the scammers when your bitcoin was scammed?

just put up with it

A lot of people complaining. the problem is people giving their money to some random person they do not know.

That is true, last week I was looking to sell one of my senior member account, and the buyer asked me not to involve any escrow as escrow have their own charges

Every newbie checking around should have noticed that there are actually free escrows. They don't demand a reward, only allow tips being given. So there is no reason to be caught by this scammer argument anymore. Maybe it was different with escrows in the early years of bitcoin.

That was a good decision, never do that unless you don't know him personally, but involving escrow is the best thing to do, as there are many scammers moving around to steal your bitcoins and in your case if you would have provided him username and password he would have simply changed the password and disappeared and once the password is changed you cannot do anything.

This is very unfortunate to hear. Hopefully you have some recourse in the matter and have a way of getting something back out of the deal. Good advice is to avoid ponzi schemes, obviously though, that goes without saying.

I got scammed by bter and probably from a couple of dice site (likewise probability of an event 1:1.000.000.000) with few rolls....

What you can do ?
Firstly "disrupt" their business, with a thread like this, secondly try to call authorities, like police etc...
Then, you can wait but is really difficult get btc back, due it's nature you can't fight a good scammer, don't trust investment site , if an opportunity is good, yes it's smell of fake/scam.


Does it make sense to call the police in this case?
yes i think. by making the police enjoying their time and job by laughing at us. Grin

Hello buddy,

Sucks to be you.  My bitcoin was never scammed because I'm not stupid enough to engage in Ponzi schemes, nor do I gamble.  If you got scammed by your best friend, well, you need to evaluate your concept of friendship.

you ought to be thinking ripe for play or other investments that indicates scammed,
if you've already fooled you can do is just give up because it is almost impossible in cases like this will help the police find and arrest the perpetrators

I would tell them that it's a bad idea to get other's bitcoin by scamming, then I would make a thread in bitcoin forums to warn people about the scammer so people will not be scammed
