Thats why i split my coins on different wallets in case

And what wallets is that?
you can use different online wallets like coinbase, blockchain and ofc Bitcoin Client etc..

If there is a malware in your pc, your bitcoin on your Coinbase, blockchain.info, Bitcoin Core wallet could all be gone.
So it is better to store bitcoin in an offline wallet.

You can track it at http://www.blockchain.info but reclaiming them may not be an easy task...



If ever I lose a certain amount of Bitcoin (large or small), how can I  track it down or claim it back? Who should I contact?

I just lost 0.1 of a bitcoin wallet blockchain and it can not go back because there is no contact to report  Cry

Yup, bitcoin is decentralized and so no one can stop a tx from going through or revert a confirmed tx. And that is exactly the biggest selling point for bitcoin.

Maybe you can post screenshot about what happened to warn everyone about who the scammer is.

If you are a realist, any bitcoins online on a networked computer can be stolen/lost. The safest bitcoins are offline paper wallets in a safe that's cemented into the ground with an honest 24 hour guard  Cheesy

you can't do anything
bcoz someone who stolen them should already know how to be Anonymous , and use them


and that is why bitcoin will hardly ever become mainstream.
the same thing that bitcoin takes most pride in, is its biggest weakness.
shame..

Transactions are irreversible. And if you lose your private keys, no way to get your coins.

Only way would be find the private key of the coins or make the other part send them back

Or you can try to generate the same private key, but probably it will take more than trillions of years.

Is there a place where we can complain or just ask some help? Just to guide us?

You should make a post in the scam accusation section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 to warn the others and possibly discuss with other victims, but there is no way you can revert the confirmed bitcoin transactions.

Everyone is responsible of his loses/wins, thats the beauty of Bitcoin. No other monetary system allows for this.

There is absolutely no such thing. No bitcoin dot com, no authority whatsoever. Of course if you come here and complain you may get some sympathy. We all worry about criminality and accidentally sending to the wrong address.
It may seem harsh to have to do your own security. But the fact that no one can really do anything about your transactions IS part of the security.

I don't think you understand what decentralized means...   Undecided

You contact the CEO or Bitcoin Mark Karpeles.

Joking aside BTC requires the user to have a little computer knowledge about how to secure your coins.  Until a relatively foolproof and cheap device is made to secure coins the due diligence is on the part of the coin owner.
