Do you know of any resources to help victims of crypto scams recover their losses?

I was a victim of one made by coinkast.io where they had me pay more money to release my funds and then they kept adding additional fees... so basically I lost $100k+ and I need to recover it someone especially since much of that were loans I took out.

Any help or links to agencies that can help would be appreciated...

Thank you in advance

That really feels bad. Losing Cryptocurrency due to some scam and carelessness is some of the worst experience that can be experienced by users of the forum. Its also hard to report these kinds of issues since what we are chasing are people that are over the Internet and that can be hard since people can be around the World and not just the same country we are in.

This is the drawbacks of being pseudonymous, you get in a pseudonymous network get scammed by pseudonymous people. Self-teaching is the best counter move for this one, if you know what you are doing then you are less likely to be scammed. If you know who you are dealing with like reputable escrow service provider then you are less likely to be scammed. At the end of the day your security lies in you, to yourself, not with exchanges, not with your passwords or every thing, it is no your decision making.

I guess another way to look for those people is by tracking their IP addresses? Since one way or another there can be tracks left by them.

IP isn't reliable most of the time, do you think these hackers or scammers will use their IP that can be easily traced by the authorities?
The only way we can get them is when they leave a footprint or a hole where we can see them.

I think only the cyber crime commission in your country will help you to know who is that scammer that take away your money. $100k is really a huge amount and it's difficult to pay debt or loans. I hope you will recover your money even you have only a little hope to recover it and even it was not yet complete because I'm sure the scammer spent already some of your money.

This problem often occurs in the crypto world; Proportionately newbies here are more vulnerable to scammers for their ignorance. To my knowledge it is almost impossible to recover money from being the victim of a crypto scam. From here, things get trickier, and this is where the true learning begins! There will also be little benefit from legal action here; However you can try contacting coinkast.io customer service, they may be able to help you get your assets back.

Unfortunately, most cybersecurity professionals are scammers. It’s hard to admit, but it’s true that those people who help to protect themselves, they will then "make" you.

This is saddening to know. Scammers won't really stop unless they know that they will be caught.
Lack of experience could lead to such events and let us all observe extraordinary diligence.
You are lucky if you have some who's expertise is cyber security, and I think that is one of the steps for solution.

I feel a little what you feel, I pray for you. There is really only a small chance that your money will come back, you can try to trick "scam" them back with a little threat and if you can find out their location then that would be better. Cybercrime is difficult for individuals to handle, try asking for help from some people that you know who can help you for free, maybe a friend who is an expert in cybersecurity. I don't want to scold you because I can't come up with a solution for you

Actually yes ..
If cybercrime does not stand still and is developing rapidly, then the authorities that must fight it and prevent crimes are developing very slowly, if they do not stand still.

Mate, are you kidding here? How do you pay fees to release funds from an exchange? A legit exchange will never ask you to pay fees to release your funds from their website, rather they will look for ways to solve your problem, that’s if it’s within their reach to solve that problem, but as for a problem that they can’t solve they will let you know that they can’t solve, for example – sending money to a wrong address.

I don’t get how people tell you all to be paying fees to get your funds back and you keep giving extra money to them. I have seen another newbie talk about this before, though he didn’t fall for it. He invested $3k in a fake exchange and they asked for $1,500 to get his funds back, but he was smart enough to suspect that something is wrong.

It always hurt when see people get scam of his Cryptocurrency what ever coin he is using, this is one of the risk of decentralization you cannot charge back, transactions are based on trusts, but we need to educate ourselves and do not trust easily there are a lot of benefits of decentralization than become a slave of centralization, this is a learning experienced for OP and for us who are reading this.

Inexperience is what activates trust. Is not a good thing to be involved in scam on your coin, this is unfortunate. Most of us have experienced a thing as such because we were inexperienced. Lesson is to avoid what looks too good being true.

You cannot recover the money that you lost and there is no body able to help you and it is wrong to send more money to the fraudsters so you should forget about that money and start a new business and avoid the fraudsters because they will continue to exploit you and steal your money

This is the reason why scammers are full of nerves to continue to scam people endlessly because they are confident they cannot be traced or detected by the authorities and walk away and vanish like thin air. As always they will find again new ways to scam people all over again. To solve this, people should be more aware and be vigilant as a first defense form online scammers and by that ways of prevention, less people or no more victims will be in the future.

I felt it how to lose our money into someone that we think that can be trusted but somehow it is a person that also makes you suffered.
Ain't wonder why this drama will never have an end because many people are still living in scam ignorance and not even know how to learn from it. Because despite a lot of warnings that can be read anywhere but still they are still blinded to see the real possible situation.

There is no solution for this but just ourselves only. If we are able to understand how scamming works, it surely we can avoid it.

Holy cow $100,000 USD hurts a lot! I dont think my total earned money since birth even reached that. There is little chance to recover online scams since scammers should have started prepared. Unless you manage to trace the exact locations and get to identify the people behind the scam. The biggest amount I got scammed was about $1,000 USD from an exchange which I already forgot about.

It's really hard to turn back the money that has been stolen in this virtual world. When you are still having contact with that scammer then you better to block him or her, there are still some thoughts by scammers that they can still scam you so better not to entertain him anymore.
It's better to report the situation t the authority because they know the best thing to do with what happened to you.

After being scammed, you should now change your crypto wallet information, change your passwords, and impotent details. Make it a lesson for you, know how scammers approach a person so the next time it would happen again, you know what to do.

Thank you in advance

may i ask something?why does the amount need to hit 100k before you realized that it was a scam?
you are claiming about your funds and the site is asking you continuously to add more amount?
thats foolishness mate sorry for the word but that is is it.

If you are looking for the right agency?i believe that it is the cyber crime commission of your government to seek for your problem and claim.

The best approach you could have done is to report to the right authority,to confirm if they are scammer or not before sending money.

Little to no chance that your money will get back.
I feel sorry for your lost. That money isn't a joke. $100,000 is a huge money seriously especially for me Cheesy

.

What's worse is some of it are loans that you need to do just to get the money in that site but it turned out to be a scam site. Don't expect too much since it is very hard to track scams like this but maybe somebody can help you in any way possible.

Sorry, the only method to get this money back - go to the police and hope that somedays they will found scammers. In other words, your funds are lost permamently

Start by sharing your experience about the company, with aim of warning others of the scam. This would give them a bad press. Share this on different platforms. You don't have to go in to details. Soon, your posts will be showing up on Google showing that the company is in the business of scamming people. Let them know that you've started the campaign (nobody likes a bad press)! Next report to the police as that is fraud. Then write them a letter before court action, giving them 14 days to reply. Make sure you've kept all the evidence of the efforts you've made to contact them and get them to settle the matter. If they don't reply to your letter, use the small claims court - Take them to court.
DISCLAIMER - This is not a legal advise. I am just telling you what I would do if I was in your shoes
