Very well said. As I always tell those who are telling me that they want to start investing with cryptocurrency, always DOUBT everything first. In that way, you will investigate everything first before proceeding to any decisions. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. As per the recovery of your losses, I do not think that it will really be possible to get them back.

     I feel so sorry for you man. I really am. Because I think there really is too little of a chance (if there is any) for you to be able to get back all those losses. This is because I too learned the hard way. It just so happened that I am lucky enough to not lose as much as what you have lost plus loans. That's why I really wish everyone who are just about to enter this industry would really put in the effort to do a thorough research about this industry. Because things like these happening only make the crypto currency industry look bad for the general public. Im not saying literally that you didn't do enough research because in some cases people just get caught off guard but you really should have been cautious. I hope others may learn from your story and be cautious about everything in this industry. Because it never hurts to be too cautious. Id rather be called paranoid than to lose my assets again.

You are in a big crisis right now because if you have no solid proof that they scammed you and you have no other details on how to go after them then you have a very small chances in getting  your money back.

It will be better if you will just consider it as your big losses and move on as you will only spend more money again just to go after them which is very costly and the chances that your money will likely to be returned is still very slim.

In op's case, he did not invest the whole $100k at once, the scammers were able to get that huge amount of money from op by asking him to continuously send money. But the thing is, I don't know why op kept sending them money and just ask for help when it reaches $100k when it's already suspicious if they asked you to send funds to release your fund in the first place.

Op can report it to their government authorities in this field to give warning to other people but it's unlikely to get back the money he lost. It's a pity but that's the consequence of trusting easily on an exchange without properly researching.

The address says they are from UK you can do a research if the address is really correct, you can write a formal letter from their host and if you can prove by sending them emails that they are abusing their server then they will take down the site and if you can get a court order you can have the names of the people that website, there is a note in any privacy policy of websites that they can provide information under special circumstances.

That is a very huge loss having 100K usd is not really a joke. If there is an agency that could help you this then you can go to the authority and they will forward you to the right agency for this. Have you tried this in your place to reach out the authority? If it does and no progress then you can ask the scammer directly to ask him politely to hand over your money and om exchange you will be giving him out depending on the percentage you wanted to give out to the scammer. But this is rarely going to happen. Scammer will always going for scam for they too are in great needs to support their vices or etc.

yes, this is why it is also important for all of us here to be more careful about the things that happen with cryptocurrency. We do not know that we may end up too or  from the traps of scam activities or hacking site. The most important thing to be safe is to use offline or hardware wallet for those hackers and for the exchanges is one should bookmark legit exchange site, and or to make sure of using sites that has been known good and no bad reputation. Being aware makes everything fall into smoother doing business with cryptocurrency of any if its platform.

Most of the resources I've read about bitcoin warn against unrecognized exchange/trading platforms and explain that once they get your coins, it's almost impossible to get them back. If you can trace the owner of the platform and gather as much proof that you've been scammed as possible, there's a chance you can sue them and recover your losses.

I don't know what country you are in, but over $100 k is such huge money I will have second thought investing even $1000 to an exchange that is not even popular in the community, what made you decide to invest here when there are other options and those other options are big exchange with a good reputation, I doubt if you can get your money back the address on their webpage could be wrong better create a scam report, so people will be aware.

That is a huge money. But like others, I don't think if there are resources to help recover your money. The best you can do, I guess, is that you work so that you can earn the money you lost. I hope you've learned from this. Never ever trust anything like that again. Do some research first. Remember, think before you click. Always be cautious.

It's really sad to hear such an experience, most newbies are fooled by scammers. They are often victims because scammers take advantage of the newbie's desire to make money. There is very little chance for you to get your money back, this will serve as a lesson to you and next time be careful don't ever trust so easily.

I am sorry but you are truly an idiot. How someone like you even manages to end up having that amount of money disgusts me. I wish I had that money, gosh what I could do with it. YOu just threw away a life changing amount to a scammer. That money went to a scammer instead of honest exchanges. People like you damage yourselves and the rest of us. It annoys me that if they took 100k from you how much from others? They can do one scam and retire.

Why on earth would you need a "package" to trade on an exchange? 5 trades / day?? Wtf are you kidding me?? People trade thousands of times. These packages cost up to 50k $$ holy hell these scammers aim high

"The minimum deposit amount will depend on the base currency of your account of $500 or its equivalent in EUR, GBR and AUD"

The minimum deposit is $500??? Lol so legit....

"Client's Testimonials" why would an exchange need this? Testimonials are a classic scam technique to make you think they are being vouched for and are trusted. Scams are always so desperate to prove they are legit. Legit exchanges do not need to tell you they are legit. It's just silly.

"We do not accept Fiat on our trading platform as we are fully a cryptocurrency organisation." Yet they ask for KYC? "You will need to provide a copy of a valid government-issued ID. (Passport, driver’s license, ID card)"
Typical for scammers to ask for KYC.

What were you thinking? Why did you fall for this? You deserve this and only have yourself to blame. I don't feel sorry for you.

You are even more stupid then I thought because not only did you just for for a scam you are about to fall for a second scam. You just asked if there is a plave you can go to that will help you get your funds back. Yes there are plenty and they are all scams. They double scam you. You haveto be a special kind of stupid to fall for those.

Your fund are gone there is nothing you can do that website can dissapear over night and now they know who you are where you live and have your money.

this problem occurs very often. This is the weakness of crypto if you don't have your own legal entity to regulate crypto services, there will be many scammers and many victims in this case. So your best bet is to try contacting coinkast.io for an explanation

Lots of newbies experience the same thing as you, because if you are a victim of crypto scams, it is almost impossible to recover your losses.
After all, some countries haven't legalized crypto yet, so there are no agencies to help you. Except the country where you live, crypto has been
legalized by the government, you can ask the police for help to track down the scammers who have tricked you. This is a lesson for all of us,
that don't invest in unpopular platforms. Like coinkast.io whose name I have never heard of.

you should try to contact coinkast.io customer service for you to ask for clarity, because that is the only way so that your assets can be returned

Why need to reach $100k before realizing that you are a Scam victim?
where in the world that you need to pay more money just to get your own Funds?this is inappropriate for either newbies or old timer here in crypto.
That is also my concern why need to take long time before this happens?

But OP is asking for agencies that can help Them at least file cases in real life against sites that scams them.
Lucky that i never become a victim and will never be one .

That's one of the issues of people who are in a hurry to make a profit, they do not take time to do a research and they do not ask first if the project is release, the hardest thing is they keep asking for additional money to scam their victims, they are like a leech they will not let you go until your last blood.

I have not heard nor read about the site better create a scam accusation about this website in the scam section so other people will be warned.

That's sad. Some sites are disguised as exchange, casino, etc. The possibilty that you can recover your funds is very little. Next time, do not trust these kind of sites. Legit sites will only deduct the transaction fee from your funds and if ever that it doesn't meetthe amount needed then that's the time to deposit some cash and withdraw it.

Didn't you notice that it is already a scam the moment that they kept adding additional fees? Don't let yourself be fooled when you encountered some of these sites again.

The first question I'm gonna ask is where did you find that website? who introduced it to you?

If you accidentally found it on google, when you are searching for something you can invest for, something like that, I guess the first thing you would search next is "is this site (the one you mentioned) legit?" so that so can have an idea if your money is safe with them or not.

If someone introduced it to you, like a friend or an acquaintance, then you should ask them or should I say put the blame on them because maybe they were a part of that scam.

The money you've risked for them could take a lot of time and effort to get back when you're going to report it to the authority, let's just hope they would be serious about your case when you submit it to them. This could be a long chase because scammers online is pretty tough to find.

There's a guy on youtube who were revealing scammers (I don't know if he's a legit one or not) but give it a try. He might give you a hand if he is a legit one.

It depends on what country you are in. But if you're trying to know if there's one, yes there are many authorities that are in charge of cryptocurrency crimes. In our country, SEC or Securities and Exchange Commission who handles ponzi and scam platforms that operate in our countries.

You can report a platform so they will prohibit the operation of the website but you will not recover your loss because it's in the blockchain.
