The only thing I can add is that you spoke up too late and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. Crypto space is one that is so not organized that you are responsible for your own safety as far as your funds is concerned to the extent that you view every service, projects, or promotion with a default skeptical view.

It is so hard to recover those scam money I think you should have done some research before putting a huge amount on the site.
It is the most important thing to do whenever you are investing or just simple putting money anywhere,
It is the first thing that we would do even when we are going to open a savings in the bank we would ask some people around us or even search if they are a good one or there are even better banks to use.

Agree that its a long, tiring process. Sorry to hear this but you really lose a lot. Its a good thing though that you posted about it cause you are helping other users by exposing the scam. I hope we could really help but I don't know any other way. They said it already, report it to your local cybercrime office so they are informed already. I hope you learn a lot from this. Try researching about something before jumping into it. It will save you money and time.

You took the right decision after doing the wrong by asking this question. If you had asked the question first I am cocksure you would've been armed not to fall victim to those scumbags. It's obvious you fell for fraudsters. Again, don't just use any exchange that comes up or dangles enticing discounts before you. In most cases they don't deliver on their promises. You may want to check Coinmarketcap. Sorry for your loss. And I hope you learnt your lesson, anyway.

Sad chronology of a user who suffers from scam:

I guess you spent an hour reading trying to find information ... I don't think it took an hour
in your OP.

After about 16 minutes he receives his first Reply; someone who surely understands him better than person  from the offline world.

Reply #5 his answer appears. At least it did not stay in only the OP, at least he had the honesty to tell more in that second answer ... I have seen many cases like yours ... on my local dashboard it happens, on all local dashboards for sure at least once someone came with a similar story, but with the same sad ending, Scam/ripped off.

That tells me that you only read up to post #10 /

From here on, this already happens to support future readers, I include myself.


One should always read about scams, the worst scam to come is the one we don't know about, it seems obvious ... is so painful, like saying, "how i didn't see it coming"

There are so common scams, like yours, that many of us get vaccinated against it, but that does not make us immune, that's why
mistrust and information in the long term are the best immunity by 99.99%

So you have fallen into these trading plans?



Sorry to say but it would really be a long process to take legal actions on this one.You can still possibly get some help but
go to your local cybercrime division and ask on what are the possible actions that you can file up on them but since
due to anonymity aspect of this market its indeed a hard stuff.

If the ones you got involved with is a crypto related scam, then honestly, you might be losing hope of getting your funds back because at the first thing, you must have already know that it is a full of risks doing transaction in relation with cryptocurrencies for once you have done a transaction and it was already confirmed, then there is no turning back. Getting into a scam which relates to crypto currency usage have a very small possibility to none that you can still be able to get your funds back for what you are having a transaction with is a stranger with an anonymous personality that if things get worst even if he told you his identity might be a fake one or a stolen identity from someone.

Actually at the first time they have asked you for additional payment for claiming your profit into the once you have invested with is that the first thing that must come into your mind that it is already a scam. But instead, you keep on sending them payments that costs you a lot which must have been prevented or avoided if you already let go instead of keep pushing to claim it that already costs you a lot of money spent. Seriously with such cases, you are already having no hopes because that was a clear scam and that scammer must have run together with your funds. This must be a lesson to you not to get fooled once again by obvious scams of asking you lots of payments because the first time they did, it was already a scam

Why did you trust again and send deposited to them because if they are real project not need to do that and that obviously is a scam.
A legit project will not adding more funds to their investors once they withdraw we should learned about this . $100k is huge and we don't know if it's go back again or not but make sure next time just be careful and think more before depostiting again of your money to every investment or project.

When you ask about authorities who deal with these types of crimes you need to contact cyber a police cyber crime division. They deal with online scams and should be able to help you. If the company that scammed you was registered and is still operating maybe there's a chance to get some money back. Many people were able to win court cases against scammers.

Most crypto is not regulated by the government, so it is very difficult when we fall victim to scams to recover from losses.
In other words we have to give up and move on. And this is a lesson for all of us not to use capital from loan money.
So the only agencies that can help you are the police, but there's no guarantee you can get your money from scammers.

I don't think there is a specific agency that could help you. There is no chance of getting your money back since this is an online investment. Just take it as a lesson that invest what you can afford to lose and use only those exchanges that already have a name in crypto.

In this case you cant do anything about it but to move on.
Its a huge money indeed but it already happened, so use that experience as a lesson to not trust easily and be careful because its your hard-earned money.

I think most of us already experience becoming victimized of scam but managed to forget those unfortunate situation and recover what we have lost by striving and working hard.

theres few ico befofe that offers money back guarantee service. if only he is a part of those he will stil get his funds back but those kind of projects are mostly legit and secured because its thier lost if they dont let things flow according to thier plan  .

unfortunately most projects that are popping out are not as good as the projects that i mention above and people blindly invest on them  . once they loose , its hard to recover what they lost

Sorry about your loss man but to be honest with you there is absolutely no way for you to get your funds back especially in ICOs and IEOs. What you need to do next time is to make sure that whatever funds you are investing in any project is something you can afford to lose and also the project is worth investing in. So you might want to consider things like use cases, token economics,  experienced team members etc.

Since it is an online investment, sad to say but it would be close to impossible to get your money back. Informations are limited and anonymity is protected to most of the online investments especially those that are related to cryptos. First move you may try is to look for the project's country origin if possible. Cryptocurrencies are not that much being given attention especially to countries wherein it is not legal. Another thing to do is to look for the names of people behind that project, also if possible, wherein you may start tracing down. But this would be tough for sure. Goodluck!

authority? can you please tell me what authority is in charge of crypto crime. because this really helps a lot of people who experience the same thing in crypto, so I think you can explain everything here. please your review is very helpful

Then ,don't fall easily to all easy money scheme because all they want is to scam people. IF you scam for sure you will not recover it.So,be careful.

Sorry to hear that but you might as well move on already. You can try asking for help through agencies such as local police etc. Hassle and will take a lot of your time casue you'll be going through different offices. Try accepting that it won't change. You are now included to the long list of scammed people. I just wished you already learn from this. But yup, that's a big money you just lost there.

Might as well focus on doing something to earn it back.

once you send a crypto you cant take them back especially from a person that intend to steal you money . never seen a person that have been scammed that recovered their money except if its hacks happend from a legit platforms because theres still a chance that the owner will cover the lost . what is that site an exchange or something ? but its name is not familiar here , non familiar site should be avoided at the first place . now they ask more which means they are guilty .

I highly doubt anyone might be able to help you with recovering your funds. You got scammed. There is no easy way for you to get back your scammed money. The scammers, they always think ahead. They hide their traces and identity really good. If someone claims that they can recover your fund and tells you to send a "fee" first, don't! Those people will also try to scam you.
You could try taking help from the cops, but I doubt they will be able to help.
