Someone close lost his bitcoin to some scammers who posed as an ICO project admin.
We have the wallet address but there's no way on planet earth to trace the fraudster offline.

Don't you think its high time , this is looked into.
There needs to be a way of linking account owners to their offline address .
This would mitigate in no small measure the prevalence of frauds.

It is our mistake if we have been scammed by the scammer who posed as ICO admin because it is a basic mistake.
Real admin won't approach you first, therefore we should not give any response to the peoples who approach us as admin.
We need to gain more knowledge about how to secure our coins in cryptocurrency to avoid fraudsters.

There are many scammers in cryptocurrency, that's why we need to take extra cautions before we spend our coins.
I think ICO admin won't message you first in most ICO, you must message them first to avoid any kind of fraud.
Although we cannot trace the fraudster wallet, we can trace their address where they sent if they using ETH network.

Actually you can track the fraudster wallet address if they sent their coins to the exchange address.
Most exchange requiring KYC to withdraw crypto or fiat currency in the user's account.
So, if you know the fraudster address and where they sent their coin, the exchange owner should know who is the fraudster.

it's very difficult, scammers always have many ways to make individual losses, sometimes they manipulate the market. so the market is not balanced.

until today, we can only have difficulty tracking them.

i am sorry to say this but it is the person's fault for losing money and there is nothing others can do for him. the warnings are there and we have been telling you not to trust ICOs since they are scams but you chose not to listen and give in to your greed.
you gambled and you lost. now learn from that mistake and move on trying not to repeat it again.

Yeah, you are right. Learn from your mistake, lots of people today didnt think what they will do they just go with the flow at the end, they regret on what they do, just dont regret yourself, think in a good way.

It is true that there is no connection for offline, but I also hope that it can be overcome as soon as possible, and we should remain patient with the price situation that has dropped like this.

Thats why it is very important to know and research first the project before joining. Scammers are everywhere, do everything just to steal your coins. Crypto can make you rich but it can make you also loose everything if you are not careful. Give time to learn crypto and have knowlèdge about it.

Maybe you can give some address/proof of your transaction so it will be clearer what’s the name of the ICO project deceived you and the name of the scammer who claimed as the admin of the ICO project.
Then for our own bitcoin security we have to research first before making any investment so we don't get scammed. Because that's where we draw conclusions from several teams of the ICO projects whether it is safe or not to invest.

There are lots of scammers out there and we need to be very careful especially when sending funds to other people, it's his/her mistake because he just send btc to someone he really don't know meaning he didn't do strict due diligence and there's now way he can recover it because transactions are irreversible.

The security system is always penetrated by hackers, with the aim of stealing crypto from penetrated accounts. So, e-wallet security must always be updated, because hackers can enter anywhere. For example, from a scam email or from the internet when browsing accidentally enters hackers' content.

bitcoin can make people get rich to invest in it or can make people fall into poverty because they can go bankrupt and as security guards it must be very strict so that people are not easy to take btc

Bitcoin is a valuable coin, which is well kept in reserve, and has to keep an account for keeping bittacon and keeping its password confidential. If it knows someone else, then they can take it. So the password is kept secret.

That is very unlikely. But it is best to cooperate with reputable managers and that will help us to avoid fraud. Although salary is less than other projects, we need safety.

Linking anonymous wallet addresses to people's actual names defeats it's nature of being anonymous. Anyways, wallets are pretty secure and people lose money most of the time because of their own carelessness, like in this case. Just take it as a lesson so it won't happen again.

Yes it’s a very useful event for the future because there have been a lot of scammers in ICO who claim as a team and admin of the ICO project. So don't regret if something like that happens next time I am sure you will be more careful to choose an ICO project so that it won’t happen again.

In my opinion, it is very difficult to carry out security in the crypto world because even though we maintain our privacy, there are still irresponsible individuals like hackers who will certainly be smarter to track all our privacy. Maybe our crypto will be safe if the fraudsters are aware of what they are doing that is detrimental to others.

I think its hard to do in cryptocurrency world. We know crypto is decentralized system and everybody can open a wallet without giving any information detail about him.
Its really sad when scam always happen in this market but i am believe more people will more aware about this and they will start researching first before making any investment

Only awareness can mitigate this scams, and most of the time awareness only comes when you get scammed first.
