Topic: What to do if you get scammed! - page 2. (Read 354 times)
I got scammed for around $200 back in 2017 in an ICO, every coin was pumping back in the day so I didn't care that much lol. But, when you are low on money you realize the value of every penny.
It will just remember on how foolish am I so I'd rather not play that song whenever I get scam nor doesn't have plan to be a victim of those in future, maybe we should set our minds and forget things quickly since its a big headache for us to remember on our money loss from those scammers out there.
I think the beat of the song is not appropriate if you got scammed, and it feels like it's asking you to dance to it. But I don't think getting in that situation will want you to dance. Rather than listening to the song, I will tell my friends about what happens and would ask for their help, but if I can't do anything, I will just let out my frustration and move on although it may be hard depending on how much money you lose. I mean, getting scammed will never be a nice thing, but it will serve a lesson to be careful with our bitcoins. 
There is a Jamiroquai song to play if you get scammed.

Bitcoin is not paypal... transactions are not reversible, once the transaction is confirmed your coins are gone.
Same with other altcoins.
So, if you get scammed, play that song, is the best thing to do. As i always say, bitcoin leassons arent chep at all.

Some of the newbies who get scammed will see btc as a scam in general even though its their own fault, they didn't search or read about it first, they jump right away just because someone told them they will learn a lot of money. They won't even see the lessons, they are just furious.
The first thing they do after being scammed is to share to the world that btc is scam etc. etc. LOL. Funny that a lof of people believe it even without the knowledge of what this currency can really offer.
The only thing I can do if I am deceived or stolen It is crying and anger, in addition to sharing the name or location of the fraudster with everyone so that they can overcome it and not be exposed to it and the feeling as I felt, I do not mind frankly that the deception is very bad, frustrating and incompetent
Fortunately, I did not get scam directly but I lost a huge amount of money by altcoins investment during 2017-2018.
I dont think that is counted as scam record. If you invest on a coin/token during that time and the value suddenly drop then thats an investment loss. Scam is something like someone deceived you and loss money due to the process. At least by this you got something that werent used to trick you. Unfortunately youve loss money. So you cant relate to those guys whose the song are relating to. OP, Im not into music but when I checked the youtube song its really calming but I dont want ever to hear that song if that is for people who got scammed. Just wanted to hear it.
I think its getting calm on this music. The victim will remember all of the more on funky things and avoid thinking they made a mistake even not in scam but in whole life because on the intense and looks like too much hype( this is my opinion only). If you get scammed and the funds cannot brings back to its owner I think you can only thing you could do is to make a report and spread an awareness to the people.
One of the good thing is sharing your experiecne to your friends because you are open up with them and release all of the negative from your self also you are helping them to make more aware about the things you've encountered and spread the news that this is a scam.
Still learn from your mistakes is the best.
If I get scammed, I won't hesitate to share my story with my friends and relatives if they intend to involve in something similar and smell fishy like the scam project I joined.
It is not well to be talkative and automatically talk about my story, I have to wait till there is chances to share. If people don't have interest in one area, like crypto, it is useless when you share any story with them because they will simply ignore such story and keep moving.

The song is very entertaining. It can somehow make you able to feel some relief from stress cause by being scammed or maybe other things that are stressful.
Anyways, if you ever get scammed, learn your lesson and move on. Be more careful next time.
When it comes to the irreversibly of crypto transactions, there is an Israeli blockchain firm that is working on creating a solution that makes it possible to retrieve wrongly sent crypto transactions. I haven't done any research on their project but it seemed fitting to mention it here since we are talking about Bitcoin not being reversible.
If anyone asks, I am in no way connected to the project, but the idea seems interesting.

Interesting stuff! I wonder what will happen to transaction fees if ever this system has been implemented. I remember when the time when I cancelled a bitcoin transaction on a gambling website because I accidentally pasted a bitcoin address that has been used before. Surprisingly, after it gets cancelled, the tx fee has been reduced on the quantity of bitcoin that I am sending.If anyone asks, I am in no way connected to the project, but the idea seems interesting.

Morever, have you tried it with Ledger products? There is an article that says Kirobo has been implemented on Ledger devices.
Quote from: https://insidebitcoins.com/news/kirobo-launches-new-feature-to-allow-reversible-bitcoin-transactions
Kirobo’s Retrievable Transfer feature is now available on all Ledger crypto wallets. It only works for Bitcoin transactions, and it will be free for transactions of up to $1,000.
I can't remember that Ledger is using their services.
It will just remember on how foolish am I so I'd rather not play that song whenever I get scam nor doesn't have plan to be a victim of those in future, maybe we should set our minds and forget things quickly since its a big headache for us to remember on our money loss from those scammers out there.

so basically I lost $100k+ and I need to recover it someone especially since much of that were loans I took out.
This is quite huge losses and I can't even imagine how much this value could be done to my life when I get a 100K USD. The scammer was very luck having that fast and easy money. Anyway, I am also interested on how will other users react to this post? I know that this might be not true but if this really happening then what could be done here by this user?Damn, that was huge, assuming that his narrative was true. Anyway, what else can be done than to move on? Bear in mind that, bitcoin transaction is irreversible, so there's no chance of him getting it back, not unless the receiver are willing to pay him back which on his case won't be happening.
Well going back to OP. The music seems uplifting enough, at least for me. I don't know if listening to it would work for the others though but it is good anyway. However, benefits there are just temporary it might heal what has been damage but still there's no progress happening, and so the best thing to do is to move on and get back to work (here, you'll be able to get your money back, little by little)

It depends on the sum of money that have been scammed if it's only a small amount it's easy to get over with but it involves a huge sum of money it's hard to get back and you want to get back to those who scammed you like what happen to so many ICO and gambling.

Fortunately, I did not get scam directly but I lost a huge amount of money by altcoins investment during 2017-2018. So what we should do before getting a scam in my opinion are>
1. First things to learn from that lesson.
2. Get it normally as much as you can
3. To keep you normal watch funny things, movies, drama, etc.
4. Be strong and start the journey again.
what we should not to do>
1. Don't use any money recovery service like this one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5266549

If you got scammed easily I think you are not good or you are not better on the world of business and investment because this takes a lot of things and secured your self with your funds too. It's better to make a research what are the things we are trying to make an investment or deep dive in.
No, it is not like that, learning is a process.
After you make a mistake and got scammed, the effect of it will not instantly change you. You should really consider a lot of factor why did you made a mistake where you have no certainty about it.
World of business and investment is for everyone, all of us have an opportunity to make our money grow and it depends on us on how we will do it with our own strategy and effort.
Precisely! The only recourse we could do is to take it as a learning experience while at the same time, we must be more vigilant and try to warn others by spreading news about it. Finally, we have to move on no matter how awful that experience maybe. 
Behind every mistakes, there is a lesson that will help you grow and become aware about those scams. Let's just help each other become informed about those scams that are circulating in the internet and warn other people about a circumstances like this. Bad experience are just temporary and can be replaced by a new set of positivities so learn how to accept mistakes and move on.
Please this one user here getting scam with his bitcoin. He had huge losses and possibly this will hurt that much on him. Here is the thread that the user had posted at bitcoin discussion:

The lyrics of the music video is a bit distorted maybe because he wants to stick on a funky music. I hope that you put lyrics on the music video so that it will be understable for people that english is not a native tounge.
Listening to a soothing music really helps people to calm mind and accept what was already done.
The best medicine to overcome your depression is to seek God. He will surely answer you through prayer. I experienced huge loss in my past which at some point, I thought that I want to die because of my foolishness but miracle happened when I find God.

I expected a detailed article, not a YouTube video.
Getting scammed despite such a long list of escrow agents who offer their services on this forum shouldn't happen. There is even a free escrow service so you don't even have to pay any extra fees, unless you want to tip the guy for protecting your ass.
When it comes to the irreversibly of crypto transactions, there is an Israeli blockchain firm that is working on creating a solution that makes it possible to retrieve wrongly sent crypto transactions. I haven't done any research on their project but it seemed fitting to mention it here since we are talking about Bitcoin not being reversible.

I hope this will be done once only. Getting scammed is extremely devastating, so for the sure a person will learn something about it.
Another action that is much better to do is share what they experience, besides listening to that kind of music, it could only help yourself, as the emotional part. But if we share our experience to other people, we might save someone to get scammed again.

We have different things should do in terms of making some laylo or healing your selves about something bad and one of these are
Those are the common things at the end of the day you should learn from your mistakes on getting scammed but still, I think that song given by the OP gives more flashback to all of the investment got because in a single mistake.

- Reading books
- Listening a song
- Watching movies
- Eating and more.
