I thought I would be seeing some sort of advise as it's posted in Beginners & Help board but looks like this is a click bait, lol.. thread title is misleading IMO. Thanks for the video anyway, it's my first time to see it, this has over 92k views, so maybe these are the numbers who are interested to know what to do when you get scammed, or people who got scammed already?

If you get scammed in crypto space than forget about it and move on. There is no way you will be able to retrieve those cryptocurrencies.
Also do not fall for websites or individuals who claim that they can get it back for you for a fee. Those websites and individuals are basically again scamming you.
The best thing you can do is to not to fall for Giveaways, Doubling schemes and Investment schemes.

I was scammed too when I was selling altcoins with p2p on telegram without using escrow. I trusted that man because he seems knows too much about the project and promise me to send his payment after he is done with this thing. He said to me: I'm currently walking to get home after I get home in an hour I send to you the payment. then after that, he promises me after he is done with his dinner he will surely send me the payment. It goes up to another reason after that he never replied to my message again. My advice to you guys, no matter how the person came to you with a good offer don't send your BTC or altcoin first. use some escrow we have a lot of them here.
You have nothing to do with that, the best option is to deal with it, learn to accept and learn from it.
You should be responsible with your assets and you should not trust anyone that you don't personally know.
Also, don't click any links that are suspicious or visit sites that is not that popular and downloading from unknown source is also risky. Also be aware about those schemes that they use in some popular platforms because recently there are reports about high profile personality in twitter used as a tool for scamming.
You should understand that not all of the rewards/giveaways that you see in a certain website or platform is true and legit. Learn to determine the difference between fraud and legit, scams and real.

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

Bitcoin is not PayPal, of course, but whenever possible it should be approached in a way that protects us as much as possible. Take forum trading, for example, no one can scam anyone if we use escrow - even if it's about Bitcoin transactions. If you are buying something online and paying with BTC and there is no possibility of escrow, then first research the seller and start with a smaller amount.
People get scammed only because they do not know what they are doing, and if they send coins to cloud mining, investments that pay 10% per day on deposit or to some Nigerian prince - then they can only cry and play that song.
Transactions are not reversible but they are transparent, and as has been shown with the recent hack in Twitter the scammers could be tracked down if they leave a trail. Reports suggests that a combination of Bitcoin address information and online chats were used to get the Florida hacker.
These efforts were most likely used because of the scale of the theft, in smaller scams however making it public would warn people of the strategies used and more attention would make it easier to get the perpetrators should they slip up.
You should also learn from your mistakes whether or not you recover your funds to avoid falling victim again.

Pass, rather I would heal my would by writing some warning to others to prevent them from finding themselves in exact or similar situation. Getting scammed is a scenario I wouldn't what others to experience but that's unlikely to happen. I thought I was too careful myself until I became a victim, scammers are constantly looking for new and improved ways to get their hands on your coin and if you're the type that's actively looking for new way to increase your holding, you're vulnerable.
In regards to securing yourself in the investment area, becoming a strong bitcoin believer would scale your through. We have all sort if distractions in the industry that scammers could leverage on to steal your coin but staying focus on bitcoin would do the trick.

Playing that funky-ass song will probably just add insult to the injury lmao. Probably the last thing someone who got scammed want to do is to listen to music to dance to.
I checked the link to know what genre it is and yeah it's not my type lmao 
. I am not a fan of funk music (I'm not actually sure of the genre)
Anyway, listening to a music which relates in your experience is a nice way to cope with it. Fortunately, in my 3 years of journey inside the crypto sphere I haven't scammed yet (and I hope never will be). Though I joined fraudulent HYIPs and faucets before, I did not include it on the list since I didn't spend even a cent with those platforms. You know! A beginner thing — crazed on trying everything and hoping to earn "free" money without investing hahaha. But honetsly, I considered it as a blessing in disguise tho.

Because bitcoin and crypto transactions are irreversible (except very special cases that should not be expected to happen again), to avoid huge losses or lose all capital, let's follow the rule 1: don't trade with huge amount or all of your capital with anyone else. Next rule, don't forget rule 1.
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.
I got scammed twice in just a month and it is indeed devastating. I'm just glad that it wasn't a huge amount but of course I have my regrets. As a saying goes, "One is enough, two is too much, three is dangerous." And I won't let that happen to me the third time.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.

Anyway, about the song, that was some upbeat music. I don't know if I could dance along with that after such incident but to make things light, might as well listen to it so your mood would shift. Not just sure if it would work for me.
There is a Jamiroquai song to play if you get scammed.

If you get scammed learned from it and post it in the scam section or create an article on it so you can warned people about this kind of scam, it's part of our experience here in Bitcointalk not that you are careless but you take the risk in investing or going for it, you will learn and you will get an insight on how to be a better investor.

It's not what I was expecting but I like it 
I also recommend listening to it before checking the market or opening your trading accounts.
