This may serve as a learning experience for you OP,because the bitcoin transaction is irreversible and cannot be undone so just forget about the bitcoin but remember the experience

ACtually what you did is a basic scammers victim act and only greed people believes on this scam strategy

Sorry for your lost,  but am not sure bitcoin transactions is reversible. That's one of the disadvantages of using cryptocurrency which I hope can be address as the system advance.
However, We just have to be careful not to be greedy in any transaction.  It obvious you fell for their tactics of rewarding you awesomely. Don't be greedy in any cryptocurrency transactions or else you will continue be scam.

Hi readers,

Two days ago I have been scammed a message lured me to sent btc's to be rewarded with btc's. Is there a way to undo the payment?   I bought with a credit card for the first time btc's and open an Electum wallet where my btc's can transfer to. From the wallet I did the payment to the scammer(s).

Hope it can be fixed.

It is so sad that you fall into a beautiful word of someone...sorry but you can't recover your bitcoin once you sent it successfully. It just could be possible to get it back if the person will return it to you which really impossible to happen nowadays. That's why next time be careful in joining or clicking links. Hope that what happened to you will be charge to experience to avoid it to happen again.

accepts the fact that when you enter cryptocurrency most of the time you will get scammed by someone, you will just only sit and do nothing because you dont have really the power you can only make it in a public but in the end you will earn nothing.

Sorry to say but Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, However if you have any of the person's details like name, bank details, phone number, website, physical address e.t.c then just go and file a report with the person's details, and also make sure you post the details on different social medias and forums so others don't fall for it too.

You just let it go I guess because the scammer won't give your money back. Something you can do is take the lesson from what happened and don't get scam again and also just moved on.

Bitcoin scammer is increasing day by day and peoples are falling for these scams because of greed like lottery,[Suspicious link removed] in 24 hours etc before bitcoin transaction we need to verify is this scam or real because bitcoin transaction is not reversible only awareness can save us. if we get scammed than we need to aware other peoples by posting on this forum or on YouTube also if we are investing in any project than we need to do research about technical team and owner background than make our decision.

You can spread the news on this forum and forums alike and make people more aware of this doing. However if you won't somehow convince the scammer to give back at least some of your coins you can say goodbye to them.

Every business doing, as long money is involved, someone needs to be careful as it seen, which means Bitcoin is a crypto currency, like wise other alt-coin created, and working with they potential in the industry, Having say that, currently They is project going and called Cryptopolice, which fight against scammers, and also implemented and ICO is live.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it except maybe if you would want to ask the CIA of FBI maybe they have ways with their high tech computers and technician. The only clear thing you can do now is to make this experience a basis so that in the future you will never be scammed again.

There is no chance to get in the wake of being misled. You cannot get back the eth or btc you send. Simply keep yourself in positive reasoning and regard it as a preliminary. Learned and be more carefull in this online industry. Keep in mind and don't confide in any individuals around you.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible.. Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but that's just the way it is. As soon as your transaction ends up in a block, there is no way to cancel it.
The only things you can do is open a proper scam report on this forum, so at least other's won't fall in the same trap as you did, maybe try to track down the scammer (depends on the method he used to scam you... Most of the time it's very hard, nearly impossible, to track them down) and last but not least: learn from this experience...
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Nobody has a magic method to multiply BTC, nobody will double your money without effort from your side...
He is right bitcoin transactions is irreversible because in a way it is to maintain to security of transactions but the darker side it offers is that most finds way to abuse this kind of system, there might be no way to bring back the money but learn things from it and what you did wrong, nobody learns in this world without making mistakes.

After Bitcoin's transaction data is packaged into a "data block" or "block", the transaction is initially confirmed, and the transaction is basically irreversibly confirmed.
If you are cheated that you don't have any remedy, your alarm is useless, because BTC is semi-anonymous, it is difficult to get relevant identity information!

Do first is open a proper scam report on this forum. Try to track down the scammer depends on the method he/she used. Bitcoin transaction are irreversible.
This wont help here. People just need to learn few basic rules. Never send btc to anyone for no reason especially if they tell you, you'll be rewarded with extra coins.

Always be careful on sending money to anonymous persons. But I think once you transfer your bitcoin to that you can not undo it. Hopefully, it could be a lesson learned from you. Well, I think you are a newbie here and you did not know or you have not enough knowledge to the community. Used an application or websites that you fully trusted. Now that I think it could not back your money, be careful next time so that no one can lured you again.
