Sorry to say but it can't be undone. Once you sent your bitcoin to other people's wallet, there is almost no way to get your bitcoin back. Unless that person want to give it back to you, which is absolutely impossible i think.
I hope you don't lose a big amount of bitcoin, since it really must suck. I'm sorry for you to experience that, but you shouldn't believe that kind of scammy message in the first place. It's absolutely weird, there's no way they will give you btc if you give them btc. Well just make this as a great lesson, be careful and don't believe that kind of thing anymore so in the future you'll be fine.

your transaction cannot be canceled, and the BTC you send to the scammer will not come back again after you have gone through several transaction stages.


I think you should be careful when you receive an obscure message. and has no purpose.

and do not respond to messages from people you do not know. unless you have to use escrow.

You just have to moved on and learn from it, by the next time you will be able to handle or secure your account and may that be a lesson for you to learn on how to be safe in all aspects of life. Just be attentive enough and learn different things on how to secure your account.

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.
That's right. You should take an action for it. You should be careful in joining campaign because there are two things thst will might happen its either you gain some token or you lose. You should be wise in this industry.

We already experience a scam and Yes it's irreversible. Good thing we lost only around 250 USD and not more. What we experience is a phishing site who looks exactly the same on a website that we are currently working with. That person told us to open our account on the link they sent and the site look the same and they will send us bonus BTC for doing so. We put the credentials then they took our money.

I'm not scummed yet but it happens to me that maybe I'll cry because I'm missing out on bitcoin. I know we're in the scummer and we keep our private key so no scummed bad guys.

I don't think there is anything you can do if scam in Bitcoin, just forget and move on then learn from your mistake for it not to happen again, make sure you don't click any how site and always check the url very well before you input your details has many site are phishing one now adays, make a good password and also Google authentication to prevent your account for been scam and also use hardware wallet to store your coins or cold wallet which you have your private key and never let anyone has access to it.

You cannot reverse a bitcoin transaction. Treat it as a lesson and be careful in future not to do the same mistake.

I think you should report your account, if you are joining bounty campaigns, let the bounty manager know about your account that is being hacked. And if you can open your account, transfer the important things and coins to your new account in order to have savings left to you.

Well, your bitcoin is already sent and they are not irreversible, you just have to accept it that Btc is lost. And learn our lessons through this. Next time you have to check properly and don't be hook by false promises...

First of all, I am so sorry for what you face dude. Blockchain technology is a secure technology, and so you cannot reverse what you do in the network (Sending BTC). It is a decentralized technology, unlike banking. So next time, you should be careful before sending funds from your wallet to the other wallet. And never send BTC to people that you don't know.

If you are cheated, you should be smart as soon as possible away from the place where you cheated and you also have to warn people around the people involved to hold their information to stop investing.

Take it as a loss and accept it? I mean there's really nothing you can do with Bitcoin except attempt to expose the scammer for what they are an attempt to stop them from being able to scam in the future. You can't reverse a transaction with Bitcoin, once it's sent it's sent.

You're going to have to take this as a lesson and move on, it does suck to lose money but it's like losing cash -- be more careful next time in who you trust with your hard earned money.

one owes himself the responsibility of safe guarding his wallet or bitcoins and every other cryptocurrency assts the person has. if you ever get scammed it means you did something wrong in safeguarding your wallet so you have to increase your security level

What to do when being scammed

If the scam took place with fiat currency involved in it:

There are some departments of government to deal with such scams as far as fiat currency is involved. You can file an initial complaint and let the investigating officials do their work.


If the scam took place with cryptocurrency involved in it:

Learn from it, help others to stay safe from such kind of scams and move on from it. Crypto is all about self-responsibility, it is strong as a technology but nothing can be done in case of the carelessness of the user. I don't see any practical cases when investigating agencies helped in the case of crypto scams.

if you expect to cancel the transaction I do not think it is possible, you should be more careful in believing someone else next time.
