How can I report to police when bitcoin is not even recognized in my country LOL

I think that is not logical at all, all crimes that harms you or even anyone you know with or without any recognitions by government or law against it as long as it cause damages to you or to your family. Can be reported on any local police and be investigated by the authorities for any reason. That's what they we're mandated to perform. I don't think they have the right to refused for in the first place they are public servants.

Where to report a cybercrime?

We know how hard to tracked such crime when in fact most crimes committed on internet has only low rate of success.. But in things like this,, trying to report in agencies working around modern technologies and equipments the possibilities is much higher.. Every country and states has that particular office and it would helped much if you contacted or inquired ahead of time when those crimes still undone..

Where to report a cybercrime?

Internet-related crime, like any other crime, should be reported to appropriate law enforcement investigative authorities at the local, state, federal, or international levels, depending on the scope of the crime. Try to report unbordered crime in both locales; in a ideal case, both agencies will have to communicate in order to share details/evidence in the case, and it should be easier for the agency to obtain records in its own locale. Citizens who are aware of federal crimes (you really dont have to worry about this, but it will save you the time of getting interviewed by more than one agency) should report them to local offices of federal law enforcement instead. If you go to the lowest man on the totem pole with this, then understand they will pass the case up the chain of command, and you will be subject to presenting your case every time it switches agencies.

just because it involves bitcoin, doesnt make it a cyber crime. if you got robbed, or had a paper wallet stolen or snatched, the regular cops work just fine Wink

Going to the nearest police station is a first step, but in most case, they are not trained to react to this type of criminality...
I am not sure they will take efficient actions

You can try but don't get your hopes up if nothing happens. I can imagine many police wouldn't even know how crypto works let alone investigate it.

If your country has regulated the cryptos then should be some laws related to them. If cryptos are legal in your country then, there must be cyber cell at your local police station; you can go there and register your complain. I am not aware about any special authority who is responsible to look after such crypto crimes.

If you don't seem got the answers as of this moment, it is better to go the authorities now and asked about it. It will be good to have a conversation with them related to the issues you've been raised. And post it here for others will know especially those who were the same country that you belong. One of this days I'm looking forward to inquire about it in our national Bureau of investigation.

If you live in an european country that knows Bitcoin, the police application will not be wrong, the police will lead you, the computer is no different than the crime, after all the crimes related to hacking are not punished.

Exactly. Crime is crime, if its offline or online. The police want to see crime reduced , it is literally their tax funded job to assist you with this. Depending on where you live, they will refer you to the cybercrime department (like, everyone has one of these, you have to live in the freaking outback for this not to be the case). If they can't/don't, your federal government has a cyber crime division; if it doesn't, as a bitcoin user, you should actually consider moving away if possible, LOL. if you were defrauded by a known business/ public actor, you also have the option to file a civil suit in most jurisdictions; the burden of proof will be on you in this case, and its difficult to subpoena financial records from wary institutions when you are not a LEO.

This is one key weakness I have with bitcoin because there is no way scammers can be gotten even those advanced countries that have specialised units for cyber crimes which bitcoin falls under the category, I don't see them dedicating quite an amount of their resources over a few thousands dollars and this is something that will be hard to implement couple with the fact that the culprit could be domiciled in another country.

To the nearest police station, just as you would report a normal crime. Some police stations might have specialized teams to deal with cyber crimes, which may help you.

It is good for you if there's a nearest police station that having a specialized in cybercrime. In my state of country, there's nothing in the police station who specialized this crime. except maybe in the capital city. Its a huge problem as long as we use this cryptocurrency as investment, You can't get a cybercrime protection. may I know what kind of crypto crime over you? Private key stolen or wallet hacked. Or maybe something else.

In love with Bitcoin!! 💓💕

Well there is a difference between cyber crime and cryptocrime. Cybercrime you can easily report to the cyber cells of your police forces, but reporting crypto crime is a bit risky. Since in most countries cryptos are illegal as of now, so forget any help from the Police in case of crypto scams and all. Instead, there have been news of people reporting for crypto crimes being questioned by the authorities!!!

google the name of your country, and "cybercrime", then follow the trail.

If you are in the EU, you should find information at the Commission level.

Usually, each government will have their own site specifically designed for handling cyberscams. Just search up 'online scam report' and your country's name, you should get a government website that pops up.

Just don't expect anything. Remember that scammers come prepared and most will cover their identities. Even if they get caught which is highly unlikely you will probably get nothing to compensate.

Operating any sort of investigation across border is hard, let alone having an online one, with people hiding under pseudonyms and using VPN and Tor. Just make sure that when paying with BTC please use an escrow, btc is irreersible and this is the only way to lower your risk of getting scammed.

There is a specific branch of police 👮 enforcement that the function is for cybercrime activities. And if you have like Federal bureau of investigations it is better you go to them directly because they have machinery of tracking those hackers than the local police.

report to the police,cybercrime is a crime,some countries have introduced
teams to fight the cybercrimes specifically,UK issued instructions to the police on how to retain btcoins
Australia and the US are working closely with the exchanges to prevent money laundering crimes etc.

That's right. In the EU they are taking these things seriously.
This Czech citizen, who stole a lot of money from a dark web marketplace was quickly found and arrested. You might've heard about this case.

So, if you were a victim just go to your local police and they will send the papers to their cybercrime division. If it's a small amount don't expect them to act, but with big money they can be relentless Cheesy
