Wow, someone just sent almost $200K worth of XRP to this shitty scamming sites? I had no idea that people still believe in the Giveaway scam Shocked

Nothing much can be done as the transactions are irreversible at this point. Except that the exchanges could help avail you the information of the scammer, that's if he has passed KYC with them. I do seem some exchange addresses linked to the scammer's addresses through activations. But in order to get such information you may need to first open up some investigations with the local authorities plus so necessary documents.

I do see binance and Luno activations

Thanks. Yep, those two exchanges are on our radar.

This is certainly a sad situation and someone who got caught up in a youtube livestream which seemed to make sense in the moment. The person is very intelligent and feels completely horrible about this and can't believe they fell for something like this either.

Let's keep the conversation focused on any potential solutions.

Thanks for everyone's responses so far!

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

As far as the hacking/scamming goes, I barely see any news that some scammers/hacker get caught by the authorities especially here online with cryptocurrency with those scam giveaways and double etc.

So I can only say that the money is lost.

If your friend is willing to report this incident to authorities, I suggest to message the host/registrar of the website (I checked it on whois its namecheap). You can ask them to provide the details of the person who owned that website, though I don't know if they will provide personal info but its worth to try.

There are some recovery services you might see online, if they say they can provide you help, know that they are fake recovery services that want to scam your friend. There is nothing that can be done than your friend to forget about it, the coin's gone, and not reversible. So sorry for the loss.

Yes, this is the only way to recover the coin. But I will not suggest anyone to use any online coin/money recovery service if the servicer are not you relative or well know person. Most of the time these online money recovery service double scam with the victim. So it's not suggestive IMO.

So around 102,278.343762 XRP was scammer if I don't mistake. This a huge amount really. I can not understand who has such amount of crypto how they fall into these trap? Atleast they should have some basic knowledge about recent crypto scams. So sad.

Any thoughts or recommendations on next steps would be greatly appreciated.

One thing about cryptocurrencies is that users should not send crypto to a wrong address, not only wrong address but also scam addresses should be avoided. There is nothing that can be done again. There are some recovery services you might see online, of they say they can provide you help,know that they are fake recovery services that want to scam your friend again. There is nothing that can be done than your friend to forget about it, the coin is coin and not reversible. So sorry for the loss.

I'm curious what the minimum value would need to be to warrant hiring private investigator, etc. Any thoughts? 1M $10M? less?

I regret to share that my buddy fell victim to the "send to this address and we'll send double back" scam.

The website was xrpceo2021.com and he lost a significant amount.

Here's a link to the transaction:

https://xrpscan.com/tx/495C5FC9A54B86BE6CCE79AC0CC920B3182F0A0DE8C136B71A5EE924077037AD

Here's the address:
https://xrpscan.com/account/rU5HET9s6PeWbuXBiQWchDuPeqAw3kAhu9

You can see the split of the total funds going to these two accounts:
https://xrpscan.com/account/rNiR4UMMdkk28Qf5x77xFc7SZk6n9pyyB4
https://xrpscan.com/account/r9fXTUKc1u3qLgHeiDktXJXkAuwE2srgQ8

And that second link (r9f...) has since moved all the funds to yet another address. You can follow the chaining through there.

Any thoughts or recommendations on next steps would be greatly appreciated.
