We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. As a “technician” who has been reasonably notified about cryptocurrency, I agree that you will rarely collect money.
Some information about Bitcoin and online scams
Technically, it’s not hopeless. You recover (some) money and rest on this series of events:
- that’s right Not perfect It is impossible for the perpetrator to be identified. In particular, if it is possible to establish that there are many victims, we will ensure appropriate investigative resources.
- If they are ultimately identified, they may be charged (I don’t think it’s likely in some jurisdictions, in other jurisdictions).
- If they are charged and found guilty, there is a chance that a portion of your money will be returned to you (probably not). Again, it probably depends on jurisdiction, but it also depends heavily on how much money you can squeeze out of them compared to the number of victims.
How to identify a PERP?
- It’s a mistake that Bitcoin transactions can’t be “tracked.” For example, there has been a recent global bust related to child exploitation.
- Even if we can’t track today, I think in the next 10 or 2 years, public resources could easily track more and more important Bitcoin addresses. Not working today may guarantee follow-up after a few years. Especially for large accounts
- Information other than Bitcoin addresses is also useful. They must have had a website, an email address. These details may help you find the perpetrator in some cases. It’s certainly possible to “cover the truck,” but not everyone does this and does it right.
What you can do
Collect all raw information (all emails, date and time, phone number, or Bitcoin ATM where you can enter your call log, cash or other currency exchange details). All that raw data will be taken to law enforcement. Maybe try different branches of law enforcement. Maybe try to find ways to connect with other victims and make your case more important (you’ll need to sign a knowledgeable programmer to try this).
Professional money recovery?
Apparently there are specialised employment services for this. Some of them seem to imply that you won’t charge unless you succeed. We recommend spending a little time browsing Google search results like these. know there is nothing About these.
Obviously, some of these can be tricky (but legitimate) or completely fraudulent, so be very careful. Some of these may be built ironically on the theory that those who fell for fraud should easily commit fraud once again. But you can find a good looking service and find some way to validate it as reliable (someone might help you), and it may be worth trying Not there.
In my opinion These services are not necessarily fraudulent in theory.. (What about the recommendations?)
Conclusion
This is probably a lot of work, and it may increase the amount of money invested and perhaps less likely to succeed. But considering how ignorant most people are about Bitcoin and online scams in general, I wanted to weigh them. If you have time and will, I think you deserve to be able to consider all your options.
