Bitcoin scam

Screamadelica118

Hi, I’ve been scammed with a Bitcoin investment, anybody had this experience? I’ve been told there is a possibility I could get 95% of my money back, not sure if they are genuine, could anybody recommend a company please?  Funds-recovery.com are the ones that say they can help.  Many Thanks

 Scam, you will get nothing back

It is very common to find after you have been scammed to find yourself on a mugs list.  You are easy game. So, they come back for seconds and thirds.   Being scammed out of the money is the first scam.    The being cold called by a company claiming they can get your money back (usually followed by you needing to pay them something up front).

Think about it logically.  Who is going to pay you this money back?    The scammer isnt.

I wasn’t cold called though, I looked online to see if it was possible and spoke to this company. They said nobody can get the money back from the scammer but from the Bitcoin company as they have a duty of care

I don’t think I’ll ever be convinced otherwise that Bitcoin isn’t one *huge* scam/ponzi scheme.

The bitcoin will have been sold and moved on many times since, no-one will get the money back. Put it down to a mistake and move on, you won't see it again.

I am being persistently plagued with Bitcoin emails with Martin Lewis’s photo so I know they are scammers. I’ve tried blocking them, deleting all emails from them including trash but still they persist on a daily basis. Is there anything I can do to stop them?

Depending on your email provider, try setting up a spam filter with appropriate keywords.

Think about it logically, Bitcoin is a type of currency. When someone gets scammed using regular money, do they try to claim it back from the Bank of England who issued the money as they had a "duty of care" not to let the scammer take your pile of £20 notes?

I'll give you a quick opinion and search briefly if you want to pm the company name to me or whatever.   Dunston is about right on this, its not just crypto that idea is a common avenue.

Use gmail for online forms etc.   They use their search engine to weed out more then most places will
