To "The Guy That Got Scammed for 200k USDT", and other scam victims:

If you've recently been scammed and are trying to hustle the situation to get some money back, and part of that is by offering a bounty, I strongly suggest not posting the details on one of the world's largest crypto subreddits. Posting on a public forum about the fact that you can play act as decoy, or explaining/suggesting other routes of attack, isn't a solid strategy. Op-sec, yo. To be clear, you're posting publicly about: 1. Who they are / their crypto handles 2. How much you lost 3. That you're putting a bounty on them 4. That you can/will continue to interact with them under false pretenses to try to hustle them back. That means they know that you're talking about them, that you are the person they got for 200k, that you're putting a bounty on them, that you're working with law enforcement, and that any future times that you interact with them you will attempt to trick them. It's very possible that person has seen the bounty post, which means they know way too much already. I got it as a push notification because it was so popular. Instead, make a post saying you have a bounty and the amount, that you're looking for crypto sleuths or white hats, and let people contact you directly. Or seek support publicly, but don't discuss any of the details; such as who the person is, or other identifying information. All that does is harm your ability for restitution. Ask general questions / request general suggestions. Since you've been scammed and a public post like this on r/CC was the way you're going about trying to fix that, I strongly suggest taking some time away from crypto to consider how you interact with the crypto space, and with the internet on the whole, in terms of security. submitted by /u/llaatteennccyy [link] [comments]
