How do I counter and recover stolen money from an online scam?

It must be real frustrating and upsetting to preyed on by scammers,  it’s almost impossible to counter these frauds because some of them are very convincing. But you can do well to protect your identity by keeping confidential information strictly off the internet to prevent being targeted by these scums. In the case of victims who have fallen for their schemes, don’t be hard on yourself as there are some steps you can take to recover your lost money, depending on how you paid the scammer. According to sources some of these steps are:

• Confront the people responsible and ask for a refund.
• Keep all records and paperwork of the transaction.
• File a police report and a complaint with the FTC.
• File for civil legal action (sue them) if possible.
• Use a recovery company that specializes in helping scam victims (Hackerone.io)

You should also contact the company or bank that you used to send the money and ask them to reverse the transaction if possible. For example, if you paid with a credit card, debit card, gift card, wire transfer, money transfer app, or cryptocurrency, you should contact the issuer or provider of those payment methods and report the fraud.

If you gave the scammer your personal information or access to your computer or phone, you should also take steps to protect your identity and accounts. You should change your passwords, check your credit reports, and monitor your financial statements for any unauthorized charges or changes.
