Hi Justin,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry to hear about your significant loss to Biteq.net. Scams like these are devastating, and the tactics they use are both sophisticated and cruel.

Here are some steps you can take to address the situation:

1. Document Everything: Gather all evidence related to the scam, including emails, messages, transaction IDs, and screenshots of your interactions with Biteq.net. This documentation will be essential for reporting the scam and seeking assistance.

2. Report the Scam:

• Local Authorities: File a report with your local law enforcement agency.
• Regulatory Bodies: Report the scam to financial regulators or anti-fraud agencies in your country. For example, in the US, contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
• Crypto Platforms: If you sent the funds via an exchange or wallet service, report the fraudulent transaction to them as well. Some platforms have measures to assist with tracing stolen funds.

3. Seek Crypto Tracing Assistance: Services like CNC Intelligence specialize in tracing cryptocurrency transactions and collaborating with law enforcement. While recovery cannot be guaranteed, identifying the scammers and their network can be a critical step.

4. Avoid Further Contact: Do not communicate with Biteq.net or respond to their demands. Scammers often exploit victims further by offering false hope of recovery in exchange for additional payments.

5. Raise Awareness: By sharing your story, as you have done here, you can help prevent others from falling victim to Biteq.net. Your contribution is invaluable to the community.

If you have more details about the transactions or the receiving addresses used, feel free to share them here or via private message. We’ll add this information to our scam database to aid future investigations and protect others.

You’re not alone in this fight, Justin. The community at ScamCrypto.net is here to support you.
