-snip- Unfortunately I have lost a significant amount of money to these individuals who claimed they could recover my funds from a fraudulent online trading platform. I have learned a hard lesson from all of this.
Ah, this is what all of those threads are about.
Such service couldn't exist, anyone who claimed that they can recover from scam are also scams.
(
so next time, there's no point in asking if it's a scam)
Rule of thumb is: Confirmed Bitcoin transactions are permanent, there's no way to recover it from the recipient without gaining access to their wallet/private keys.
