Just because someone wears a police uniform doesn't mean that he is policeman, and just because someone is policeman doesn't mean that he won't rob you. Just the other day a big group of scammers was arrested in Croatia that pretended to be police in order to trick elderly that were their main targets.
Yeah I know there's still a chance a real policeman can become a criminal, but it wouldn't last long if you have a proof if he rob your money because he have giving a lot personal information to the police station when he was applying to become a police.
Okay, how do I know that person is a policeman or not? If you don't follow their orders, they'll punish you and if you follow, there is a chance that they are actually criminals.
In that case, government should pay for every damage that victim has faced by fake policeman because if the government has the problem where some people can get police uniform, guns, police car and move in the streets, definitely this country is not doing well.
Every police have their own identity number which can be verified using an application, if he refused to do that, it's obviously a criminal. The thing is a tourist wouldn't really understand about it and he might just trust whatever the local citizen is saying e.g. the fake policeman show a fake ID.
AFAIK there's no law in Indonesia they will recover the losses from a fake policeman or any other crime, especially this is about Bitcoin, not in bank account.
it's really bad luck if the victim can't recover the losses he's experienced, his intention to go on vacation actually ends in a loss.
I was just wondering, in your signature you quote ' help the victim scammed by Cold Key '
Can you give details about this?
Also, as per the news story... I think the Russian should have had a wallet with a passphrase... the passphrase would lead to a secondary wallet that would have only a small amount
