I agree with you. I will not take the money back now. Until we get a clear solution to this problem. I have some personal questions
1. Why a person can use LDL wallet address to damage their reputation. Where $40 is a large amount. And no scammer wants to miss out. So I don't think any way a scammer would send $40 to someone else's address. I want a clear explanation of this. Because if we ignore it as a simple problem, someone else may face a bigger financial loss in the future
2. Why is LDL only excited to return btc without explaining anything here. and he seems to think it's a common thing
You could have established the fact that its topman if you only send him a confirmation message account here, this is the established procedure to check if the one you are talking to on telegram is the right guy on the forum, but unfortunately, you missed it and you failed to establish the connection.
You just take the fund move on and learn from this this is all you want to get your money back aren't you asking for help?
