Scammed on a Tradeshow! Trying to Get My $10K Back

[DanReazon]

Hey fellow community, I'm reaching out for some advice. I just got back from a crypto tradeshow and got hit with a phishing scam. Someone claimed to be a big player in the space and convinced me to invest $10k in a new project, but it turns out it's a total sham. Has anyone else ever dealt with this kind of situation?

Sorry to hear that, bro. Have you reached out to the local authorities or the organizer of the tradeshow to report the incident? Also, did you get any receipts or contracts signed for the sale?

Dude, that's a bummer. Was the tradeshow legit or a meetup organized on some obscure social media group? Maybe you should try reaching out to a crypto lawyer?

Thoughts on strategies?

Dude, I'm so sorry to hear that. Did you guys do any research on the company beforehand or was this a cold pitch? Hopefully, someone can share some info on how to report the scammers and try to get your money back

Dude, sorry to hear that, I've been to a few trade shows myself and know how easy it is to fall for the hype. Can you give us more info about the project and the people behind it, maybe there's a chance someone here can help you out or at least warn others about it. Also, did you file a complaint with the trade show organizers or the police?
