The internet is a wonderful tool, but it can also be a breeding ground for scammers looking to take advantage of vulnerable individuals. Unfortunately, many fall prey to these schemes without realizing what’s happening until it’s too late. In this context, a recent post on a Canadian forum is worth exploring, where a person asks whether they can recover funds they lost in a Bitcoin scam. First, it’s important to highlight that scams come in many forms, and anyone can fall victim. In this case, the victim offers some hope, as the scam involves Bitcoin, which is trackable to some extent. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on the blockchain, which is a public ledger that keeps track of all transactions that have ever occurred within the network.

Exchanges and wallets are also often required to verify user identities, making it easier for law enforcement to investigate.
