I have been scammed on instagram. Scammer is going by instagram name ‘collins_nate_fx’ they are impersonating a genuine trader from the UK.
I had contact with this person on instagram and then WhatsApp, I have traced the phone number back to the Netherlands.
They have used bitcoin.com (the app on iPhone) to make the scam. I deposited funds into there, I thought I was transferring into my own trading account, but the funds was clearly going to them. I have contacted bitcoin.com & moonpay, along with my bank, and they cannot recover the funds. Bitcoin & moonpay have been no help. But surely they must know where the funds have gone??
Website used - primexbtoptions.com
I did my research but signing up, and when you Google ‘prime xbt’ there is a genuine trading website by this name, so they are impersonating this website, which has good reviews etc, which is why I went ahead. When you Google ‘prime xbt options’ that website doesn’t come up, only when you put the actual web address can you find it. Please be careful!!
Mobile number being used for the scam - 07441453622

Can anyone help with recovering my funds??
Thanks
