It is
impossible to reverse crypto transactions. It is also impossible to take back a secret after you’ve leaked it. It’s important to remember this because there is an entire cottage industry praying on victims with false promises to return your money. Google is happy to let these fake recovery services advertise my fraudulent services even as it (*sigh*) blocks mine.
However, the scammers are usually only interested in your big-time coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. If you have NFT’s or locked-up investments, you can still take steps to recover them.
Here is the problem you must overcome: cybercriminals are professional organizations, and they use tools such as sweeper bots, which monitor all the addresses they hacked and immediately sweep anything you deposit to their own wallet. This makes it impossible for you to move your NFT’s, locked-up assets, or collect income-paying investments.
Here is what you can do in response:
1: Run a burn bot:
A burn bot is just a loop that checks the blockchain every few seconds and immediately spends anything deposited to it. This denies the scammers access to your stolen crypto wallet.
2: Send your transactions directly to miners:
Once your burn bot is running, you can take the time to sweep your NFT’s, locked-up assets, or collect income-paying investments. This is done by (1) having the transaction come from a third-party account, and (2) sending the transaction directly to the miners, bypassing the queue that miners normally accept transactions from.
I wish I could tell you exactly how this works, but the scammers are reading this too, and I don’t want to make it too easy for them to do the same thing. (I know this, because they’ve sent me angry messages when I’ve done this for their victims.). Suffice it to say, this can be done on any Ethereum-compatible network.
