I'm really devastated! I was scammed by someone from my hometown, 20,000 USD, he promised to help me invest, but then he just disappeared, not replying to messages, not answering calls, now I can't find him at all.
All I have is his wallet address, some chat logs, and our previous transaction records. Is there any way to recover from this situation? Is there anyone knowledgeable who can give some advice? I really can't accept this!
Help!

Curious how it was tricked

Brother, be realistic, the 20,000 yuan is already gone. The important thing is not to be scammed again in the future. Treat anyone familiar who brings up investments as a scammer, and don't expect freebies to fall from the sky. The lesson is costly, once is enough.
This kind of scam is too common, and acquaintances are even more ruthless. My friend also trusted someone from the same hometown before, and ended up having a sum of money swindled with no recourse at all, not even reporting to the police was useful... You can really only chalk it up to bad luck.
Alas, I blame my own greed.
It's hard enough to recover from a wrong transfer, let alone deliberate fraud. Call the police.
On Zhihu, there are solutions; you can search for it, as links cannot be posted here.
Thank you
You were deceived and want to recover losses, the key is to find the scammer themselves.
If I could find it, I wouldn't be asking for help.
It's so pitiful, reporting to the police is useless in this case.
According to the Civil Code, virtual currency can be considered as virtual assets and is protected by law, as long as the reasons for filing the case and the method of communication are appropriate, then the case can be successfully filed.

It is highly likely that he is using a cold wallet, and he also uses a mixer for cross-chain transactions with X coin.
How to tell if it is a cold wallet
Reply PASA#840006 : Copy his address into CHATGPT, it can analyze it.

How should I put it, be more cautious in the future.
Some teams specializing in on-chain analysis can help track the flow of funds, but 20,000 might not be enough to get it done.
Chasing the payment is very difficult, and it's basically unlikely to get it back.
You can try contacting the exchange's customer service to see if you can appeal to freeze his account.
If you have his wallet address, I suggest checking the fund flow on Tronscan or Etherscan to see where he transferred the money. If it's still in the exchange, there might be a possibility to freeze it.
Good
Condolences
You've basically been scammed.
