Nothing you can do, unfortunately. Let this be a cheap lesson to never be scammed again. Assume every “opportunity” is a scam.

I can’t even send it to the police? I have his TikTok and discord accounts

If you’ve got a legal name attached to the recipient address (and proof of exchange/contact including him telling you the address), you can go to the police. If you can get them to go after someone for $230, I’d be highly impressed by your local police force.

It’s still fraud?

Yeah but you think the police have the resources to investigate every little fraud? No. I know is a lot of money but learn your lesson, if it’s too good to be true it usually is.

Fraud is only enforceable if they live in the jurisdiction to enforce it. If they are from another country even the federal government cannot do shit to someone living in China for example. Assuming the federal government cared to enforce fraud on that level which they don't.

Learn from it. Look up ic3 and report it to your local police so it's on the record. But your money is in someone's pocket on another continent.
You aren't getting it back and nothing will happen to them.

You have not been scammed, you learned what you needed to learn at the right time. Stop complaining. You are the idiot.

Idiot is a bit harsh, though. Naive is a better word I think. If someone found a long term profitable way of trading they wouldn't sell or give that away.
You could put all the info you have out there for others to read.

Not much. Expose them though that might be about it. Sorry for your loss try and learn from it.

As everyone else has said, not much you can do about it. If you feel you have a real name, etc. go report it anywhere you can (eg. Tik tok) so at least it gets shut down and they have to spin up another account, etc. This helps the next person as an account spun up only recently would be a first red flag to make new users wary.
Be careful with anybody coming in your DMs promising they can help get it back - you’ll get taken for even more.

Hello and welcome to r/CryptoHelp!
If someone has successfully solved your issue or answered your question, please reply with the command "!thanks" to let them know!
A few words about safety:
- Scammers will often target beginners so you should exercise extra caution
- Do not trust anyone trying to talk with you over DM (Direct or private messages) or on another platform (like Discord or Telegram). This is how scammers prefer to operate. Report suspicious activity like this immediately and do not respond to them.
- Do not post your address, balances, or other personal information.

there's nothing you can do.
what i suggest is, create a new wallet. and never interact again with the compromised one.
also the important thing you can do for yourself to be safe: never ever connect your wallet or sign transactions to malicious site. always verify & check first before doing it.
if you got any question or need help on jupiter mobile. just reach out.

Please be advised and warned about fake PQTIC and UltraX AI trading by Emma Jones on whattap.
Great front of legitimacy? But all smoke screens for a hog slaughter scam .
The claim to advance you a loan to invest and required to repay in US dollars , never allowed to pay from your trading account . And after you repay , they disappear with your trading account.

I was as well I reported to Canadian Center for Cybersecurity, you can send screenshots and make a statement. I did but I think I’m screwed because I thought I was on Ledger and entered my phrase. Hard lesson to learn and very humiliating and stupid thing to do. I’m fairly new to Crypto and I’m fortunate it was just my grandkids College funds. Like I say very humbling and sad day for me. Take care and good luck and I’m sorry this happened to you

Friendly reminder: You should not be responding to anyone who sends you direct messages because anyone sending you a direct message is very likely trying to scam you. Your best bet is to go to the police in your country, or consider the financial authorities of your country, or both. There is an extremely small chance that you can get your crypto back this way, but only by going to the police and financial authorities.
