Apparently Before I knew I purchased USDT from Binance and transferred to trade exchange, which turns out to be fake because they are asking for more and more deposits before i withdraw profits. If legal authorities are involved with complaint, can Binance recover the funds?
Fake trade exchange – vitcoin.vip

I am from India and has around 18000 usdt stuck.

Edit – Contacted Binance support. They said they wont be able to freeze the counter accounts as they are not on the Binance. So they would not be able to help.

    Sorry for you mate but you should know better than to send your money to wallets that you are not 200% sure to be legit.
    Binance can’t and won’t do anything, the funds are not at their custody so there is nothing Binance can do.
    Your only hope is to take legal action and then, there is a remote hypothesis to, maybe some day get your money back if scammers get caught.

    Hello there!

    Cryptocurrencies, unfortunately, attract many scammers. People look to exploit other users and take their crypto, and once the funds are stolen, there is usually no way of getting them back. Scammers abuse the anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies and the fact that many users directly control large amounts of funds.
    You should always be vigilant and never send money to users, platforms/wallets you don’t know. You should also always check the identity carefully of anyone you do send money to.

    Tether.to can freeze the usdt. You should contact them. However, I believe you need a police report and that the police needs to contact them. In any case, contact them yourself as well and see what you can do.

    It will be very difficult for you to recover that money, but contact binance directly as they directed and let s see how it goes.

    dont answer DMs – 99% are scammers

    lookup the address you sent to on google. also look it up on the blockchain, trace where the scammer sent the usdt after receiving from you

    if the scammer sent the funds to Binance or another exchange (check for wallet address names on blockchain explorers, or very huge balances in wallets), you could contact that exchange with this information, after checking (they may ask for police complaint) they can freeze the scammers funds

    I hope you will get your 18000 usdt back

    I sympathize with you, but you need to check before you transferred 18k usdt.

    If you take money out of your bank account and send your money to a shady site can your bank retrieve it for you? The answer is no, once you withdraw your funds you are solely responsible for what happens.

    Binance is not going to spend money or man power retrieving your money. Binance is at 0 fault here
