I've just been scammed $200 and I feel terrible

So I feel terrible because I just got scammed $200 from a Bitcoin scam. I never post on reddit but I felt like I should this time just in case it stops anyone else falling for this trick. I'll post all the screen shots as well just so it's easier to understand. Basically a guy called 'Bitmex Lightning Signals on Instagram 'who had hundreds of followers btw' had a free telegram signals channel which I joined, the last message in the channel was a post about advertising for 3 jobs that he had available. He basically just wanted people to help out his channel and answer questions that people may have he said he would pay $850 a week. Now I can't believe I fell for this but being a uni student and being pretty broke I thought wow what an opportunity, I get to work in crypto and get paid a really good salary for it. He seemed very legit he had posts going back a good few weeks. So I messaged him said I was interested an replied saying great I'll start you off with a weeks trial and see how you get on. However this is the scammy bit he said in order to join and get the links for everything I would have to join his VIP service which is 0.005 BTC. So foolishly I agree and sent 0.00577 BTC to him for the amount plus the fees. Again he seemed very legit he was asking me how I want to be paid and if I knew about erp systems and what my Instagram name was. But as soon as the BTC went through he blocked me on everything and has yet to reply to me. I know this wasn't a load of money and I bet some of you make this of 1 trade but it's a lot of money to me and I feel terrible that this guy managed to scam me. If anyone has seen this guy before let me know I wish I had screenshotted his insta page and his telegram group so I could show you all. Be careful out there guys I didn't think I'd ever fall for something like this but here I am. ​ https://preview.redd.it/5i3bg3pvze971.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=567b69c2ac385ffa2647797096a5a1dccf839e2d ​ https://preview.redd.it/l35i356wze971.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=dffb322bd1b4628309520b8f4b39830f6983562b ​ https://preview.redd.it/t7lrwdkwze971.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b2229bf13dc87e69d235b8686c5ad2410def1a5 ​ https://preview.redd.it/5apixyxwze971.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba63be9d8efa8a11da5cdb214075b1e2b8f8ac42 ​ https://preview.redd.it/u0ilehaxze971.jpg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=971c736df251dc84e3e38775322519aad940f006 ​ https://preview.redd.it/g9em81mxze971.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=478ea049f180f986a8629d67d8a2502e94889e88 ​ https://preview.redd.it/d9fr070yze971.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=a047276c5b80836884212c2e9922d57e1b45b901 ​ https://preview.redd.it/p6mq07fyze971.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=69d4b2308d77e87fe72da4e7f2208d691d4f12b7 submitted by /u/Shellywig [link] [comments]
