Got scammed 20k with buying crypto for them to invest it for me

hi, I got scammed recently 20k from falling for a scam. At first they asked for little money then eventually kept asking for more for each “step” and it soon turned into a lot of money. I carried on thinking I can’t give up now because I’ve already lost a lot and I would miss out on the return they promised.

the bank I bought bitcoin with won’t do anything because it’s not a proper bank but I transferred money from my main bank to that one. I was wondering if my main bank would be able to help refund the money I’ve been scammed? And what should I say when I call them. Really stressed and worried about the amount of money I’ve lost and currently got no income because this is the money I got from a house sale and lost my benefits due to it being over 16k

Mine too, just saying why yours had probably been hidden!

I think I've worked it out. If you refer to a certain poster with the letters T E.M U in their name it seems to get an auto block.
