There is no way that BitQT would give you back your money because they work with third parties and broker partners that actually keep the funds. Yet, do not give up still, because there may still be a chance of getting those funds back.  Do your research and find out which broker BitQT connected you to. Contact the broker and tell them that you want to request a refund. Explain the entire situation and mention that you have fallen victim to the BitQT scam. There might be a chance that the broker won’t respond, which is why you should mention that you would raise a complaint with the financial regulators.  Alternatively, contact someone from your bank and request a chargeback (provided that you have used a payment card). Note that it will be a bit hard to reverse a bank transfer but you should still try.  If you use Wire Transfer or PayPal, contact them via email, explain that you were scammed, and hope for the best. Finally, if nothing helps, you can try with financial regulators in your country or the ones in the country where your broker had registered their office.
