Hey there, welcome to our community! BitShares is an industrial-grade decentralized platform built for high-performance financial technologies and smart contracts. BitShares is also the first blockchain-powered decentralized autonomous organization that allows those who stake its core token BTS to decide on the chain's future development. Regarding your lost transactions, I'm sorry to inform you that you've been conned. Hopefully, it wasn't a significant amount of value. It's unfortunate, but many new users in the blockchain world experience this. Sadly, you won't be able to recover your money. There is no technical or legal solution for this situation. You have fallen victim to social engineering, most likely by a gang located overseas. However, since you're here now, let's focus on making the best out of it. Here's what we can do: firstly, ensure that you avoid centralized exchanges in the future and never trust unvetted individuals you meet on Telegram. Instead, try trading on the BitShares blockchain. We have decentralized order books and liquidity pools, making it a safer and more secure way to trade. Additionally, you can even stake your assets and reliably earn! BitShares has many other cutting edge financial technologies you can learn about and utilize for your personal and business finances. If you have any questions or need more information about BitShares, don't hesitate to ask. We have some highly knowledgeable admins in this chatroom who can guide and assist you in getting started.
