<p>I was cheated by ebankbtc.com, which gave me this address: 1QiCsWaZxvNy4hXZMvQJEBcnVm5KH3fK5</p>

<p>You can see the transaction here: 
<a href="https://blockchain.info/tx/e22206dcf27249afa6576443b3953b11ae43c04050c9e663a64f61ea320a7a4f" rel="nofollow">https://blockchain.info/tx/e22206dcf27249afa6576443b3953b11ae43c04050c9e663a64f61ea320a7a4f</a></p>

<p>So, I lost my own Bitcoin. </p>

<p>What can I do about it?</p>

The transaction you reference doesn't seem to involve the address you gave. Can you provide more details?

If the receiving party is not co-operating you cannot enforce them to return the payment.

In this case it is recommended to take the case to your local police and make a crime report of fraud. Most civilized countries have courts which can enforce the fraudster to repay the stolen property.

However getting anything back is unlikely if you were scammed in Internet. as most likely the culprint is in another country.
