There are a few tips to keep in mind that can help you in the future:
Always check carefully who you are sending money to. If it is a company, make sure the person is really connected to the company by contacting the entity directly.
Be critical. Does it seem too good to be true? Then it probably is. Also, Coinmerce does not offer payment services and only you should be the recipient of the cryptocurrency.
Don't rely on a transaction that sends you to a third-party website or service.
Do not trust individuals who contact you and promise you unrealistic returns on investments.
Google designed a good test to see if you recognise phishing emails, take it and increase your knowledge!
