Thank you for reporting this.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing that can be done directly at the blockchain level, apart from gathering publicly available data, after all, Hive is an open and fully transparent ledger. Its role here is merely that of a transport layer, which happens to be attractive to scammers because it requires no transaction fees, offers very fast (semi-instant) confirmations, and uses human-readable “vanity addresses” at the base layer. Sadly, these features (despite being awesome for all users) can make social engineering attacks easier.
As a victim, the only effective course of action you can take, and something none of us can do (as we are not a party to the proceedings) is to involve law enforcement. That’s the only way to potentially identify the real individuals behind the scam.
Law enforcement may be able to trace funds through KYC/AML-compliant exchanges and obtain records that could lead to real identities - assuming the funds eventually pass through a regulated fiat off-ramp (i.e. cryptocurrency to fiat gateways).
