Lost my ETH after connecting to a fake 'Uniswap clone' site on Base network, wallet drained. Any hope?
Hey everyone, feeling pretty stupid right now. I was trying to bridge some ETH to the Base network for better yields I saw advertised on Twitter, I clicked what I thought was a legitimate Uniswap link (it looked identical, but the URL was slightly off, like `app.unlswap.org` or something subtle like that, I only noticed later). My MetaMask was connected, and I tried to approve a transaction for a small amount of ETH. Next thing I know, my entire wallet, about 3.5 ETH, was drained in minutes. It happened late last night, around 2 AM here in Berlin.
I checked Etherscan and saw the transactions going out, they went to some fresh wallet addresses. I've disconnected everything and reported it to MetaMask, but they said they can't reverse transactions. Is there *anything* at all that can be done? I'm just gutted, that was a significant chunk of my savings.
