Lost my crypto to a fake BitForex site after linking my Trust Wallet, is it gone?
Feeling like such an idiot right now, honestly. I was trying to deposit some of my altcoins onto BitForex, which I've used before, but I must've clicked on a sponsored ad or something. The site looked EXACTLY like BitForex, same logo, everything. I connected my Trust Wallet, approved the transaction, and thought nothing of it until I went to check my balance a few hours later. Everything was gone, literally everything. I'm talking about a decent amount, enough to really hurt. i checked the URL and it was something like `bitforex.exchange-official.com` or some spoofed nonsense. I immediately disconnected my wallet, changed all my passwords, and have been looking for ways to recover my funds. I filed a report with my local police but they just looked at me blankly. Is there anything at all I can do here? Has anyone recovered funds from something like this? I can't believe I fell for it.
