Lost my BTC after clicking a link in a fake CoinTracker email, is it gone for good?
Feeling totally gutted right now. I use CoinTracker to keep track of my crypto stuff for taxes, and I got an email last night that looked *exactly* like one of theirs. It said there was a 'security alert' and I needed to verify my wallet. I was tired, didn't think twice, and clicked the link. It took me to a site that looked just like CoinTracker, asked for my wallet seed phrase (idiot, I know, I know!), and I typed it in. Within minutes, my Bitcoin was gone. Just... gone. I saw the transaction on Etherscan, straight out of my wallet to some random address. I've reported it to my bank, but they said there's not much they can do since it's crypto. I feel so stupid. Is there any way at all to trace this or get it back? Please tell me there's something.
