Lost my crypto after a 'customer support' remote access scam – any hope of getting it back?
Hey everyone, feeling pretty stupid right now. I received an email, looked super legitimate, supposedly from Coinbase support. It said there was suspicious activity on my account and I needed to verify my identity urgently. I clicked the link, it led to a site that looked *exactly* like Coinbase. Then it prompted me to download a 'secure remote access tool' so they could 'investigate'. Like an idiot, I installed it. Within minutes, my whole crypto balance, about 8k USD in ETH and some BTC, was gone from my Coinbase account. I was just watching my screen, helpless. I tried contacting actual Coinbase support but they just gave me the standard 'we can't reverse transactions' spiel. Is there *any* chance of getting this back? Or am i just out of luck for being so gullible?
