My Binance account was locked after I clicked a 'security alert' link, did I just get phished?
Feeling absolutely sick to my stomach right now. I got an email, looked super legit, said it was from Binance about 'unusual login activity' and that I needed to verify my account immediately. It had the Binance logo, all the right branding, everything. I panicked, saw the 'click here to secure your account' button and just... clicked it. Went to what looked like a Binance login page, entered my info, then it just refreshed. Felt weird almost instantly. Tried to log into my *real* Binance app a few minutes later and boom – password incorrect. Tried again, then my account showed as locked. I contacted Binance support, and they're doing their security checks, but it's radio silence basically. I had a decent chunk of ETH and some USDT in there, nothing crazy, but it was money I really couldn't afford to lose. I'm wondering if this was a phishing scam and if my crypto is gone for good. Has anyone else experienced this with Binance or similar exchanges? What are my options here? Do I even have any options?
My Trust Wallet was drained after clicking a fake Binance email link, is my crypto gone?
I'm so upset right now, I don't even know where to start. I received an email that looked super legit from Binance yesterday afternoon, saying my account had some suspicious activity and I needed to verify immediately. I clicked the link, logged in with my Trust Wallet (I use it for most of my crypto) and it just... spun for a bit. I didn't think much of it until this morning when I woke up and checked my wallet – literally everything is gone. My ETH, USDT, some BNB, all of it. The transactions are there on Etherscan, shows it went out pretty much immediately after I clicked. I feel so dumb. Is there *any* way to get it back? I've reported it to Binance but they said they can't do anything about transactions from an external wallet. Please, any advice helps. This was a significant amount for me.
