My MetaMask was drained after connecting to a 'new DEX' – any chance of getting my ETH back?
Feeling totally gutted right now. I saw an ad on Twitter for what looked like a new decentralized exchange, promising really good returns on staking certain tokens. It looked legit, I mean, the UI was clean, good branding, seemed professional. I connected my MetaMask wallet, thinking I'd just explore a bit, maybe swap some small amount. But almost immediately after I connected, my ETH balance dropped to zero. Everything was just *gone*. My WETH too. I didn't even approve a transaction, just connected. I checked Etherscan and saw a bunch of outgoing transactions I definitely didn't initiate. Is there *any* way to get it back? This was a significant portion of my savings, and I'm freaking out.
My MetaMask was drained after a supposed 'security update' prompt, is there any way to get my ETH back?
Hey everyone, feeling pretty low right now. Last night, I was just checking my crypto on my laptop, chilling in my apartment here in Paris, when I got this pop-up on my browser saying my MetaMask needed an urgent security update. It looked super legit, like the official MetaMask site, green padlock and everything. I clicked it, followed the instructions to 're-sync' my wallet – basically putting in my seed phrase. Didn't think twice, seemed like a normal procedure for an update, right? Then this morning, I logged back in and all my ETH is GONE. Like, zero. I had about 2.5 ETH in there, which is a significant chunk for me. I've checked Etherscan and I can see the transactions, it was all sent to some other address within minutes after I 'updated'. I feel so stupid. Is there seriously no way to get this back? Has anyone ever recovered funds after falling for something like this? I've reported it to MetaMask support but haven't heard anything useful back yet.
Anyone recovered crypto funds after a fake loan app scam with Nethertrace?
Hey everyone, I'm in a pretty rough spot. I fell for one of those fake loan app scams last month. You know, the kind where they approve a small loan, then say it's 'stuck' due to a 'tax' or 'insurance' fee, and you end up sending more and more crypto to 'unlock' it, but it never comes. I lost around 8k USD worth of ETH and USDT that way. I'm embarrassed and honestly, just gutted. I came across [Nethertrace](https://nethertrace.co) and they seem really professional, but after getting scammed once, I'm understandably hesitant to put my trust anywhere new. They've done an initial free consultation, and their approach sounds really sensible, focusing on tracing the funds and working with exchanges. Has anyone here had a positive experience recovering funds from a fake loan app scam specifically with Nethertrace? Just looking for some real-world feedback before I take the leap.
