My savings were drained after approving a transaction for a 'liquidity pool' via a Telegram group — is it gone?
Honestly, I feel so stupid right now. I met this guy on Telegram, he was really nice, seemed super knowledgeable about crypto. He convinced me there was a 'special opportunity' to earn high returns by putting my USDT into a liquidity pool on some obscure DEX. He even sent me a link and walked me through connecting my Trust Wallet and approving the transaction. Said it was essential for the 'mining' process. Less than an hour later, my whole wallet, everything, was gone. Not just the USDT I put in, but my ETH and some other altcoins too. The guy's Telegram account is deleted and the 'DEX' website is now a dead link. I'm in bits, this was years of savings. I've reported it to the local police here in Cork, but they looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. Is there *any* chance of getting this back? I'm desperate.
Wallet drained after sending crypto to 'liquidity pool' via spoofed phishing link, any recovery hope?
Okay, so I feel like such an idiot. I was looking for ways to earn some passive income on my crypto and found this Telegram group promising high APY from a 'liquidity pool' on a new DeFi platform. They sent me a link, it looked totally legit, like a sleek new exchange. I connected my MetaMask wallet and sent a good chunk of ETH – like, a few grand, maybe four or five figures – to what I thought was their liquidity pool address. Immediately after confirming the transaction, my entire wallet was drained, not just the ETH I sent but everything else too. I checked the transaction on Etherscan and it went to a different address than the one I copied. It just disappeared. I'm in Seattle, this happened late last night. Is there literally *any* chance of getting this back? I've heard about Chainalysis and stuff, but how does that even work for individuals? I'm completely devastated.
