Wallet drained after connecting to a 'pre-sale' site for a new memecoin, is it recoverable?
Was scrolling through Twitter (oops, X now lol) last week and saw this project for a new memecoin getting a ton of hype. Looked pretty legit, they had a decent-looking website, roadmap, big follower counts, all that jazz. They were advertising a 'pre-sale' where you could get in super early before it hit exchanges. I connected my MetaMask, approved a transaction to swap some ETH for their token, and boom, my wallet was drained, not just the ETH I tried to swap – literally everything. All my WETH, some USDC, even a bit of MATIC from a few months back. I feel like such an idiot. I've heard about these direct wallet drainer contract scams but never thought I'd fall for one. Is there *any* way to trace this or get my tokens back? I'm heartbroken, it was a significant amount for me.
