Wallet drained after signing what seemed like a routine Metamask transaction – is there any hope?
hi everyone, feeling pretty low right now. i usually consider myself pretty careful but i think i messed up big time. i was trying to claim some airdrop for a new token i'd heard about, something pretty small, maybe 100 bucks worth. the website looked fine, i connected my MetaMask wallet, and then it asked me to sign a transaction. it looked like a normal sign request, not a huge gas fee or anything. i didn't think much of it, just clicked approve. next thing i know, like 10 minutes later, my entire wallet is GONE. all my ETH, my USDC, even the little bit of MATIC i had for gas. it was about 8.5k EUR in total. i checked Etherscan and saw a bunch of 'approve' transactions and then transfers to an address i don't recognize. i feel like such an idiot. i've heard about wallet drainers but always thought it wouldn't happen to me. is there *any* way to reverse this? or track it? i'm in Montpellier, my bank (Crédit Agricole) said they can't do anything because it's crypto. any advice is appreciated.
Lost ETH and USDC from my Metamask after using a 'web wallet' that looked exactly like ZG.com – any chance?
Hi everyone, I'm feeling really stupid right now but desperate for any advice. I was trying to withdraw some crypto from this site I was using that looked just like ZG.com – you know, the orange and white one? I'd been trading small amounts for a while, like a few weeks, and it seemed legit. Anyway, when I tried to withdraw, it said my main wallet needed to be 'verified' by connecting to a web wallet. The link they gave opened a page that looked *exactly* like a Metamask connect screen, asking for my seed phrase. I know, I know, instant red flag, but I was so tired and stressed from a long week, and the site had been fine before... I put in my phrase. Instantly, my ETH and USDC from my actual Metamask (the one on my browser extension) were gone. Poof. Like, within seconds. Checked Etherscan, and it all went to some new address. I only had about 4k EUR in there, but it's a huge hit for me. Is there anything at all I can do? I reported it to the local police here in Leipzig, but they just looked blank. Should I contact Chainalysis or something? Or is it just gone forever?
