Has anyone used Nethertrace for a cryptocurrency phishing scam?
Hi everyone, I'm Hannah. I'm feeling sick to my stomach after accidentally giving my seed phrase away in what turned out to be a really convincing phishing scam. Lost a significant amount of ETH and some other altcoins from my MetaMask wallet. Just devastated, honestly. I've been doing some research and came across [Nethertrace](https://nethertrace.co) as a potential recovery firm. Their process seems quite thorough from what I've read – they talk about blockchain forensics and working with exchanges. But after being scammed once, I'm incredibly wary. Has anyone here actually used Nethertrace for a similar situation, like losing funds due to a phishing attack? What was your experience like? Did they manage to trace your funds, and was it a legitimate process? Any advice or shared experiences would be so helpful right now. I'm based in Bloemfontein, by the way.
Has anyone used Nethertrace for a crypto wallet compromise (smart contract drain)?
Feeling pretty gutted right now. My MetaMask wallet got drained last week, totally wiped out. I think it was one of those 'smart contract drains' where some malicious approval I signed enabled them to take everything. It was a decent amount, low five figures for me, which is a life-changing sum. I've been doing some research online and seeing a lot of mixed info about crypto recovery. I stumbled upon `Nethertrace` and they seem to have a pretty professional approach, at least from their website. I filled out their free consultation form, and they actually got back to me pretty quickly with some questions about my transaction history. I was wondering if anyone here has engaged [Nethertrace](https://nethertrace.co) specifically for a wallet compromise or a smart contract drain scam? What was your experience like? Did they manage to trace your funds, and if so, how transparent were they with the process? Just trying to figure out if it's worth pursuing this, as I'm wary of throwing good money after bad.
