Crypto 'wallet drainer' after fake 'learn to trade' webinar, can I get my tokens back?
i'm kicking myself so hard right now. i saw an ad on facebook, seemed legit, for a 'free crypto trading masterclass' webinar. it was actually quite convincing, they had professional-looking slides, talking about market analysis and everything. at the end, they said they'd share 'premium indicators' if we connected our wallet to their 'secure dashboard' via a QR code. i was on a roll, feeling smart after the webinar, and just scanned it with my Trust Wallet.
boom. literally minutes later, my entire balance, mostly ETH and some Link tokens, was gone. like, completely wiped out. i checked the address it went to on Etherscan and it's some fresh wallet with a bunch of other transactions. i feel so stupid. i filed a police report here in Liverpool but they just gave me a crime number. is there *any* way to track this or get my crypto back? i just can't believe i fell for something so obvious.
