Lost my crypto to a spoofed NFT minting site – wallet drained. Any chance?
ugh, i'm so mad at myself. i saw this twitter ad for a 'new genesis NFT collection' that looked super legit, like, it was trending and everything. the link looked fine, went to what i thought was their official minting page. connected my Trust Wallet, approved the transaction to mint, and boom – not only did i not get an NFT, but my whole wallet was drained. all my ETH, some MATIC, literally gone in like 30 seconds. i know, i know, i should've been more careful. i checked Etherscan right after, and saw my funds go to some address that then sent it to another, then another... it was really fast. is there any actual way to undo this? or trace it for real? i've heard about 'recovery services' but they all sound like scams themselves. fwiw, this happened late last night, around 11:30 PM my time, total shock. my partner thinks i'm an idiot, lol.
Wallet drained after connecting to a 'Cloud Mining' DApp on my Trust Wallet – any hope?
Guys, I'm feeling sick about this. I was on YouTube, probably late at night, and saw an ad for some 'cloud mining' DApp that promised crazy daily returns, like 2% a day. I followed the link, it looked pretty legit, like similar defi sites I'd seen. It asked me to connect my Trust Wallet, which I did, without a second thought, tbh. I put in about 900 USD worth of TRX and USDT. It showed up in the DApp dashboard, everything looked fine for a couple of days, even saw some 'rewards' accumulate. But then today, I tried to check it, and my Trust Wallet balance was zero. Completely wiped out. Not just the mining funds, but my other coins too. Did I sign some malicious contract? Is there anything at all I can do? I'm in Al Ain, so not many local resources.
Lost my crypto to a fake BitForex site after linking my Trust Wallet, is it gone?
Feeling like such an idiot right now, honestly. I was trying to deposit some of my altcoins onto BitForex, which I've used before, but I must've clicked on a sponsored ad or something. The site looked EXACTLY like BitForex, same logo, everything. I connected my Trust Wallet, approved the transaction, and thought nothing of it until I went to check my balance a few hours later. Everything was gone, literally everything. I'm talking about a decent amount, enough to really hurt. i checked the URL and it was something like `bitforex.exchange-official.com` or some spoofed nonsense. I immediately disconnected my wallet, changed all my passwords, and have been looking for ways to recover my funds. I filed a report with my local police but they just looked at me blankly. Is there anything at all I can do here? Has anyone recovered funds from something like this? I can't believe I fell for it.
Wallet drained after connecting to a 'validator' site – is my crypto gone forever or can Etherscan help?
Okay, so I was trying to stake some ETH, you know? Saw a link on a Telegram group for a 'new validator node' opportunity. Looked kinda legit, the site had all these trust badges and stuff. Connected my Trust Wallet, approved what I *thought* was a staking contract, but then boom – my entire wallet zeroed out in literally seconds. Not just the ETH, everything, all my altcoins too. Felt like a total idiot. I saw the transactions go out on Etherscan, all to this one address. Is there any point in trying to trace it further? I'm in Groningen, feeling completely sick about this. Is there *any* way to get it back, or is it basically just gone for good?
Wallet drained after claiming "free airdrop" on a supposedly official site, am i totally scammed?
Guys, I feel so dumb. I saw a tweet, looked legit, about a "bonus airdrop" for Trust Wallet users. It linked to a site that honestly looked exactly like the Trust Wallet one, even had a similar kinda URL. I connected my wallet, like the idiots guide said to do, thinking I was getting some free coins for holding something. Next thing I know, maybe 15 minutes later, my entire wallet is gone. All my MATIC, my USDC, even a little bit of ETH I had for gas fees. It was like, about 3k USD worth. I know, I know, if it's too good to be true... but I panicked and clicked. Is there any actual way to trace this? Like, can ChainAbuse or something help? Or should I just give up on this money?
Lost my savings after giving remote access for 'wallet verification' – is it gone?
I'm so ashamed, I think I've really messed up this time. I was using a decentralised exchange, not saying which one right now because I feel so stupid. Anyway, I got a pop-up saying my Trust Wallet needed 're-verification' because of new KYC rules – super official looking, had all the logos and everything. It offered a 'support chat'. Naturally, like an idiot, I clicked. Big mistake. The 'support agent' convinced me I needed to download AnyDesk so they could 'sync' my wallet. They talked me through it, saying it was a new security protocol. While they were connected, I saw my balance fluctuate wildly, then go to zero. They disconnected immediately. My crypto, about 8k USD in various coins, is just... gone. I tried to trace it on-chain, but I'm not good at that stuff. Is there any actual route to get this back? Or do I just have to accept it's a very expensive lesson?
Lost crypto after clicking a fake City of Vancouver parking ticket link – any recovery hope?
Okay, so i'm feeling incredibly stupid right now. Last Friday, around noon, i got this text message. It looked legit, like it was from the City of Vancouver, saying i had an unpaid parking violation and i needed to click a link to pay it off to avoid extra fines. I was rushing, thinking about my meeting, and i just clicked it without really thinking. The website looked exactly like the official City of Vancouver payment portal. i entered my card details and then, because it was asking for verification, they said my bank wasn't supported and offered crypto payment. i panicked and used my Trust Wallet, transferring about 5,000 USDT. Later that evening, i told my husband about the 'ticket' and he was like, 'Wait, we haven't been in Vancouver for weeks!' That's when it hit me. I checked the real City of Vancouver website and of course, no outstanding tickets. My Trust Wallet is empty now. Is there any, any, any way to get those funds back? I've reported it to the police here in Sharjah and to Trust Wallet support, but I haven't heard anything useful.
Got a text about a 'parking ticket' from City of Vancouver - imposter scam? Lost crypto!
Feeling so stupid right now, i just need to know if anyone else has dealt with this. I got a text message last night, like around 8pm local time, saying I had an unpaid parking violation from the 'City of Vancouver'. It looked really legit, a link to 'vancouver.ca' or something similar, asking for payment. Problem is, I've never even been to Vancouver!. I clicked the link, and the site looked so real. Asked for my payment details, which I entered. Then it asked for a 'verification' with my crypto wallet (MetaMask, FWIW), saying it was a new security protocol for international payments. I was sleepy, not thinking straight, and *actually* connected my wallet and approved a transaction. Woke up this morning and my Trust Wallet is drained - about 4,000 USDT gone. I feel sick to my stomach. Is there any way to recover crypto if it was taken through something like this? I reported it to my bank but they said it's crypto so they can't do much.
Lost a load of crypto after trying to 'refund' something from Caroline June Palm Beach, scam or just dodgy?
Ok so, I feel like such an idiot right now. I ordered some stuff from "Caroline June Palm Beach" a few weeks ago, online. The clothes arrived, but they were NOT what was advertised, like, super cheap quality, wrong sizes. Anyway, I tried to process a return/refund. Their online portal seemed dodgy so I emailed their 'support'. They replied saying they only process refunds via crypto to avoid international bank fees, which already raised a flag for me. But I was desperate to get my money back. They sent me a link to what looked like a crypto payment gateway, saying I had to "verify" my wallet by sending a small amount of ETH, which would then be refunded along with my purchase price. So, i, being dumb, followed the instructions and sent about 0.5 ETH from my Trust Wallet. The transaction went through, and then... nothing. No refund, no communication, their website is now down. I've been blocked from their social media too. Is there any way to track this? Or is my ETH just gone forever? I feel sick to my stomach.
Lost my ETH to a deepfake Elon Musk giveaway - is there ANY way to recover it?
I feel so incredibly stupid right now. I was watching a YouTube live stream over the weekend, it was supposedly Elon Musk talking about some new crypto initiative, and it looked SO real. Like, perfect video, perfect audio, everything. He was saying if you send 0.5 ETH to this address, they'd send back 1 ETH as a 'thank you' for supporting his new project. My partner warned me, but I was just so hyped and it just seemed so legit, I didn't even think. I sent 0.5 ETH from my Trust Wallet. Moments later, I realized it was a scam. The stream disappeared, the address was empty. It was a deepfake, wasn't it? I saw someone mention Chainalysis might be able to trace it but idk. Is there any actual hope of getting my money back? About $1,800 USD, which is a lot for me right now. I'm in Germany, btw.
My Trust Wallet was drained after a 'liquidity pool' linked from TikTok, any hope for recovery?
Feeling so stupid right now, but I need to ask. I was scrolling TikTok a few weeks ago, just looking at regular stuff, when I saw this account posting about crazy crypto gains from 'liquidity pools'. Like, they were showing screenshots of their Binance account with insane profits. I know, red flags, but I've always been interested in crypto and they seemed legit, tons of followers, comments raving about them. They moved me to Telegram, and after a lot of convincing, I linked my Trust Wallet to this 'liquidity pool' platform they swore was backed by Binance. I put in about $3k worth of ETH. It looked like it was growing, but when I tried to withdraw, it just said 'transaction failed' repeatedly. Then, yesterday morning, my Trust Wallet was completely empty. Everything gone. The TikTok account is gone, the Telegram user blocked me. I've reported it to my bank (for the initial transfer to Binance), and to Trust Wallet, but they basically said once it's on-chain, it's not their problem. Is there *anything* at all someone can do? Has anyone actually gotten crypto back after something like this? I feel so lost.
