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.
Lost my crypto on SBlock-Trade, is there any chance for recovery or am I completely out of luck?
I'm feeling so gutted right now. I put a significant amount of my savings into what I thought was a legitimate crypto trading platform called SBlock-Trade (sblocktrade.tech). Everything looked professional, and the returns were, frankly, too good to be true, which I realize now was a huge red flag. I connected my wallet and made several deposits over a few weeks. When I tried to withdraw a larger sum, they just stonewalled me. First, they asked for more 'tax' payments, then 'high liquidity fees,' and now my account is frozen, and I can't even log in. Their website seems to be down intermittently too. I've reported it to my local authorities, but I don't hold much hope. Has anyone faced something similar with SBlock-Trade or a platform like it? Is there even a glimmer of hope that any of my crypto could be recovered, or should I just accept this as an expensive lesson?
My MetaMask wallet was drained after clicking a link, can ChainAbuse actually help or is it just another scam?
I'm feeling so desperate right now. Last week, I received a phishing email that looked *exactly* like a notification from Kraken. Without thinking, I clicked on a link in it, confirmed a transaction (I thought it was just enabling something minor), and within minutes, my entire MetaMask wallet was completely drained. Everything. My ETH, some NFTs, even my small amount of AVAX. I reported it to the FBI IC3 because I'm in Germany, and saw their international reporting option, but haven't heard anything back. I also submitted a report to ChainAbuse, but honestly, I'm just so wary now. After getting scammed once, every 'recovery' service or helpful-looking website triggers my alarm bells. Has anyone actually had success using ChainAbuse after a wallet drain? Or is it just a database for stolen funds, not an active recovery tool? I'm trying to figure out if there's any real hope here or if I should just accept it as a very expensive lesson.
