1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My trustwallet of $211,000 has been stolen, any help or advice is appreciated on: April 05, 2024, 10:39:34 AM
Man, $211,000 on Trust Wallet? On a mobile app/browser extension? Not even an $80 hardware wallet? Cry

Best of luck.


I would take that a step further and advise everyone  to stay away from Ethereum altogether, where 90% or more of all crypto hacks have always occurred.
I get the criticism towards Ethereum, but of course the huge majority of hacks would be on Ethereum — because all the apps are on Ethereum/L2s. Ethereum's competitors outside of Solana have little to no on-chain activity.

Right. That was the first thing with came to mind when I read the amount of
cryptocurrency this unfortunate person had in their mobile wallet. I don't want to be rough or hurt OP feelings... But not buying a 200$ advanced hardware wallet to safeguard almost a quarter of a million of dollars sounds like insanity to me.
There are even people within the Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency community in general which do not even have 2000$ and yet they choose to store whatever they have into a hardware wallet (which does not even need to be a premium model).


There is no much I can say beyond what others have. For that amount of money it would be worth it to hire a professional whose job is to track criminals like this one, in exchange of your stolen money. Though, the free recovery cases I have seen are from people who went all their way until the end and with their own available resources to hunt down those scammers.





I invested already about $1500 with a Private Investigator online to track my funds but unfortunately it seems like I’m at a dead end with the destination address going to an anonymous exchange at eXch.cx

Does anybody have the contact or ZachXBT or someone who’s proficient enough to trace these criminals with success. I tried contacting ZachXBT on Twitter but I don’t think he responds to individuals. If any of you know of a good resource that I can hire or speak to please let me know, one that’s legitimate as I’ve been hearing there’s a lot of scam services that don’t really recover

I’m planning on buying a ledger wallet. I just ordered the Nano S

Yah it’s pretty devastating, never been such a traumatic situation. Feel like people would probably commit suicide after something like this. I’m just super depressed because that was like years of hard work, 12 hour days to save up and just like that some piece of **** just wipes me out. Nobody deserves this, now I got to rebuild. I hope I can find some altcoins to get in at an early marketcap to recover from this. Its pretty depressing

That doesn’t make me stupid because I got my account drained. I didn’t click on any airdrop scams or links. My computer was hacked and I never download any exe files or anything. I literally just use it for crypto, I connect to a VPS and that’s it. Somehow my computer was hacked and my secret keys were stolen

Is there a hard wallet that connects to an iPhone or are most of them thru androids. Also which hard wallet would you say is pretty user-friendly? Hypothetically speaking, if let’s say your computer is compromised or has a Trojan in it and if you connect your hard-wallet is it still pretty safe? I’m assuming with a hard wallet, your keys are on the device so if you happen to misplace that wallet your funds are also gone? You can not use your keys to open it in another hardware wallet?

It’s pretty brutal that I can’t recover funds, so you’re saying all these huge hacks where people steal 60 million worth of bitcoin from larger exchanges. Everybody just gets away with the money? The feds or government agencies can’t catch them, because if they transfer it to an exchange like eXch, it’s game over then? That’s just crazy considering how much money we’re talking about in some of these hacks

I really don’t mind paying for it as long as I can get my funds back, the private investigator was just someone hired from fiverr that conducted the trace of the final destination address. They have no power in contacting the exchange. I tried to reach by quoting eXch the user on this forum within his post but he has not reached out to me. I would prefer to message him directly but since I am a new user it’s not allowing me to message him. It’s unfortunate as this is time-sensitive

Is there a way to flag the wallet address’s so they can’t easily be cashed out? Last place the stolen funds transferred is the platform exchange https://eXch.cx 
I don’t know if the scammers are trying to exchange the eth for monero or usdt, but just want to be able to prevent them from cashing out and see if the exchanges can freeze the assets and try to recover the funds. If you guys can refer me to someone or reach out to somebody that can help in this situation would greatly be appreciated.

Hello eXch mod - please refer to this post. I’ve had $211,000 of my funds stolen yesterday and the scammers sent it to your exchange

Hey everyone,

Yesterday I had my entire life savings of $211,000 stolen from me and the scammers sent it to a crypto exchange platform eXch.cx It was a total of 62 eth. This was literally all the money that I been working with to help my mom who is dying right now from heart disease. I know the whole point of crypto is to be anonymous but please I really need your help, this was everything that I had and it was for my family and to survive. I never clicked on any airdrop scam or link so I’m pretty sure I was hacked in some sophisticated manner. I already got a police report which I can show and also I hired someone to do an investigative report log showing the exact trace from my trust wallet account into the final destination which is the scammers wallet and exchange he sent it to. I am a new user here and can not direct message the moderator for the https://exch.cx which he posted on this forum and his username is eXch. Please if somebody can reach out to him and ask to freeze the assets that would mean the world. I am in a very bad place right now in my life
