Damn that sucks!

Several warning have been echoed around here that there are so many wallet drainers out there and there, you should never connect your wallet that contains your crypto to any of those random apps or websites. If you want to test it out, just connect it to an empty banner wallet. That way, they will have nothing to drain.

Just because the website looks good or clean does not mean it is legitimate. This is exactly the impression scammers want to give you... that Clean and professional looking  = Not shady

Like you have already been told, your chances are super slim. For coinbase to give you details of the owner of the address, you might need a court order and some help from law enforcement from your jurisdiction. This means you are looking at hiring a lawyer.

I dont know how i fall for it but it was an ad in instagram and i didnt think they allow these kind of scams..
Dont they have any moderation??
2  Economy / Scam Accusations / I got scammed for 9k on drainer on: September 08, 2025, 07:17:43 PM
Im creating this thread in hope that somebody can help me..

I just got rekt for $9400 in ETH.

Like a complete idiot, I saw an ad on Instagram of "Greenfield Wallet" - some slick-looking “secure crypto wallet” with “exclusive access” and whatever other bullshit sounds legit. I clicked it. I connected my wallet to register. And in one second - literally one f*cking second - all my ETH was gone.

$9400 Gone. Transferred in this transaction: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xaa3a32e5d3efc962155ef2eef1d507253ae806ffcdd5ffa031242c3024f0e57e

I didn’t even sign anything. Or at least I thought I didn’t. Turns out it was some kind of wallet drainer.

I’m already messaging every crypto scam investigator on X I can find.

(I dont know how to add screenshots here)

One of them replied and said the code, the wallet, the whole setup - it’s linked to something called Quark drainer. He even sent me a screenshot breaking it down. 

I feel like an idiot. I thought I was careful. I’ve been in crypto for years. But that ad looked real. The site looked clean and i didnt see any warnings when i connected.

I see my ETH went to this wallet https://etherscan.io/address/0x03c69e50a6251fe1adbfb7f8504d58354eaa4f0b and it was funded from Coinbase. I already have an answer but... Is there any chance to find who is the owner of this wallet if I report this to Coinbase support?
