1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Had 165k ETH stolen last night. on: July 29, 2023, 07:45:28 AM
Listen up. I messed up. Seriously. My negligence ended up costing me $165k in Ethereum, and a bit of MATIC. Here's what happened.

Earlier today, I had a significant deposit of ETH enter my digital wallet. Barely 8 minutes later, it was gone. The transaction ID? 0x094f01f9174845200e6324bf18a242e0b19ce7f058a4cb928144d22df8313bcc. Destination? A new wallet, 0x4b9e0ddabad6dff604db3d827f5fa7e1c6952aa8.

I know what you're thinking. "Should've used a hard wallet." And you're correct. I have a Ledger, and it was sitting unused while my ETH was taken. Worth noting, I had about $7k in my wallet all day, untouched. But as soon as the large deposit came in, it was swiped. Clearly, it was a targeted operation.

I'm not avoiding blame here. I failed. Despite being cautious, I wasn't vigilant enough. I'm reeling from it.

So, here's my request: If anyone knows advanced methods to trace this wallet or the transaction, beyond just setting alerts, I'd be grateful for the help. I'm clinging to the slim hope that I might retrieve my lost funds.

To everyone else: learn from my mistake. If you've got substantial crypto, move it to your hard wallet immediately. Don't let overconfidence or negligence jeopardize your assets. It can happen to anyone, myself being a stark case in point.

TL;DR: I lost $165k in ETH from my wallet moments after it was deposited. It went to a new wallet (0x4b9e0ddabad6dff604db3d827f5fa7e1c6952aa8). I didn't use my Ledger, and that's a decision I'm paying for dearly. If you can help trace the transaction or the wallet, please share your advice. Keep your crypto assets secure, folks. It's a hard lesson I've learned firsthand.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Lost $165k in ETH - Straight Talk About Crypto Safety on: July 28, 2023, 11:20:49 PM
Look, no sugar-coating here. I screwed up, royally. My blunder cost me $165k in Ethereum and some MATIC. Here's the grim play-by-play.

Earlier today, a hefty chunk of ETH rolled into my digital wallet. Before the dust settled, it was gone. Swiped. We're talking transaction ID 0x094f01f9174845200e6324bf18a242e0b19ce7f058a4cb928144d22df8313bcc and the culprits' hideout at 0x4b9e0ddabad6dff604db3d827f5fa7e1c6952aa8.

Yeah, I can already hear you. "Why not a hard wallet?" Spot on. My Ledger sat there, idle, while my ETH went walkabout. Just to add salt to the wound, $7k lounged in my wallet all day without a hitch. The big deposit arrives and - BAM - it's in some scumbag's pocket. Feels like a targeted strike.

I'm not playing the victim card here. This was on me. Despite being cautious, it wasn't enough. Not by a long shot. This hit me like a punch to the gut.

Before we get to the begging-for-help part, let me add this. Despite my blunder, I've always been rigorous with my private key and mnemonic phrase. Never wrote them down. Never signed off on dodgy transactions. My wallet was mainly a workhorse for business transactions and a couple of trustworthy crypto casinos. Still, I got burned. Badly. Just goes to show that even with the best practices, there are risks.

Now, I'm asking for a solid. If anyone knows any advanced ways to track this wallet or the transaction, I'd be thankful for your insight. My hope is barely flickering, but I'm holding on, trying to salvage what I can.

This is your wake-up call. Got substantial crypto? Get it into your hard wallet. Don't feed yourself the "it won't happen to me" BS. Because, from personal experience, it damn well can.

3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Crypterium has held my BTC hostage for almost a month with no end in sight. on: January 05, 2022, 07:29:04 AM
On December 12th, 2021 I had purchased $250 of BTC in Crypterium on their iPhone app as I have done many times before. When I attempted about an hour later to withdraw my funds to an external wallet, I received a generic error message. I contact Crypterium who asked to see a screenshot, then told me they would be escalating this to the "appropriate department". I enquired further as to what the issue was and they simply said a technical problem and signed off. About a week later I hadn't heard anything back from them, and had tried to withdraw the BTC from their online platform as well, received the same generic error message telling me to contact support. Fast forward to January 5th, 2022 and I still haven't heard from them even after following up numerous times and still can't withdraw my crypto. Any suggestions on what or how to proceed?

6  Economy / Scam Accusations / [SCAMMER] Hakai World world scammed me for $10 on: December 24, 2019, 11:49:08 AM
What happened: He asked me to check my Discord in reply to my ad looking for Ticketmaster accounts, and he then told me he had 5 accounts,  I offered him $20 for the 5 accounts and he agreed, I told him I wanted to split up the payments $10 in BTC I would send and then send the other $10 in BTC after checking the accounts. I sent the BTC, and the moment he received the transaction ID he went offline and has been MIA since.
