1  Bitcoin / Electrum / think i was scammed but not sure how. please help. on: September 15, 2020, 12:22:20 AM
well guys it looks like i just lost 1100$ worth of bitcoin but im not sure what i did.
been a little while since i used electrum. this is the first time ive used 4.03. i had a few dollars worth already on electrum but i went to add about 1100$ worth. i clicked on receive and it gave me an address in a box. i sent the bitcoin i just purchased to that address. as soon as i did the transaction was showing up on my balance as incoming like usual. then all of a sudden electrum said my balance was now zero. it confirmed 6 times and is now a green check mark in my history. my balance is still 0. the weird thing is when i look at my history it shows 2 transactions at the same exact time. one coming in with the new bitcoin and one going out with the total amount.

i know that money more than likely gone but im scared to buy any bitcoin till i know how this happened and how i can prevent this.
