Hello everyone, First of all, I am not sure where to post this kind of problem, so I apologize if I went to the wrong forum group. I would like to ask, I noticed some transactions on my wallet both going in and out. It is always the same amount +0.01575000 ETH going in from the same address and a little less (I assume due to a fee) going back to the same address minutes later. I discovered this through https://www.blockchain.com website. I sent ETH to this wallet but it would seem I cannot withdraw it, when I set the request, it changed my assets status to "frozen" and I cannot see the withdraw request anywhere, not even on the blockchain.com website. I am not sure what to make of this, however I am quite new so if any of you have similar experience or maybe an idea what these transactions mean, I would be thankful for any information you can give me. M.T.

I need more details to help you out.
When you transfer tokens , some eth transactions will go out of your wallet. Did you transfer any erc20 tokens?
If the gas was more than enough the transaction might have been refunded (so the value comes back) Do you mind sharing your address?

Hmm, I'm kinda confused with all your explanation, my first question is are you sure you owned that wallet? It sounds like those wallet that scammers give away to scam scammers, they show their recovery seed for greedy people to make deposit and once you make deposits it will automatically send the eth to another address, I hope this isn't what's happening? Also drop your wallet address

Hello again,
thank you for your replies. I do feel like this whole thing was a scam. I am rather new at this, the wallet in question is 0x9725c06cf5593ba75573dae30823ed5776a1b4a7
All of the transactions with value +0.01575000 ETH, I have no idea what they are, if I understand correctly, they are coming into the wallet, as if someone was sending it to me. Minutes later -0.01501500 ETH, as if I was sending the ETH to someone else, however I did not. The transactions with different ETH count, those I did. However now, I cannot withdraw the remaining ETH from this wallet (which inside the wallet, I see a different remaining ETH count than I see when I check the address on blockchain). I put a request for a withdrawal and after several hours, it gets rejected and the ETH is back in that wallet
Thank you for your help

First of all I don't see any balance on your address. https://etherscan.io/address/0x9725c06cf5593ba75573dae30823ed5776a1b4a7But yeah it is weird though,whybthe funds are coming to and froth from the same wallet address and when I visit the other address it seems contains tons of transactions in recent times. So please tell us what kind of wallet you are using and did you used any unknown exchange in the recent times?

If you have any doubts about the wallet, then do not give anything to it and immediately step back from everything related to it, because I see that the transactions that occur in the wallet are only about the in and out of the Ethereum token, so it is clear that it is some of the incentives of the con artist who wants to take advantage of the opportunity at this very good moment. Thank you for such a quick reply. I do have some funds there, I assume, these are lost. It is not like I put my life savings there, I am more angry than I am broke because of it but still, I have to ask, whether there is a way for me to reclaim this.

I can post the link to the exchange but if it is unsafe, I am not sure, if I would not get banned from the forum.

You will not be banned for posting links here, make sure that link doesn't contains any referrals which is only goes against the forum rules. Yes, it seems the exchange is shady and no one able to withdraw their funds once they deposited into their address. Let's see what is the exchange we are all talking about.

I can't find any review about the exchange you mentioned which itself a great warning for scam site but when I looked for the domain details it was quite old like 2 years and still in the active status but there is no further details about the site is available on any scam finding related site.

Are you saying that you buy bit coin in that exchange and you never receive any in return after widrawing to your wallet ? And where do you hear that exchange ? I am still liking for review of this exchange . I am just confused how the name of that exchange and the link you give is different maybe its just a phishing website.

That is what I checked at first too before depositing: how old is the website, I tried looking at websites where scam sites are being posted, I could not find it anywhere, so I thought it would be alright, as for two years of being active it was not reported as a scam. Well, I should have registered on this forum sooner and read about scams and frauds a little more. I will know better now.

The exchange website in question is https://licbtc.com/pc/pages It was recommended to me by a friend, I am not sure how he found out about it. So, is it a exchange wallet? This is not really your wallet man. Your exchange let you use their wallet. It is a "custodial" wallet. To create your own wallet one good and easy alternative is to download metamask extension. Those transactions within that addresses all belong to the exchange. There are even some binance transactions.

Those transactions within that addresses all belong to the exchange. There are even some binance transactions. The binance transaction would be mine (I am guessing). The thing I did was I bought ETH on Binance and I transfered it to this website as to my friends recommendation, since he advised me to invest in a cryptocurrency published on this particular exchange This is the first time I hear about a custodial wallet, to be honest, so I am going to google that. I would ask you to go over the cryptocurrency whether it looks legit or not (I did look it over before I invested and I read a couple articles as to which cryptocurrency is a scam, what should a cryptocurrency have etc. but I guess I should have read more) but I do not want to promote anything here since it looks really weird, in case someone new like me just looks at a few comments and does not read the whole topic. Anyway, thank you for your advices and all the information, it is really helpful.

Yes strange link too but I don't find any actual exchange in that name in cryptocurrency space so it can't be a clone one. The website itself created by scammer and stealing people money for every long time. @OP who is the friend who referred this website to you, someone you actually know or an online friend?

The website itself created by scammer and stealing people money for every long time. @OP who is the friend who referred this website to you, someone you actually know or an online friend? Well that is a very long time indeed, a little weird that it was not reported yet since the crypto community is so big, nobody stumbled upon it. An actual friend. I will ask him where he heard about it the next time I see him.

The binance transaction would be mine (I am guessing). The thing I did was I bought ETH on Binance and I transfered it to this website as to my friends recommendation, since he advised me to invest in a cryptocurrency published on this particular exchange This is the first time I hear about a custodial wallet, to be honest, so I am going to google that. I would ask you to go over the cryptocurrency whether it looks legit or not (I did look it over before I invested and I read a couple articles as to which cryptocurrency is a scam, what should a cryptocurrency have etc. but I guess I should have read more) but I do not want to promote anything here since it looks really weird, in case someone new like me just looks at a few comments and does not read the whole topic. Anyway, thank you for your advices and all the information, it is really helpful.
Well, let me tell you this: Basically anythinng with "crypto" is a scam. My advice is to stay away from everything but bitcoin and electrum wallet until you understand this ecossystem. There are very few legit players around. There are few good exchanges (the big ones, such binance and coinbase, but they can become a scam at anytime). Few good casinos, few good cryptocurrencies and so on. Your friend probably doesn't know what he is talking about when he suggested that you send your coins from binance to that exchange. If he knew anything about crypto, he would have recommended you to download a wallet (like electrum.org for bitcoin or metamask for eth)

If he knew anything about crypto, he would have recommended you to download a wallet (like electrum.org for bitcoin or metamask for eth) Yes, actually that was my question once I read a quick article about custodian wallets. What if Binance or Coinbase decide to cease operation and keep all the tokens people have in their wallets. If that actually can happen or not (I know the chance with an exchange as big as Binance is small, at least I guess). So if I understand this correctly, metamask is a wallet (an app, which you download, basically), where you keep your ETH under your control, instead of relying on an exchange like Binance, Coinbase or the exchange in question here, LicEx. Once you buy ETH on Binance for example, you withdraw it and deposit just like I did before but you deposit it to your own wallet?

this licbtc.com sounds quite suspicious to me. First of all, seems a little unprofessional coded. For example, they did not redirect HTTP to HTTPS (check with and without "s") I find some reviews about them, but I did not check it all licbtc.com Reviewhttps://www.scamdoc.com/view/467846https://www.signal-arnaques.com/en/scam/view/297625to me, these transactions look like a trading bot is using those funds. Maybe is your funds locked in open orders. Can you check your open orders there?
