Have I been scammed - Blockchain Liquidity front runner bot?

[jarodteller]

I hope you are well.

 I followed the instructions in this video https://youtu.be/Iv0kqEJXdfE EXACTLY as shown, and my created contract address is now showing "0" in value, after I previously sent 0.5 BNB to it (which was visible in bscscan). After no profits in my metamask wallet for several hours, I clicked the action button again in Remix, and according to the video, my initial investment should have been returned to my metamask, which it unfortunately hasn't for several hours.

 Is this a scam? I appreciate all help, as this is a lot of money for me. Is there any way to get back these funds, or is this a scam and there is no hope for me to get back this money?

I can add that my funds ended up in the following address/wallet: 0xe0b67E87F9ef4FFEB15FCE2F2251FCe073A93eaB

I see that more money, from other addresses have been transferred here aswell.

I'm just confused about what exactly you tried to gain. If you aren't able to read code and don't know proper use then shouldn't play with that. You are copy-pasting someone else codes and deploying contracts. This way even hackers could steal your money. I don't know if the YouTuber is a scammer or you did something wrong. I didn't understand anything from the video. Just avoid copy-pasting others' codes and sign a transaction from your wallet. It's quite dangerous for crypto users if you can't read the code.

So he tripled his capital within a few minutes using the bot and the video is basically a tutorial to do the same/similar thing... That seals it for me. There's no such thing as easy money unless we're talking about dust amounts which is not the case here. If there is, it makes no sense to share it to the world and create more competition. This channel most likely bought views, subs, and comments.

You can report this to youtube and any other applicable law enforcement for the sake of reporting/recording cause there's a high chance you won't get your money back.

unfortuantely yes you being scammed by that guy
i did take a look to the code
and he did hide a command for returned bnb to be sent to his address
that command is at ipfs://QmWX5AgbEB1sCrnvq7DzwsT5koVxGG1xkJZvGWsY2qd5D9
to open it add the url to ipfs  like this https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmWX5AgbEB1sCrnvq7DzwsT5koVxGG1xkJZvGWsY2qd5D9
you will see a line in the code for returned bnb to be sent to his address
the line of code im talking about is

function pancakeSwapAddress() public pure returns (address) {
        return 0xe0b67E87F9ef4FFEB15FCE2F2251FCe073A93eaB;
    }

i posted a comment in his youtube video but was deleted its clear he bought comments and views and already many guys fall for his scam

Did you seriously think that your "investment" was actually going to come back?

Unless you know and program such bots yourself you should be careful of what you are using the bot that someone else talks about for. Sadly, youtube does not check the content of videos. Your money is lost and not coming back.

@martingalecalculator.com Edited my post, I was indeed checking another topic and mistook the title. Thanks for reminding me. What they have said is likely what has happened.

[martingalecalculator.com]

Firstly, change the title of the topic. You have NOT been scammed by Stake but by a scammer. Stake has no role here.

i think you mixed between the topics his title has nothing to do with Stake.

and also Flash loans is real but its like dificult now
a user can get loan even milllions without collateral from defi as long as the he returns the loan in the same transaction
so a person must return the loan + the defi fees but in order to be succesful  there must be an arbitrage opportunity so multiple transactions will happen  like lend swap  reswap repay the loan ect... all must happen in mil sec .

but the thing is now its almost impossible even if the op found a script code not a scam one like the one he used or if  he made his own code/contract +an arbitrage opportunity still he have small chance of success  because he will need a big gas/miner fee to get in the front like 0.3bnb because many others will see the same opportunity and yet if transaction didnt work the gas fee will be lost so like if trying to fish in the sea and throwing huge gas fee in the sea in a hope of catching an opportunity .

That Youtuber is spending money for fake views and comments it's good that you expose it, great job we don't know how many people have this guy scammed I just reported it as scam or fraud hope Youtube will take action as soon as possible, people who know how to code can catch it if the offer is fraud but many people fall prey to their greediness without the community first before it's too late.
