Just got wallet drained for $40k

[Anonymous No.57405754]

I’m honestly the biggest idiot ever. i knew something was too good to be true yet i still went forward. long story short got my wallet drained for $40k. i still have $220k left on other wallets but it really hurts to know that i could’ve spent that $40k on virtually anything (holidays for my family etc) - instead it’s going to some random scammer. realistically i should just move on but i thought i’d rant. now i feel like just leaving crypto altogether desu.

I lost $7k recently because I was retarded and sent BEP USDT to an ERC USDT address on Coinbase so that I could put it into other coins. It's not as much as some people have lost, but it really pained me. I got so used to recklessly throwing crypto around between addresses like it was play money, that I never stopped to be more careful about these sort of sums. It really made me stop and consider what I could have used that 7k for:

-2 months worth of mortgage payments
-70 high quality meals at a restaurant
-1-2 luxury watches
-23 sessions with high class escorts

I try to tell myself it's better to have learned this lesson now. Maybe I'd have ended up losing even more money in the future otherwise.

hey, just saying one thing, and this is good for everyone doing crypto, stocks, options, whatever: the money you hold in those stocks, options, crypto and all of that is never realized UNTIL the moment you CASH IT OUT. until you do that, they are still playing chips in the casino.
if you've made any significant amount of money, take out what you need and leave yourself a small amount to continue your accumulation. only leave a "playing amount" and not your whole winnings, because shit like this happens.
so say you put 1k on the table, turn it into 15k, my suggestion is move 12k off the table and cash it out. now you have 3k left to continue playing with, so technically you're still 3 times over the initial investment and the 12k has been secured in your bank account, 12k that you can then pull out of the bank in hard cash money. you have to remember the money is never yours until it PHYSICALLY REACHES YOUR HANDS. you may have diamonds hands, but if they are empty, they aint worth shit!

Just become extremely untrusting. Don't connect your wallet to shit until you've verified it. Be especially careful when claiming an airdrop. And any sort of "YOU NEED TO DO THIS TIME IS RUNNING OUT" aspect of crypto should make you pause, because that's how they get you.

Also post your seed phrase here and I'll install software in your wallet that protects you from phishing scams.

Okay. Not sure I even got any airdrops anyway and not certain what they are, are they just random people sending NFTs?

Basically, if you use up-and-coming crypto projects and show you are a regular user, they will sometimes give you their tokens for free when they launch. Look at what Arbitrum did.

But if you have random crypto in your wallet that appears to be worth a lot of money, Do Not Touch It. You'll always have to manually claim airdrops on the project's website, but scammers will make fake airdrop claiming websites too. So be careful.

And don't actually post your seed phrase here, or anywhere.

I know what you're feeling, I got drained on Dec. 24th, and lost about $40,000 too. It was the stupidest thing ever; I thought I was doing a token migration, didn't realize that the telegram channel was a scam, connected my wallet... then to make it worse, I approved the spending limit for OP and then approved another shitcoin for the ARB chain.

I mean, I was a complete retard. I've avoided all scams, fake airdrops, fake sites until then... I should have realized after the OP approval that it was making me approve each coin one by one, starting from the highest value. I wasn't thinking and by the time it asked for approval for my 3rd coin, I rejected... but the message kept popping up and I kept rejecting it. I had to close my metamask, then my computer froze a bit, I opened MM again, it had automatically logged me out, logged in, and bam, lost all my OP and the other arb shitcoin.

I was actually breaking out in cold sweat and I could feel the blood drain from my face when I realized what was going on. I lost about 5000 OP... it was all airdropped to me cause i used OP alot and never moved/sold it so I kept getting more... and lost it all. At peak, that was $20K ish. My other shitcoin was around $20K too.

I still think about it from time to time, and I always take a 2nd look when I connect/approve/ transact now. It still hurts and bothers me... in the back of mind :(

a lot of these happen when fake crypto twitter accounts which mimic real crypto accounts are made by scammers. it works best when a genuine dapp/protocol is giving away an airdrop in the near future. The twitter page gets cloned and the scam account posts a link to the airdrop which a bunch of other scam accounts repost so it makes your feed. the website the libnk takes you to looks legit and so you connect your metamask, sign a contract and get drained. you have to be ultra vigilant when clicking anything from twitter, discord, telegram.
