A few months ago, I decided to invest a significant amount of money, around $8,200 into $ETH , storing it securely (or so I thought) on Trust Wallet. I felt confident, having taken the usual precautions: strong passwords, two factor authentication, and careful handling of my seed phrase.

One evening, I joined a crypto forum to discuss investment strategies. A user with a seemingly trustworthy profile shared a link to a "limited-time staking opportunity" that promised high returns. Curious but cautious, I clicked the link, it led to a page that looked almost identical to Trust Wallet's official site. It asked me to "connect my wallet for verification," and in a moment of poor judgment, I entered my recovery phrase.

Nothing happened immediately. The page simply refreshed, and I brushed it off, assuming it was a scam attempt that hadn't succeeded. I immediately changed my Trust Wallet password for good measure.
