BREAKING ALERT :$ A Costly Mistake: How I Lost $2,250 in a Crypto Phishing Scam.
A few days ago, I invested a substantial amount—around $2,250—into $ETH, storing it securely (or so I believed) in my *Trust Wallet*. I took all the usual precautions: a strong password, two-factor authentication, and extreme care with my seed phrase.
Then, one evening, everything went wrong.
I was browsing a crypto forum, discussing investment strategies, when a user with a seemingly legitimate profile shared a link to a "limited-time staking opportunity" with high returns. Cautious but curious, I clicked. The site looked identical to Trust Wallet’s official page. It asked me to "connect my wallet for verification," and in a moment of terrible judgment, I entered my recovery phrase.
At first, nothing seemed wrong—the page just refreshed. I assumed the scam had failed and immediately **changed my Trust Wallet password** just to be safe.
But days later, I opened my wallet to check my balance—only to find it completely drained. My heart sank as I scrolled through the transaction history: my entire ETH holdings had been sent to an unknown address, without any alerts or warnings.
Now, I’m stuck in a stressful waiting game, hoping for a resolution—maybe even a partial recovery. It’s been a painful lesson in crypto security.
Has anyone else been through something similar? Any advice on what else I can do in this situation? Your support would mean a lot.
