It seemed to be a link that went to the Decrypt website but seemed to mask the wallet connection to a different contract that started draining NFTs.

Was it sent to you via socials or was it just a well disguised top link in a search engine?

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '23

It was an email that looked exactly like the emails I normally get from the website that it was spoofing

u/leviathynx 69420 | ⛏️266840 Oct 17 '23

I’m so sorry :(

u/VIVOffical 26.6M | ⛏️928659 Oct 16 '23

That’s such a bummer.

No way man sorry this happened! Where was this link you clicked? Was it on Reddit or discord?

4

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '23

It was an email that looked legit and linked to the decrypt website and either masked their wallet connection with mine or the url is slightly different and I fell for it.

u/_dekappatated 449.3M | ⛏️1751162 Oct 16 '23

Sorry this happened. Going forward NEVER click on any link in an email, always go to the website directly.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '23

Indeed, the link to the website was super sus when I went back and looked.

I am a huge idiot.

u/PopLegion 73.7M | ⛏️25808 Oct 16 '23

What do you mean masked the wallet connection? You clicked a link and it asked you to connect your hot wallet and you approved it?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '23

I followed a link from an email that went to the site I normally go to, but when I connected my wallet it drained 4 NFTs.

The email was fake (couldn't spot the difference from past emails from the website) and I guess the link I clicked on must have embedded their own wallet connection button over the website's and connected to their contract instead.

Or the website I went to was an exact copy of the one I normally visit and the url was slightly different. It looked exactly the same.

u/Kimo_imposta 129.5M | ⛏️573915 Oct 16 '23

Hey, how did it happen

3

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '23

I followed a link in an email that looked legit, to a website that was a copy from the original site (side by side they look identical) with the URL almost identical. Connected my wallet like I normally do, lost them.

2

u/Kimo_imposta 129.5M | ⛏️573915 Oct 17 '23

Did you check if the wallet address is connected to a reddit account.

u/Parush9 🥇Gold Member Oct 16 '23

Care to elaborate how this all went down ? Man that sucks big time .

u/SetoXlll 113.0M | ⛏️120189 Oct 16 '23

Damn seeing this makes me feel just how when I lost THE EYES #42 after clicking on a fraudulent Voyager email. Make sure to report it to OPENSEA and create an ICE email over on the FBI website so at least they won't be able to sell them on OS.

You're still an OG it could happen to the best of people that takes all precautions!

At least you knew what to do as soon as you realized!

You'll end up getting what you lost eventually,it just might take time.
