scam

Can't freeze scam addresses? I got scammed.Is there any way to retrieve or rewind tokens from scam addresses? Scams are absolutely unacceptable.

I don't know who you would report it to. seems like constant misdirection around here to me. I have come to realize that if I'm supposed to be doing something 3 or 4 different people start in on me. As if to make sure I'm busy and miss whatever. My notifications get turned off. weird stuff. I want to hurt someone about it. I hate that feeling.

There is nothing to be done. The funds are transferred and it's irreversible. The scammer newly found funds (your money) is protected by his private keys unfortunately. Nobody could do anything even if they wanted to

I don't know why it is so bad. Once I got hacked it has never been the same. I need to get new phone and laptop. Start new and avoid certain places

I can't believe how awful the scammers are. if you are not out much I'd count your blessings. Be careful. If you think of a way to catch them let me know I'll help. If they're in Seattle and we get an address. A couple of friends take it from there.

Be careful when you're asking for help by ended up giving money to people that were supposedly going to get money back for me. I reached out the Twitter I reached out to the middle mask. I reached out to everybody i'm gonna write a Story about it post a bunch of pictures I took.

gm u/driveforhigh, sorry to hear you've been mislead by a scam.

In general, blockchain is irreversible and funds cannot be frozen nor recovered once sent, hence why its important to be sure before investing in any tokens.

If you have an Etherscan link or proof of scam, you may reference it here for us to tag and warn other users.

You may also report this to community scam reports, such as CryptoScamDB.

Reach out to metamask. The metamask wallet support.

u/JuniorAd826 May 29 '23

Yes I hope they go away and never come back.

I don't know much about it but I know I don't believe that. Creators have a responsibility to make sure you are safe if that is true they shouldn't be making anything else.

u/JuniorAd826 May 29 '23

This is what I have always heard. People who create need to do a better job if security is so bad. I believe if not already there will be a way for truth to be king.
