Hi Casters. I got scammed and lost a bunch of NFTs a few weeks ago. I posted about the experience and the valuable lessons I learned from it https://avc.mirror.xyz/VUu7-BOTlH2J-qF9SctXr17CLBFx9Xu5xr6sACXehr8
omg nooo, did they also remove your Kiwi News NFT?
Sad to hear that, thanks for sharing your lessons learned. For minting via hot wallet I highly recommend delegate.cash
scammers must be banned! sorry to hear that 🥹
Sorry to hear this and thanks for sharing. Also a good reminder that Wallet/Minting UX has a ways to go. I’m sure everyone reading this can think about a transaction they signed where it was unclear & felt like nothing happened.
Great to share this story. We need to be reminded that despite the many wonderful people in Web3, there are also scammer, and we should be aware and take measures. Hope you get the final two back.
I’m really sorry to hear that, Fred. Thank you for sharing. In the not too distant future, imo devices should have a local LLM that can analyze and warn you of potential scams in all apps.
Be careful and sorry for hearing your story. I hope your suffer can lead a bull market
Oh dear… I guess you’re one of us now. I got scammed last November and lost all my crypto and NFTs. Hard lessons learned.
So it was coinbase wallet. Any cb folks here can comment on whether changes are coming? As it is, messages are unuseable. Ability to whitelist addresses, and keep everything else in Other could be a good start. https://warpcast.com/czar/0xec9e5f
Ouch. We are trying to solve some of these problems (Evertas, insurance); I got scammed for one NFT once and it was somewhat embarrassing too on top of the $30 loss.
Kind of timely to post this here since right now there is a compromise of @dwr.eth twitter account running a similar scam against innocent victims. I tried contacting him and can’t get to him.
Solid write up, thanks for sharing. Sorry you had to go through any of it. But yeah... Everyone with significant holdings should vault them up, pronto. These scams won't get any less convincing, prevalent, or pernicious with the help of AI. Vault. Your. Shit. Folks.
sorry this happened - appreciate you sharing lessons learned
Sorry to hear that I wrote up a highly digestible piece on setting up your security foundations that people may find useful https://paragraph.xyz/@ispeaknerd.eth/personal-security-for-web3-and-beyond
Anyone aware of an NFT transfer tool that batches it all up in one and doesn't cost a ton?
I fell for the same attack, almost the same day. They stole my most valuable NFTs, as well, including my CryptoPunk. I was able to buy it back I'm currently putting together an analysis that I'll be presenting at https://cryptoconsortium.org/ Honestly, the mechanisms they used were extremely clever. It was impressive
Really sorry to hear that. Probably not helpful at this point, but I found Zengo's pro offering (https://zengo.com/pro/) pretty compelling for added security.
Ugh so sorry to hear this! Happy you were able to recover most of them!!
Thank you for sharing this is a very good reminder, about best practices and I am happy to hear that many nfts are now back in your possession
