I just got drained for $996,000 š§µ Iām honestly still processing that this happened and even writing it out feels completely unreal. I just spent the last 24 hours looking into it, wiping out all my devices, and moving my files. Part of me was considering whether I should even
It started with this account https://x.com/SparkTokenSOL (DO NOT INTERACT WITH ANY LINKS ON THIS PAGE) hitting me up. Every coin has a community page so I didnāt really think anything of it. It has engagement from the founder, I had some solid mutuals, and some of my friends who are
I scheduled a call and because I thought this was a reputable page, I thought nothing of it.
On the first call, I spoke with a very well-spoken man who introduced himself as Dan. He had an American accent, proper vocabulary, solid delivery and everything. He walked me through his ābackground with Spark,ā the projects they were building, and some plans they had for
After about a 30 minute call, they planned to connect me with āanother co-founderā of the $SPARK community. Nothing felt off and I even checked a couple of the wallets I had on my pc which had all the money sitting safely inside.
Two days go by, all my money is still safe, and I hopped on another call with them. This time, it was āDan,ā his cofounder āCory,ā and a girl named āEmilyā who was there to take notes on the meeting. Same thing, nothing out of the ordinary, more backstories, plans, and
About 2 days later, I was sitting in front of my PC with a couple of my best friends. We werenāt even talking about crypto, just looking at countries to travel and planning flights with my birthday coming up in a few days. Weād been rotting inside just grinding for months now
Iām still trying to fully process that moment. One second Iām planning a trip with my friends and the next, a million is ripped from my hands. After the shock wore off, I started doing some deeper research. Yes, I know I shouldāve done this before, but thatās why Iām telling you
The lesson learned is that you can never just skim the surface in crypto. Regardless of whatever mutuals you have, do your own research first. I will also, and advise you guys to do the same, never join any sort of third party call whatsoever (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google
Also, to be clear, that million wasnāt my entire net worth and Iām extremely grateful that I had a majority of my money in cold wallets and fiat, but there was no reason for me to have a full million sitting on a pc if it wasnāt all in a trade. From here on out, Iām only keeping
Itās a truly sickening feeling. Not like a red candle you can blame on a bad trade but straight up robbery. As much as I want revenge, I know itās a lost cause and the only thing I can really do is move forward. By the end of this month, Iāll make back every single dollar I
So if thereās one thing you take away from this: Stay paranoid. Do your research. Protect your size. And if you do get hit, itās never over. You can always come back stronger. I want to be clear ā Iām not posting this for pity or sympathy. This was completely my fault. I
@notalexchoi Bless you bro. Of course, this really can happen to anyone, and you shouldn't beat yourself up over it - it was only a mistake. I'm glad that you shared this with everyone. I know how tough it can be to openly speak about because it's actually happened to me as well. I lost over
@notalexchoi I'm sorry, but as sad as it is, it's difficult to believe that the calls were the cause of the attack. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) use various methods to execute this type of attack. If this attack is indeed real, it's important to understand what makes you a target. Itās
@notalexchoi Welcome to the future of finance, kids! You wrote a whole lot of words but didnāt provide any specific information about what happened. You think you learned something here but you havenāt because you didnāt identify how you lost your crypto. You canāt lose things simply by
@notalexchoi so how am I supposed to book meetings without having a risk of getting scammed by 1 million dollars really sorry btw, good luck in the future and learn from your mistakes.
@notalexchoi @grok is this a real tweet or a troll?
@notalexchoi Iam sorry for you. It happened to me as well with the same kind of method. They asked me to join a call for a partnership for produce music for a crypto exchange. I was even more stupid. I lost everything!!!
@notalexchoi I was drained of my account without ever opening a link, nothing. I lost everything I had, 200k. I feel lost and tired. My only alternative is to end myself. I feel like garbage, how can this happen.
@notalexchoi Iām so sorry to hear. I know youāre not asking for any money but from a guy whoās been drained before to another, I have some spare that Iām willing to send across. Let me know your wallet
@notalexchoi Iām not even trolling tho happened to me for just shy of 800k, I most certainly know better and am still very much struggling to accept the reality of the loss and all that comes with it. š¤¦š»āāļøI think itās great what youāre doing, at least your intentions are great, I agree if you
@notalexchoi And thatās why you use a ledger guys, lesson learned, if u have money u canāt afford to lose ok phantom or anywhere outside a cold wallet u deserve to handle the consequences
@notalexchoi Guy: If my loss prevents this from happening to even one person, then it wasnāt all for nothing. Just want to help others. . Also same guy: Continue elaborate on 10-post thread of emotions and social circumstances... without providing a single detail on what actually happened.
@notalexchoi You are a sandwich idiot.
@notalexchoi " i got drained take a picture of me rq "
@notalexchoi Not to be rude (and sorry if this actually happened to you), but a few things to point out, since there are also a lot of people to use these kind of stories to farm engagement: - Why the picture? Like it was taken live at the moment it happened? Itās good for engagement, ngl
@notalexchoi šššwanted to connect with a founder, fake ass memecoin twitter, clicks link, uses im assuming zoom for the ācallā and omits some stuff, cmon guys this shit is an iq test at this point
@notalexchoi Is this the old I spent all my profit and have to evade taxes excuse? Or is this apart of the engagement posts that have gone around with the botted accounts getting drained?
@notalexchoi How did they pull it off though? Through the video meeting? I donāt get how they drained all your accounts just by talking to them
@notalexchoi lol this guy is a rage baiter he's trying to sell you his course but is a well known fraudster. he did not get drained - who posts a picture of themselvses getting drained. can you imagine him getting up as soon as he gets drained that he needs to setup his camera, get the
@notalexchoi For me, every attempt against my wallets failed.. 2wice already this year. you know why? Any wallet I keep on my PC are testnets. Test wallets... MetaMask Phamtom.. all tests accounts. not 1 single real wallet. Then I keep real and live wallet on my iPhone. And you see that
@notalexchoi sorry for your loss brother got drained a few weeks ago too and i know exactly how it feels you'll make it back in no time though
@notalexchoi Bro Iām depressed after getting drained for my whole networth (20k+) I never did anything wrong⦠just had the same wallet for too long maybe
@notalexchoi Hey, really sorry to hear about what happened thatās an absolutely brutal loss. Thank you for sharing it so openly; itās a powerful reminder for the entire community. Depending on how the drain occurred (smart contract exploit, phishing, wallet compromise, etc.), there may be
@notalexchoi For those who still donāt know how he got drained and no, itās not about Google Meet PM me and Iāll tell you how.
@notalexchoi Let me just set up my tripod and get a photo for the lame and obvious engagement farming thread Im making.
@notalexchoi After working 10 years as a cyber security analyst I learned one hard truth: the riskiest part of crypto isnāt the blockchain, itās you. Your phone, your WiFi, your bad habit of clicking too fast. Hackers donāt beat math, they beat people.
