My story of loosing $5000 worth of LINK tokens to twitter scam

1. Binance Exchange Ether address
https://ethplorer.io/address/0x3f5ce5fbfe3e9af3971dd833d26ba9b5c936f0be


2. Transferred my 12K LINK tokens and 0.2 ETHER into below MyEther wallet address from my BInance exchange account
https://ethplorer.io/address/0x53737a5963f464201f5f55f650061d64a094a03b

I created this MyEther wallet address with intention of getting my free AIRDROP LINK tokens according the twitter scam which linked to this website.

http://linksmartcontract.com/blog/
3. Then I put myether wallet details including my private key… ( I know I’m stupid and I was really not feeling well and I wasn’t thinking for few minutes, Just for a second my brain was switched off ) and 30 mins later I logged into my ether wallet account and realise that my LINK tokens and ETHER being send to the following address and my account balance is zero.

https://ethplorer.io/address/0xf5572f804ba88a4c869641f020351cf73941cc91

https://ethplorer.io/address/0xdb37036d615e20dee825fcc6e8384517cee44321


4. And Now all my LINK tokens and ETHER sitting in the address above. Which obviously the scammer’s address and I don’t know what he’ll do next and where he’ll move my tokens… Could anyone please advise what I should do ?

I know the feeling. I fell victim to a MEW phishing and keylogger scam. Lost about $1000 but that's a fuckton for me and literally everything I had earned and put into crypto.

You know what I did immediately (after I spent the next two weeks completely depressed)? I bought a ledger nano s, something that I knew for the longest time I needed to get to protect myself. If I had bought a hardware wallet from day 1, I would have never been scammed.

There is literally nothing you can do to get those funds back. Spend the $100 and get a hardware wallet and move on. You're going to be upset the next couple weeks but soak it in and remember to make better decisions from here on out.

Thanks for everyone's comments and I really appreciate it.

I'm going to tweet this to real @SergyNazarov! And hope he'll give me some his LINK tokens.

I believe in KARMA. what goes around comes around. Stealing other people money is not good karma and it depends on the situation if this person is deep trouble for money then my money is put in good course. But I don't think thats the case..

Such a bad world we live in and I got into crypto so that wealth is redistributed amongst all the people in the world and there won't be any need to steal or killing fellow humans for money.

I really hope to everyone here becomes crypto billionaiers and together we can take this human race forward.

Hi Nathan. I don't have $5000 to spare but I can cover $1000 (worth of LINK tokens) or so of your losses.

OP we can't help you. Ever heard the phrase, you can't change the world, you can only change yourself? Same thing here, you're the only one that can help yourself right now.

Here's how:
What I need you to do is gather your fucking thoughts(no more switching off), I know everyone here(including me) will call a retard, BUT we also know that's not the case, so pull yourself together, and you'll get trough this!
As soon as you do this, I want you to go to your wallet. No, not your online crypto wallets, your actual physical irl wallet. Check how much money there is. I'm going out on a limb here, but I assume your not from a third world country., if so there should be at least, like 20$ in there, if so then good.
Next, I want you to go to the nearest supply store with those 20$, buy a fucking rope, go back home, hang it from your ceiling, or a fucking doorknob, and kys yourself you fucking retarded nigger fagget!
