GM everyone,
I messed up bad. This isn’t my world at all. I had been careful the last 3 years. And I lost a good chunk of what was supposed to be my future.
I was reviewing a taiko post on X yesterday. It was just a gif promoting for the upcoming airdrop. I had clicked the post and then got up for a minute to do something and just completely lost focus.
When I came back there were some messages below the post with a link to what I thought was taiko. I ignored everything that I’ve ever learned about online security out of excitement. The nonce came up with a big “Most likely a scam” message or something in my coinbase wallet. I clicked it accept anyway. Nonce came up again, but in my inexperience, I confused what was happening. In Chrome, depending on what site you go to, Metamask extension sometimes conflicts with coinbase wallet extension, I guess maybe if there isn’t a option to use one of those wallets. I’m not really sure. I thought this was just my extensions miscommunicating and I’m still super excited and hit accept on the next nonce, then accept on another. When the 4th or 5th popped up I realized something wasn’t right and sure enough, about 5 ETH gone.
I don’t know what to do. I found this tool to help track what happened but I feel like a 3rd grader looking for the Zodiac Killer. This is the wallet address where my tokens were.

I was talking with an account on X to help with crypto recovery if that is even a real thing and I feel like I’m about to get scammed again. The account said “I will have to rewrite a contract which you will deploy from your end to the system miner” and “The smart contract will carry a geopy python tool and a malware which will attack the target to attain credentials using the transaction hash extracted from the address you sent above as a point of contact”. I don’t know how to verify what this person is saying to keep from getting deeper in the hole, but I don’t know where else to turn.
I am open to suggestions, moral support, degrading comments, anything to pick me up from this.
