After 4 years invested in this space I’ve been scammed in the most basic and stupid way: I inserted my seed phrase in a site that I thought was legit.
The scam built a replica of Swell Network site (that i will link if you are curious) , which is a L2 in which I’ve been investing for about one year for 2 reasons: i believe in the project and a possible airdrop.
Recently I had problem with new feature Swell L2 (the restaking mechanism didn’t work), tried contacting the assistance by searching on the web and landed on the site that I thought legit. After all day spent with the fake assistant I fell in the trap and in 10 minutes all my tokens where gone.
I saved 30$ of ETH with a fast transaction to another not compromised wallet.
Fortunately this was the wallet i used to farm airdrop and try new app, losing about 0.05 ETH.
I write this post to tell my experience and warn you to never use your main portfolio to farm airdrop and test things (like me). Maybe you are more expert than me and wouldn’t fall, maybe you will remember me and stay safe.
