GM /bizarrebeasts. This is not the message I planned or wanted to share today… Yesterday was a rough day for me personally, and I was handling the issue and taking some time to strategize about how to overcome the challenge. Long story short, I was in the Moxie Telegram support chat discussing an issue with my wallet and a Moxie referral claim that was not processing correctly. Through the process of handling the issue, someone pretending to be support duplicated and impersonated a Moxie tech team member – and I, unfortunately, ended up being targeted for a scam. My wallet was drained of several thousand dollars of my favorite tokens and NFTs... I checked the details for the TG account I was talking with before interacting, but the scammer did a good job of disguising their profile, which somehow even linked to a legit TG account. I was mainly tricked because I did not realize the conversation was happening with the person, not in the TG channel chat, but in a separate DM thread. (continued below)

Damn bro! So sorry to read this! It's my worst nightmare! Is your degen vault linked to that wallet too?

Yes!! 😅 it’s locked until April but I’m unsure of what to do. It’s on my list of things I need to solve. I have disconnected the wallet from my FC and connected my new one. The tips are being detected. Any thoughts or advice?

I'm not too sure tbh, the issue is that if the scammer has access to your wallet then they might be able to set something up so that when the vault unlocks they can instantly transfer it. I've heard of other people in a similar situation but not sure if any solution was found. You could try reaching out to @jacek or post in the degen channel asking for advice on the best way to try and outrun the scammer. For future claims you might be ok, when i added a new wallet to Farcaster my degen claims started going to my new wallet so now my vault and my claims are on seperate wallets. I'm not sure if that is what's meant to happen though or if mine just went weird.
