Hi Casters. I got scammed and lost a bunch of NFTs a few weeks ago. I posted about the experience and the valuable lessons I learned from it https://avc.mirror.xyz/VUu7-BOTlH2J-qF9SctXr17CLBFx9Xu5xr6sACXehr8

Kind of timely to post this here since right now there is a compromise of @dwr.eth twitter account running a similar scam against innocent victims. I tried contacting him and can’t get to him.

I’m really sorry to hear that, Fred. Thank you for sharing. In the not too distant future, imo devices should have a local LLM that can analyze and warn you of potential scams in all apps.

Oh dear… I guess you’re one of us now. I got scammed last November and lost all my crypto and NFTs. Hard lessons learned.

Sorry to hear this and thanks for sharing. Also a good reminder that Wallet/Minting UX has a ways to go. I’m sure everyone reading this can think about a transaction they signed where it was unclear & felt like nothing happened.

Sad to hear that, thanks for sharing your lessons learned. For minting via hot wallet I highly recommend delegate.cash

Solid write up, thanks for sharing. Sorry you had to go through any of it. But yeah... Everyone with significant holdings should vault them up, pronto. These scams won't get any less convincing, prevalent, or pernicious with the help of AI. Vault. Your. Shit. Folks.

Ouch. We are trying to solve some of these problems (Evertas, insurance); I got scammed for one NFT once and it was somewhat embarrassing too on top of the $30 loss.

So it was coinbase wallet. Any cb folks here can comment on whether changes are coming? As it is, messages are unuseable. Ability to whitelist addresses, and keep everything else in Other could be a good start. https://warpcast.com/czar/0xec9e5f

Really sorry to hear that. Probably not helpful at this point, but I found Zengo's pro offering (https://zengo.com/pro/) pretty compelling for added security.
