I can investigate if you want me to. Was it definitely a private key compromise or is there a possibility of a smart contract vulnerability being exploited?

Ah man, yeah I took a quick look at yours. I saw your cast too. Seems like a pretty standard phishing attack. Sorry for the loss. Agreed that X is definitely overflowing with these fake airdrop phishing scams.

It feels comforting hearing someone say “sorry” to me. Thank you for emphasizing with me. Do you think that there is any way to get my lost Matic back?

Yeah I know you probably felt really dumb when it happened, but honestly phishing attacks happen to the best of us. Phishing attacks wouldn't happen if they didn't work. I followed the chain a bit, and I know some of your funds ended up here: 0xb8f275fBf7A959F4BCE59999A2EF122A099e81A8...

You were more helpful to me than Polygon. Here is my ticket response: Greetings from Polygon Support Regret to inform you we are unable to assist you as this transaction is performed on scam site and we do not hold access to any wallet or contract address present on Polygon Network so we cannot revert your funds.

Ugh that sucks @bufficornqueen, I'm so sorry that happened. Unfortunately in this case looks like your funds might be lost. I guess just chalk it up to an expensive lesson. Also, Vitalik's twitter just got hacked and has posted a phishing link which many I assume will follow.

I’m sorry for Vitalik getting hacked also. I didn’t know that. Yes, people will be fooled not knowing that the link is illegitimate.

Thank you for letting me know. Crazy how someone random messaged me on X offering to return my funds, asked for a new wallet address. They explained that they had a program set up to go into the hackers wallet and take funds out/return. Some people are so low to take advantage of others when they are down.
