Today I have sent a little Ethereum to my address but it instantly transferred to another address. Later, I tried again sending 0.002 ETH and the same. It also transferred that same address instantly.

How to get solve this?

Maybe some smart contract code that automatically resends Ethereum and tokens from deposit address to another one?

Indeed your wallet is cmpromised, and someone somehow for your private key and access your wallet, and i think they use some program who automatically send the ETH after you send it, you should use another wallet and maybe a option should be to buy a hardware wallet, which will protect you better.

My niece was once careless when registering for a bounty. He submitted his private key instead of his wallet address (MEW), while there were several tokens that were of high value. Eth stored inside was drained and remaining tokens were slowly sent out too. Twice I and my friend at a different location, tried to help him by sending a number of gas fees to pull out tokens that still had value. I had the role of sending in a number of gas fees, while my friend would immediately sent out certain tokens shortly thereafter. However, everything didn't work properly, eth that came in wasn't even seen by me and my friend, after being reloaded many times, the eth has been sent out again to another address. I didn't know this because our internet connection was inadequate or something else. What was clear, the perpetrator was always faster. So, we just gave up.
I'm sorry I can't give any advice or solution, I just hope you can figure out how to solve your problem.

Immediately stop using this address. It is hacked. Just forget about it, and never send Ether into this - Ether will always get to the address of the attacker.

So the sender/receiver's address is not an exchange but a personal address and as I can understand the receiving address is compromised which has your tokens and your tokens are still on the address. Is it right? Are those tokens locked by any chance as if your address is compromised, locked tokens cannot be sent even if the wallet is compromised.

Sorry for what happened to you OP but because my wallet also once was compromised earlier where I lost $200, I hope it doesn't happen to you and you can get your tokens back if possible.

Honestly, I never know bots can be places on a wallet address when private key has-been compromised and funds redirecting. This is actually new to me but with this being the case maybe you should try to see if you can remove the bot. Also you should have used a trusted wallet

That's just logical isn't it? If someone does have your private key putting a bot up for that wallet shouldn't be too hard for a hacker.

Some where i have heard that ETH got hacked and it was hacking all the wallets whose passwords are easy and they are cracking the password and hacking the wallets and after hacking they are placing the bot in that wallet that what ever eth you send to that address it will automatically send to the hackers address.

But i am seeing before this is happening hackers have given useless token in bulk and made users to send eth to their address to utilize that token but they are hacked. Nice trick

I'm not sure if that address owner has my private key, if he has, why my token isn't moved yet.
It's like a contract made by the hacker. I have no idea how to get out of this problem.
I just want to send my tokens on another address, since when I send eth to my address and it's being transferred within seconds, I am not able to pay the gas fee.

I think I remember it now, there was this person who sends his ETH address with its private key, inside the address a large number of tokens worth a thousands of dollars, but the problem is, there is no gas fee for transaction so the people who see the address are excited to send some eth to that address so that they can get all of the tokens from it. unfortunately after any amount of eth sent to that address it automatically sent it to another address. little they know they are being scammed in a professional way, the reason the person did not get that tokens, its because he used it to lure more people to send some gas fee to that address so he can get more money from it. he goes to every telegram group to send that address so he can lure more people. I think this is the same as your wallet, he didn't get the token because he knows he can get more money when you send some eth to that wallet.

The address was created by me, the tokens are mine. I have deposited that tokens long time ago.
However, seems like no way to get out of it. It's a bit weird that I can't get out of this. If anyone can help, please reply here or PM me.

I'm sorry to everyone if I was really too harsh.

How is it happening? I mean the instant transfer? Is it any kind of a contract?

Yes, a smart contract, if ever the address is a contract address, with forwarder function generate by the hacker, you can see it when you access your eth address to the etherscan Code tab - https://etherscan.io/address/your_address_here#code.
If not, then the hacker just sent the ether manually.

Its a bot which instantly transfers any incoming coins to another address. Scan the redirected address via etherscan, I am sure there are lots of incoming transactions per day ...

Sadly if this is the case you dont have any chance to transfer your tokens out, they are gone Sad

If you're referring to this https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/34143/my-ether-has-been-automatically-sent-to-another-address/34167
Then like what I said your address is not safe to use anymore. And sad to say your tokens there are stuck and cannot be transferred by you.

Btw have you try to google search your address? You might not surprise if someone used that wallet before you and encountered the same as yours.

yes, I'm referring to that thread.

I tried with google searching now and got nothing.

How is it happening? I mean the instant transfer? Is it any kind of a contract?

But I wonder why your token isn't move yet from other address while someone got access your keys.

Read this please-

Unfortunately the address you are using was generated by truffle develop and the seed used to generate it is know. So anybody can access to any funds send to that account.

I'm not sure if that address owner has my private key, if he has, why my token isn't moved yet.

I used MEW web for creating this address. My tokens are there which worths approx $500, I had sent ETH for gas fee and those ETH are instantly going to another address.

And this another address is not associated to you, right? Then I might say, that there is/are someone who has access your private keys which your address is not safe to use anymore.

You are pretty harsh while requesting help ...

I fear your mnemonic seed was stolen and someone installed a bot which automatically redirects funds when sent. If this is really the case then I am sorry, your funds are gone, someone else is controlling them now.

Do you have the transaction ids so we can have a detailed look into your problem?

I have read an article where some people mentioned that it's because of creating address through truffle. The article has been mentioned in the 2nd post..

Sorry, I wouldn't be harshed, that user was to be honest spamming here posting off topic replies. The 2nd reply from that user isn't necessary in this thread at all.

Cryptocurrency transaction are irreversible, so for starters if your wallet have been compromised by scammers there's nothing the community or you can do to retrieve back your coins. You haven't provide the deposit transaction ID or address so your issue can be properly access. For now the possible conclusionis either you're using a phishing site or downloaded a phishing wallet without knowing.

I am not using phishing site. It has been said for the 3rd time that there's no false from my side, it's because of truffle or whatever. Why don't you guys check the article mentioned by the other person.
No need to post my address here because I have shared all the details needed here. I have shared the main problem and reason behind it too. You guys are making me boring despite solving this issue if possible.

I'm sorry if I'm too harsh here.

It's my personal address, not an exchange address.

So what wallet software you used to generate this address? or what eth wallet software/website you are using?

Are you sure that you're the only one who have access of its private key? Mostly likely your device or private keys are compromised.
Since it's not an exchange wallet where they are using smart contract to send automatically when someone send eth/token amount to one of their exchange address which is not your case here.

I used MEW web for creating this address. My tokens are there which worths approx $500, I had sent ETH for gas fee and those ETH are instantly going to another address.

You haven't provide the deposit transaction ID or address so your issue can be properly access. For now the possible conclusion is either you're using a phishing site or downloaded a phishing wallet without knowing in this case you have to uninstall the wallet, clean up your device and download the correct wallet from the right source or if you're using a site like MEW make sure you're using the right site

For more precautions, you should create a new wallet and send all your coins there as your previous might have been compromised that's if non my possible conclusion above are the case.
