Well, shit happens.
Hopefully you won't fall for shit like that again.


You did the two things MEW told you not to do:
Let this serve as a warning to other members.

- Entering your private key on a website dangerous. If our website is compromised or you accidentally visit a different website, your funds will be stolen.
Please consider:
MetaMask or A Hardware Wallet or Running MEW Offline & Locally

 - If you must, please double-check the URL & SSL cert. It should say https://www.myetherwallet.com & MYETHERWALLET LLC [US] in your URL bar.

We can hardly find lost accounts.
What we should do is to be more careful when trading or not to click on suspicious links. You should use anti-virus software, anti-Key-log, use an anonymous browser.
Anyway, condolences with you. Sad

Thanks for your message! I can't believe I fell for it, everytime I read some warnings I think "yeaah I am smarter than that". Total brain-lag from my side here... but believe me it won't happen again

is there maybe a way to lock the account for this guy? I have a few small assets there, but if I transfer ETH back to the account he will just use it to rob me more
