I lost some $ and some token on my wallet, can anyone help me return my assets?
It is very common nowadays seeing all sorts of phishing sites whose motive is to scam unsuspecting victims, based on my personal experience most of these phishing sites mainly used people's email via a link similar to MEW, a simple click will lead you to giving out your account details unknowingly, therefore it is not advisable to click any link in you mail.

Which wallet you were using? MEW?
yes, I use My Etherwallet and verify it with Private Key? I think it will be safe  Cry
You have been a victim of phishing and there's no need to use that wallet anymore with the same private key. And crypto transactions can't be undone so when you have sent it to someone, there's no way to recover it. And as the hacker stole your tokens the only way to recover it if he's too good and will volunteer to return those tokens that he stole from you.
Well, thanks for the advice, I will not use that wallet for the future. then if I create a new Wallet is there anything I need to do to prevent this from happening again?
What you need to prevent is by falling to those phishing links and to avoid this you must bookmark the real "MEW" so that you just have to click it and you don't have to type it on any search engine. You are even more vulnerable if you decided to visit MEW by typing it's URL. And also another additional advice, try to check all of the times you are visiting MEW so that you are aware if it's the real or not. Better also use the JSON file when you are trying to access your wallet instead of private key.

The possibility is very small to return the lost assets but you can help others avoid the next victim. You can share the web phishing. I am proud of your loss. Hopefully, you can get more than your loss. In the future, we should all be careful when entering your username and password and make sure the web address is correct, safer we do bookmark on the official web.

The good and the bad and the ugly of decentralised cryptocurrencies is that you hold 100% of responsibility over your own assets. If you misuse this responsibility, nobody will be able to help you. You are the only one who can help yourself.

Unfortunately, this loss is irreversible. But it will be an invaluable experience for you. I hope that the amount was not very large and this loss will make you be more careful in the future and will allow you to save larger amounts. In the pursuit of profit, we often forget about their safety. Recently my friend, the hackers changed the e-wallet on the rig. We're all under attack.

Double check/verify the security of your current device or wherever you're basing your new wallet from, and jsut be more cautious of phising in future, always check the sites you're on particularly the url for https and a known url that matches the site you're actually trying to use check the .com/co.uk/.org etc section as well.

Sorry for your loss Sad

Damn, I'm really sorry to hear that man, I really hate people who are just too lazy to work hard and earn money in the right way and just prefer to go ahead and steal other people's cryptos which has been the fruit of their blood and tears in doing various jobs just to have enough funds to invest in the cryptos that they own or to be paid by crypto currencies from the jobs they do on bounties. But even though I feel sorry for you, I have to tell you that you should wake up and stop relying solely on your wallets and try to do more researching on how you can avoid being phished. I hope you learn from your mistakes and that others will also do because this is the reality. If you do not take care of what you have, someone will always take it away from you.

I think it is difficult and most likely you will never get back. because it is impossible to restore your token if your pc has been infected with phishing.
the only way you let it be a valuable lesson.
btw your pc's health should be in priority, especially from a kind of phishing virus

I'm not sure you can take back your tokens that have been stolen. chances are it will not work. because after all, your token has moved to someone else's wallet.
there is nothing you can do, unless you reinstall your computer. yes one one is just that and then you install with internet security, so as not to catch phishing again

How did this happen?
If a transaction was made from your wallet, then it is not possible to cancel it.
And in general, money can not be returned because it is a decentralized system

I do not know exactly what your problem is. If your account anyone knows the password better you create a new wallet for security.
I also think so, never use the wallet for the future, change your wallet so you will avoid similar events

e-mail phishing? I do not receive emails from anywhere? not new messages coming in my email inbox
The term ‘phishing’ refers to scammers ‘fishing’ for sensitive information by sending email, IM or similar messages, typically trying to lure their targets to enter their password on a fake website controlled by the scammer. Is this what happened to you?

In general, cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. If you want to help protect others from falling for the same phish, you can forward the phishing email to [email protected]. This won’t help you recover your assets though.
@bitperson then how to report such incident? is there a special format in sending e-mail reports
No, just forward the phishing email with full headers. You don’t need to use the Messaging Abuse Reporting Format (MARF) or such.

Although this is sad, the blockchain transfer is not reversible.
So you've lost this asset, but you have to give up this address as quickly as possible.
Where should I submit the report? how do i report this incident? what evidence should I attach?
