Topic: problem with my ETH balance ! (Read 279 times)
Your wallet has been hacked, there is no hope of repairing it and letting go of the balance in the wallet is the last thing without having to do anything else. because hackers will always monitor you when you will transact and they will send it faster than you,
This looks very strange to me and I've never in anyway experienced this kind of problem before. There might be something wrong somewhere and I am not sure that your wallet had been compromised. This looks like someone you know is doing this to you since the usdt is still intact.
Seem like the wallet is not owned by you 
Why? because based on your explanation there has some "USDT" in the wallet and you tried to sent them. If the address is owned by you, most the time you connected to phishing site and the scammer will empty your wallet.
You find the wallet right on randomly internet with private key or seed ? the wallet has been set up by smart-contract, each time there has some transaction will automatically transfer to other wallet.
USDT in the wallet just the bait for people to send some ETH for the gass fee, is already old school scam method.

That's what I was thinking, it's definitely the wallet that's being spread on social media, and this is a pretty old form of scam for us, but it looks like the OP has caught the hacker's trap. If his wallet is hacked, all his USDT will be moved, unlike what he said.
OP, you should stay away from those wallets, they are scams, and you will have no way to get USDT in them. Don't be greedy when it's not yours, make your own money instead of expecting free stuff in this market.
If someone very quickly transfers ETH, which in this case is used as a transaction fee, and this happened repeatedly, then the attacker has full ownership of the trust wallet and all the contents that are in it. It doesn’t even make sense for him to freeze USDT, because they cannot be transferred without ETH as a gas payment. You need to withdraw all the cryptocurrency from this wallet as quickly as possible and delete it. You also need to analyze how the wallet fell into the hands of an attacker. Sometimes hackers first crack the e-mail password, and through it they see all the saved passwords. Therefore, any passwords and private keys of wallets should not be stored on your device.

thank you my friend, maybe yes this is a scam!
but I didn't realize how the hacker just accessed ETH and don't have access to USDT ?! if they have seed I think they can access all my funds! no?!
i think maybe if i try to import this wallet on another wallet application (like electrum) with a 2FA password maybe I can stop accessing from the hacker ?! is it possible?
is there any other way to pay the network fees with other crypto or any other ways to save my money?
please tell me what you guess. thank you

Does this happen through your PC?If so do you have any other wallet beside Trust wallet that you have other type of cryptos there but compared to the Trust wallet you can operate normally?If you have such other wallet that operates normally it only means one thing that either you got some random seed in the internet or someone has compromised your Trust wallet,however it is most likely the first scenario you got the random seed in the internet because if the hacker had compromised Trust wallet and your PC he would probably be able to install a keylogger to your PC and get other seeds or passwords from it,even your credit card if you type it while you are infected.
actually i have some USDT (ERC-20) in my wallet (trust wallet) and when i wanna withdraw that, i need some ETH for Network fee , but whenever i transfer some ETH to wallet to do that , surprisingly somebody in just a second transfers that ETH !!
Means someone compromise your account, cause that is not normal if theres a transaction you dont know either you create new wallet and transfer your funds. There is a chance also that spam bot scam your wallet so dont click any suspicious link.

It is possible to have USDT in a wallet and don't have ETH. It is also possible that the wallet is not his and is a victim of a scam where someone put their private key in public with some usdt in it and seep any ETH deposits when someone try to move the USDT.
But I do not think @OP is a victim of that scheme since he is worried about someone sweeping all his tokens in that address.
I think your wallet is hacked, i faced problem as like that back in 2017. When i need to deposit eth for gas fee, but within few seconds it’s automatically transferred in another address before i move my tokens, i didn’t find any solution. Most provably your wallet is controlled by bot which is implemented by hacker otherwise how it’s possible to transfer within a few seconds.
Indeed this is what I am saying on my first reply in this thread.
You aren’t making sense just yet, what do you mean by immediately you transfer the Ethereum another person transfers it, do you mean when you transfer it another person immediately transfers that same Ethereum away from your trust wallet account?
Well I think it maybe from someone who you have ignorantly allowed access to you account. Rather than trying any further why not create another trust wallet and transfer the Usdt from the old trust wallet into it.

He can't do what you are suggesting him to do since ETH meant for gas fee is emptied out a second after it is confirmed.

Electrum only supports Bitcoin, unfortunately. Just like what you have said, in order to move your USDT you need to have ETH. But their bot is programmed to steal your ETH only and not the USDT that you have. So you are in a dilemma on how to move your USDT then without the hacker accessing your ETH. Not sure how much USDT you have in your wallet, but it could be dead end for you.
And it's obvious that you have been hacked, there could be a malware in your system right now monitoring your wallets every move.
There are two possibilities, the wallet is not yours or your wallet got hacked.
It is unlikely that a hacker implements an auto-sender bot into someone else's wallet, especially if their intention is to hack a wide range of people. What has been widely done by a scammer is that they set up a wallet, filled with a ton of funds on a token but zero-ing the native token. But, getting your wallet hacked, and then the scammer implementing the bot is also possible. It depends on the initial intention or scheme of the scammer.
After all, for the sake of the thread. No, there is no way to access the funds given how the wallet is already set up.

Because that is how the scam scheme operated. Yes.i think maybe if i try to import this wallet on another wallet application (like electrum) with a 2FA password maybe I can stop accessing from the hacker ?! is it possible?

No, and No.is there any other way to pay the network fees with other crypto or any other ways to save my money?

hello my friends, I have some problems with crypto's!
actually i have some USDT (ERC-20) in my wallet (trust wallet) and when i wanna withdraw that, i need some ETH for Network fee , but whenever i transfer some ETH to wallet to do that , surprisingly somebody in just a second transfers that ETH !!
i dont know why and how its possible ! maybe i'm hacked ! and again i dont know why the hacker didnt touch my USDT's !
tried many times but its repeating !
as an information, i have my seed words .
so what you think ?! hacked ? how can i solve this? i really need that money.
thank you guys.
You have to tell us if you generated that wallet on your own and it did not had any coins at all and then at some point you deposited USDT and now you are facing this problem, or you found some seed words over the Internet and there was some USDT in one of the addresses and you are trying to get them my depositing some ETH, if it is the first scenario the behavior of the hacker makes no sense at all, this is why I and the rest of the community thinks it is the second scenario which is at play, and if that is the case then you just fell victim of a scam and you will never recover whatever ETH you sent to that address. actually i have some USDT (ERC-20) in my wallet (trust wallet) and when i wanna withdraw that, i need some ETH for Network fee , but whenever i transfer some ETH to wallet to do that , surprisingly somebody in just a second transfers that ETH !!

Is that really your wallet? Or did someone "accidentally" share his private key with you in a Telegram group or similar app?
If they have access to your seed or private key, they absolutely have access to all tokens on that wallet, including ETH and USDT, but that does not mean USDT is transferable.
i think maybe if i try to import this wallet on another wallet application (like electrum) with a 2FA password maybe I can stop accessing from the hacker ?! is it possible?
No. The private key, not any other kind of access protection you may have set up with the wallet software (such as a password), is what gives you control over your coins and tokens.
is there any other way to pay the network fees with other crypto or any other ways to save my money?
please tell me what you guess. thank you
please tell me what you guess. thank you
My best guess is that you found the wallet on a random website or social networks with private key or seed. The wallet has been set up with a script or smart-contract that will automatically transfer the funds to a new wallet address. This is a common scam these days, and if that is the case, there is nothing you can do.
Seem like the wallet is not owned by you
Why? because based on your explanation there has some "USDT" in the wallet and you tried to sent them. If the address is owned by you, most the time you connected to phishing site and the scammer will empty your wallet.

I think this is exactly what happened to him, he just didn't explain everything clearly. Although he has access to the wallet, he is not the original custodian Why? because based on your explanation there has some "USDT" in the wallet and you tried to sent them.

I'm not going to be 100% sure, but if a hacker stole Ethereum, then he can steal the rest of the funds. Using other wallets will not solve the problem.I have seen many similar scams, and I advise the author to forget about his money or write a statement to the police.
You have fallen victim to a scam and the scanner has set a bot in your wallet that instantly transfers the ETH input into your wallet to another wallet. Or the bot immediately notifies the scammer when something is input into your wallet and they transfer the funds very quickly. I have seen such incidents happen before with one of my relatives. And he wasn't able to backup anything in his wallet, the scammer got away with everything .Because the scammer was smart enough. You are also facing the same problem
Have you tried checking if you are using your main ethereum account on trustwallet? In the past, this was mistakenly change by people when trying to check some balance of their accounts.
Does you lost a lot token? technically Ethereum is a centralized token, so the developer can retrieve your token even though the scammer send it to non custodial wallet or hardware wallet. But usually they didn't want to retrieve it if the amount is small and they will blame you're the one who done wrong.
There's many cases where centralized exchange got hacked and the hacker want to send the token to his own wallet, many developer of those centralized token send back to the previous address/freeze the token.

According to my experience is that your wallet is hacked so be careful can't send your fund in this wallet otherwise you loss your fund .
Some body stolen your wallet and they can't send your fund which is already available but they send those amounts which you send a fresh .
