What worse case scenario given then fact I have only 14$ on this wallet and of course not intend to deposit anymore funds to that wallet

If someone already has the seed phrase to your wallet, simply abandon that wallet for ever, good as you said you don't have any intention of sending any money to that wallet again.

What I did advice you do is try to see how you can withdraw your $14 out of that wallet to a new wallet, this you can do by sending a very small amount of gas fee enough to only transfer the tokens out, if the fee remains in the wallet, then immediately transfer your tokens out before the scammer gets it first, but if the gas fee you sent was immediately moved to the scammer's wallet, then just forget about that and the $14 in it and move, and make sure not to make the same mistake that you made that handed the scammer your wallet seed phrase.

If someone gets your wallet phrase, they have complete access to your crypto. Unfortunately, in that situation, your funds are likely lost. However, if you still have some access to your wallet , you can try transferring them to a new wallet.

More importantly, figure out how someone got your wallet phrase. This will help you prevent future theft. Always remember, securing your new wallet is crucial. Losing a wallet with a significant amount of crypto would be devastating.

Generally wallet is own secret matter its not right to share about wallet with anyone fund is completely own so do your own it is not right to share with anyone. How much money is in your wallet, what is the password of the money bag, etc. If you share with someone, later it will be seen that there is a possibility of your wallet being hacked, so to save from hackers, you must always maintain privacy.

Privacy is very important in the crypto space. A little fade away to expose your privacy may lead to lose of all your funds. It's even dangerous entering various website with your main wallet. This can make scammers to have access to your wallet.

I agree with you. Nowadays a lot of new projects offering lucrative Airdrops rewards but you need to connect your wallet in their website some newbie people's connect their wallet to participate in airdrops, but after that they claimed their tokens are stolen because scammers got access in their wallets, so some people's lost their private key in such way.

The early the better for you to move your token to another wallet address, before the person we change his/her mind. Secondly cryptocurrency business is a business of sharing wallet phase code or private key, it's a personal business and hold your wallet phase code as handle your local Bank ATM card password.

I have also encountered cases where only the gas fee was sent. In other words, the tokens in the wallet cannot be sent because every time you send BSC, the BSC will be immediately sent to another address. Being careful is the most important thing in crypto.

This is a step that must be done quickly, don't let the person who has access to the wallet get ahead of you, because I have experienced this when entering ethereum coins for transaction fees and it turns out it only takes a matter of seconds they immediately finished the contents of their wallet

Yeah we should not delay while passing the token if we know the access of the wallet it will not take time to scam. The number of scammers has increased to increase the price of the tokens so it should not be delayed even a second. Wallet keys should be kept in a safe place for future transactions.

why do you ask again when you find out that your wallet phrase is already in someone else's hands? it is clear that this person will have access to your wallet and at any time he can withdraw the assets in your wallet. i'm quite surprised that you know how to make a deposit, but even with basic knowledge like this you still can't understand it.

In fact, what is the point of depositing our wallet when we know already that it was compromised? That is the stupidest decision we have ever made.
So instead of keeping that wallet, better create another where you are certain that it was all yours.

Well, a lot of people experience hacking incidents because they are still using an exposed wallet. Even if they notice unauthorized transactions, they still ignore them and continue using them. If we think about the security of our funds, no way we could think if using a compromised wallet but rather have a new one. Security is a must and we can't just set aside or ignore if we detect any unknown logins as that is an indication of something we don't want to happen someday.

You own the pen

The least you can do is send the remaining balance to your other wallet that is not compromised or else when you think you can use it without a problem, you will find your funds missing because the hackers will only snatch it away when they find out that you have deposit some more cryptos in there. That's why people keep changing their wallets in order to secured it even more at least most of them changed it once per year in order not to forget their seed phrases and to renew the securities of their crypto funds. Also, it would help if you got ready to create one wallet for your safety in the future as well, to act fast whenever you sense someone can open your crypto wallet beside you.

If it's not too late, it's best to send the remaining coins or tokens you have to a new wallet and forget about the wallet you currently have. However, we will never know what that person did. This also happened to me, and the person sent all the assets I owned to his personal wallet. To avoid anything that doesn't happen, you should update and secure all the accounts you have.

there are two possibilities.
1. Someone already knows your wallet phrase because you didn't keep it properly. maybe your friend or someone close to you.
2. Your wallet is connected to a phishing site. This usually happens when you participate in an airdrop and you connect your wallet to claim rewards.
change your wallet immediately and be careful next time.

It's not about greed.
I made a mistake and bought Retik Tokens in presell which result that I probably won't see nothing from it, on the other hand I know someone who can do something and get my eth back(eth which I bought these tokens with),for that matter he need the control (with my wallet secret phrase).

I know it sound extrmely scammy but ,worse case is he will get the crappy retik tokens(currently hadn't been claimed yet...and plus 14$)...

On the other hand , if it not a scam like I can get my eth back...he asked me to move all my assets from my wallet before getting control of it. He was honest on that thing

Yes, that whole thing sounds fishy! What does he get out of it? nobody just does stuff for free, right? Especially something that seems like it might take some effort.
It doesn't make sense that someone would be willing to do it for free, so you have to ask what's their angle? Its very likely they have some hidden agenda you don't know about.

Okay, so how are you going to make sure that after the recovery, he is going to give the recovered ETH back to you instead of keeping it along with the $14 and the tokens kept in your wallet since he would have complete access to it? Even if he was honest with you and said that you should empty the wallet before handing it over to him, you shouldn't trust someone like that with your wallet even if it doesn't have a lot of funds in it.
I understand your point that it isn't a lot of money for him to steal but still, I don't understand what he would do after accessing your wallet for the recovery process, cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible after all.

You probably have mistakenly exposed your wallet seed phrase somewhere. The way seed phrase is structured, it can't be broken by anyone, not even a hacker can break the special functions it was pass through to create you a seed of 12-24 special words. It's either you didn't back it up well in safe place or you did back it up properly but you didn't keep it in a safe place and another person has seen it and was fast to send it out to another wallet destination.

What you should do next time, if you want a safe and secure wallet, you should use a hardware wallet. It's more secure and safe than the software wallet. Unless you exposed your seed phrase to anyone, it can't be compromise because your keys are actually not connected to the internet. But, it doesn't mean you should misplaced it anywhere unsafe or in unsafe hands, if they know your pin, your coins will be wipe off. Stay guarded next time.

Best thing is to stop using the wallet and create a new one. Then transferred your $14 into an exchange wallet that way the scammer won't be able to trace your new wallet. Try to be careful with your phrase next time.

You are always advised not to share your seed phrase with anyone for security purposes but since you have already discovered that someone has it meaning that the person can have access to your funds regardless of the amount, abandon the wallet, get a new one and make sure you don't expose it again. You can also help yourself by getting a stronger password and something very long that can't easily be memorized by anyone.

If the wallet you have is no longer safe, it's a good idea to switch to another popular wallet that has a five star rating by making a new one and storing the keys safely so that the money in your wallet doesn't disappear again. Because now there are various wallets available, you just have to choose one of them

It doesn't matter about the rating if that wallet is non-custodial. Most wallets right now support multi chain and provide a wide range of services to their customers. It doesn't cost anything and there is no limit of creating a new wallet so i agree that if that wallet is compromised, its better to move on to a new wallet if there are still funds left then transfer it to the new wallet if that's possible. There isn't any way to secure that wallet anymore if its not a multi sig wallet.

The best way is to change your wallet, that's the only way. if someone else already knows the key, if you force you to continue then you have to be prepared for your funds to be drained and he will closely monitor the activities of your wallet contents in the future so this experience will be a valuable lesson so that in the future you can guard your wallet key properly
