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
Well how did you know in the first place that someone have your wallet phrase? Did they intentionally left you with that $14 and thinking that you might deposit more and then with their bot, gonna steal it from you. And if you have still have the 14$ then why not transfer it to a new wallet? Moral lesson here is that you should know how to protect your wallet seed or password and do not trust anyone. And maybe I would advise to as well to format your PC if there is a malware there that will steal all your crypto. So just be careful as well on clicking any links, again it might compromised your PC or laptop.

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).

They don't need your passphrase to simply send coins. If they need to send a custom transaction from your wallet, it still can be signed on your own computer. If they want to confirm that address of yours, use arbitrary message signing. Don't ETH wallets support all of this?

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

So you gave your wallet recovery seed to someone you know? if he has warned you to move your assets. then do it, leave the wallet empty. there is a high probability that you will lose the tokens that you mentioned in your participation in the presale.
The outcome of this case is not yet known, right? So try to have a good relationship with that person. I hope you are not cheated in your case.

How did it happen? Did it happen to you?Have you shared your wallet seed phrase with others?

You might have shared your wallet seed phrase with someone who hacked your wallet or someone else has your wallet. You said you had $14 dollars in that wallet if your $14 dollars is not transferred by that hacker or other person to another wallet then you transfer it to your new wallet very fast And you create a new wallet. Creating your new wallet now applies to you because someone else has access to your previous wallet so whatever funds you deposit will go to someone else.

Worse case is you forgot that someone got access of that wallet and everytime you deposited funds it will automatically be retrieved by orher person.  Theres a lot of event whereas hackers gained access on wallet and install some drainer bot. I think if manually hacked its fine cause if ever youll get a chance to overtake his action if you are able to do it first but if its a drainer bot Im not sure about that. Better to change address soon as long as you knew your wallet is compromise.

Best thing is to learn from your mistake and move on, never share your seed phrase with anyone no matter the circumstances or persuasions, it's your secret phrase, and remember that as many people that you shared your seed phrase with, you've also shared the ownership of the coins inside with them and anyone of them can have access to it. So just open a new wallet and transfer the coins from the compromised wallet into it, never send any coin into the compromised wallet again, no matter how insignificant the amount is.

If someone already has your seed phrases and if they know how to use a cryptocurrency wallet they will not leave anything in your wallet. By now the wallet should have been empty and you should have nil balance. Considering they do have those phrases then transfer the balance to a new wallet and don't even accidentally reveal your seed phrases of the new wallet to anyone online or offline. The best thing you can do is to learn from your mistakes.

Just go and creat another wallet and be careful next time. Because next time you might not be luck as this. Who knows what would have happened to you if you had a huge amount of money in it. That is why they always tell or warn people about keeping there pass phrase in a safe and secure place to avoid hack. Because if hackers don have your details I don't think they have anything to do with you.

Yes, as some of them say. You should immediately create a new wallet and forget your known wallet, and also immediately move $14 to the new wallet.
And my question is, how can someone know your starting phrase and you need to know it for your lessons so that it doesn't happen again.
Actually, you can solve this problem yourself without having to create a thread, and I think you already know that this wallet address is very secret and only you know it.

having your wallet phrase known by other people is as good as having your wallet ownership shared between you and that other people and there's definitely no way to revoke that, your wallet will be known to them forever, its like giving second master key to your wallet to them.
best course of action is just to ditch it, while you have $14 possibly move it to the other wallet that you just created that aren't known by the other party.
and as you stated above, it seemed his advice is legit and hes willing to help you and even advice you to move your money, why don't you just do what he advised though.
that could definitely could save you from the headache but if you think its too complicated for just $14 and youre fine with it i guess youre fine.
but always remember to create new wallet that aren't known by any other people in the future, dont ever use that wallet you shared ever again.

Just forget that wallet and how did you ever gave that seed phrase of yours to that person? Don't do the same mistake in the nearest future as we're about to get into the bull run.

This is the hard part when the market is like this, the scammers are also aggressive and taking advantage of someone's greediness.

Don't be greedy, maybe telling us the whole story on how you ended up giving it to that guy. I'm guessing that this is related to airdrop or recovery or anything that you have encountered with a problem.

It's not about greed.

How do you that the person has your seed phrase, did he withdraw the funds already because some of these cannot be about someone holding your seed phrase alone but can also be tracked back to things like phishing. So it is best that you find out how that wallet got compromised.

Just as you have pointed out the worst is that the hacker spends the $14 funds which cannot be recovered again so do not fall for tricks of people saying that it can be recovered. The advice for you is to abandon that wallet and never deposit again on that wallet. Use cold storage for large amounts of storage.

if someone already has your pharse wallet, just change the addres immediately. the existing balance sends to the new addres. if you still use it when there is a lot of balance, you will definitely lose your coins.

The right word should be change of wallet because a single wallet can multiple address that can be assessed by one seed phrase, so if a seed phrase is compromised then that entire wallet is compromised and no need to change address
