Topic: Stake phishing - page 10. (Read 1327 times)

First, let me point out that the fact that this did not happen all the while that your balance was low, but only happened as soon as you hit the 10,000 dollar benchmark is pure coincidence, this is nothing but coincidence because there is no way scammers or hackers can track individual wallets that is associated with stake, stake is a centralized gambling casino, and like we all know, most centralized platforms make use of one wallet system, this simply means that funds belonging to users of that platform are stored in one wallet, usually is cold or hot wallet, what users now see as account balances is the number entered by the system into the user's account when the user made a deposit, this number we now be reduced  or increased accordingly by the system as the user plays games and losses or wins, so it is some kind of impossible for scammers or hackers to monitor a user's wallet on a centralized platform like stake.com.

And secondly, you falling victim to the phishing site is clearly your fault, whether or not stake's security is high or low end, you said you only play with your mobile phone, stake has a login system that keeps you logged in forever as soon as you log in the first time and did not log out, when you clicked and opened the phishing site, I believe you were asked to log in, that should have been a pointer to you that you are in the wrong site, but unfortunately, I believe you were too careless to notice and by yourself, you gave out your login details to the scammer, how and why then are you blaming stake for your own mistake?

Damn, this is really bad.... and it can happen with anybody, because this month Stake gave 3 x Monthly bonuses, so you would have thought that it was one of them.

You should think that a hacker would realize that the 2FA stopped them from withdrawing the money, so they would leave the money ...but it is as if the anger let them deliberately sabotage your account, by betting all of it.

Stake even blocked the tipping of the money without the 2FA ...so they cannot even tip an Alt account to withdraw it from another account.   

I was viper out. Hacker made 1st limbo bet it was winner. And he made 2nd bet on mines which was looser, 3rd limbo again looser. All bets were made in LTC 160, 155 and 168 ltc . After 3rd bet 29$ left in my account out of 10500 USD..


Funny thing is this exact scenario was reported aprox 6 to 8 months before and I was suspecting player made it and lost it and now producing stories. As the bets were huge . I exactly remember player claimed it was not him.

Stake definetly has more genius devs than me so I asked them to look up IP and devices associated with those bets but they refuse to reply. I only play through my phone and all other sessions it says android and location except that 1 login.

Funny thing is I was actively trying to go in slots at this point and when I see balance I freaked out went straight to support asking if anybody withdrew or tip and support showed me I made 3 beta and lost.

2 questions I had at this time
1) I was betting in USD so how suddenly it chabged to LTC value suddenly.
2)It was merely 20 seconds to load slots so sxammer waited till I was done playing with game I was playing patiently?

I still can't digest this whole situation and not getting any response from their tech devs

Do share some of your achievements online such as social media or group of friends because that might be the reason for you to become a target no one can target you if you are descreet on your account. Stake has a lot of players actively playing so doing this kind scam attempt is very hard to believe.

You will not be hacked if you check carefully the email regardless if the Stake itself or some hacker sent it to you since your account will not be compromised if you protect it well. This stroy of yours is a good worning to be vigilant on phishing attempt via email but not the point of doubting Stake credibility for potentially being involved on this malicious scam attempt just because you are near to rank up your vip level.

I think they need to verify it first before they act or refund you. I doubt if they'll refund you on that unless it's proven because if that bet have won they wouldn't definitely get it on your account. If you've been phished that's definitely not stake''s fault in the first place.

If the link you clicked has gone through and you input your credentials the hacker should have get it. You have been so lucky you probably have good security on your account set or else that would have been wiped out. Again, you're still just speculating and you don't have any proof/s yet if it was really done by Stake itself.

BTC so been playing on stake for 3 years.
Last Sunday my balance went from 8 k to 10k I got phishing mail and I clicked thinking it was legit bonus as I was nearing level up.

I was phished and my funds were gambled on 3 bets.
I was surprised why hacker didn't cashout. May be 2FA.

But biggest surprise was phishing link received after certain amount reached. Could hacker potentially be scanning wallet and only trying to scam for bigger account?

Could they be getting too much success that they just decide to act only after certain amount level is reached.

I wont doubht that because I am not the first one being phished and funds stolen/misused. I see time to time victims and stake does not try to improve its security or they don't care about their players at all.

After loosing funds I was so angry and try every avenue to acknowledge Eddie and their tech support but I havent even gotten 1 reply from them yet.

Just venting and warning other users that stake.com is not safe and more certainly they don't care if their security is poor. They will just say account security is players responsibility.

Be safe out there and try to avoid suck irresponsible site.

Peace .
