Please calm down. What does that have to do with your death? Think of it one day, there are people who bought a pizza for 10000 BTC.
Please be more understanding. OP lost the money in a time where for a lot people this is more than they would be able to safe or make in a decade. Obviously, it's not a reason to feel like that, but it's not entirely uncommon.

The pizza story was at a time where Bitcoin was worth peanuts, and more importantly, the coins weren't lost but spent on pizzas. I'm actually not sure why you think these situations compare....

I am really sorry to read this. It's such a shame that scammers without a second thought ruin people's lives for their own selfish interests. OP, I really hope that you will try your best to start saving up satoshis from scratch even though you aren't thinking about that right now. Undecided

The best thing to do, is to look here on forum first, and have some information about
It looks like their website is down or something with the servers, let's keep looking for information, you are the first to come here, but I suspect a lot of people will lose BTC

I type on google "electrum" and google propose me "electrum.net" before validation , I click  on this proposition and I didn't see anything suspect.
it's just money of course , I will report this website at the French Police , I can believe  the website ,its still online and new people can be stolen again and again...

So it definitely looks like it was through a Google ad.. Next time make sure to not click ads, and to think twice ALWAYS when clicking links regardless where. Also, if you'd buy the same amount of BTC in the future, please. Grab a hardware wallet.

Anyway, expensive mistake. Best of luck moving forward.

Man, I'm sorry, it's really sad, but don´t you research first to see https://electrum.org is the original site?
Here in Bitcointalk people emphasize a lot that the only original source is https://electrum.org

That's unfortunate. Do you mind telling us how you fell for the phishing site? Was it through a Google ad?

The site seems down now though.

Chin up mate. It's just money. It may be hard depending on what your income is, but money can be made back; whereas you only have one life.
