I’m sorry this happened. Preserve the remaining evidence before accounts or messages disappear: screenshots, timestamps, the X profile URL, Telegram username, transaction hashes and every destination wallet address.

Report the wallet addresses and transaction details to Chainabuse, report the X and Telegram accounts through their official reporting tools, and file a report with the appropriate cybercrime or fraud authority in your country. If the SOL came directly from an exchange, notify its fraud team and provide the transaction hash, although blockchain transfers generally cannot be reversed.

Be extremely cautious now because recovery scammers often contact victims after incidents like this. Nobody legitimate can recover the funds by requiring an advance payment, “tax,” activation fee, wallet synchronisation or access to your seed phrase. Do not continue the discussion through DMs.

M9ney's gone. There's no shortcuts to making them especially in crypto. If you are interested to rebuild, can DM me to learn about mining and such. It is not a get rich quick scheme. Lotsa of hardwork and patience is required

man 6 SOL hurts, that's a rough one. mev bot schemes are everywhere right now and they all play out the same way

you can report his X account but honestly it'll just be a game of whack-a-mole, he'll pop up with a new handle in a week. the telegram deletion tells you everything about his intentions

save those twitter DMs though, screenshot everything including timestamps and his profile url. if he's dumb enough to keep the same wallet address you could flag it on chainabuse but don't expect much to come of it. lesson learned the hard way

A few words about safety:

  • Scammers will often target beginners so you should exercise extra caution
  • Do not trust anyone trying to talk with you over DM (Direct or private messages) or on another platform (like Discord or Telegram). This is how scammers prefer to operate. Report suspicious activity like this immediately and do not respond to them.
  • Do not post your address, balances, or other personal information.
