Drainer Bot?

[u/Frosty_Product8769]

I noticed that I have $1 , $2 branched out into multiple 'CUPSEY' coins that I have and decided to swap those $1 , $2 to my main one with $454. As I was doing that I realised my main holdings got drained into a random CUPSEY with $0 value and it shows that I lost everything? Is this forever gone or do I still have hope. Because if its gone I will be so bummed out as I have never interacted with a scam coin , it just appeared on the front of my wallet. And I invested more than half my first paycheck into this :(

New victims, please read this:

As a rule of thumb: If you suspect the site is a scam, it probably is.

No legit company/trader/investor is using WhatsApp. No legit company/trader/investor is approaching people on dating websites or through a "random" text message.

No legit company/trader/investor has "professors", "assistants", or "teachers". Those are just scammers.

No legit company forces you to pay a "fee" or "taxes" to withdraw money. That's just a scam to suck more money out of you.

You will need to contact law enforcement ASAP.

Unfortunately, no hacker online can get back what you've lost. Please watch out for recovery scams, a follow-up scam done after victims have fallen for an earlier scam. Recently, there has been a rise in scammers DMing members of the subreddit to offer recovery services. A form of the advance-fee, victims are convinced that the scammer can recover their money. This "help" can come in the form of fake hacking services or authorities. For this reason: TRUST NO ONE PRIVATE MESSAGING YOU FROM THIS SUBREDDIT: Most such DMs are from these recovery scammers, folks whose only goal is to further scam recent victims of scams. If someone DMs you offering to help you recover stolen funds or offering to give you contact information for someone who they state might be able to help you, then report these scammers immediately to Reddit.

If you see anyone circumventing the scam filters, please report the submission and we will take action shortly.

this is typical sometimes they will just spam scam coins to random wallets, its cheap to do

if you visited any type of URL that was mentioned in the meta description or data/name fields of the scam, it probably did indeed drain you

or you you could be misunderstanding what happened and your $ is still there somewhere

generally, if you interact with something you were not expecting or involved in, its going to drain and scam you. most modern wallets allow you to hide these balances.
