Did you happen to download an infected copy of bitcoin-core? Specifically, check the PGP key of the downloaded file?
 I have not come across one yet but it is certainly possible that some no good fraudster is using a modified bitcoin-core executable and stealing people's money.
Hello Maskali,

I downloaded from www.bitcoin.org, I don't think there is infected wallets available there.

What do you mean by "check the PGP key of the downloaded file"?
I am not very deep in this matter.

The Coins I bought are not transferred to another wallet, that was checked by the selling company.
So it doesn't look like fraud, more like tech prob's, more specific, wrong install path, messing up new install etc.
Total lack of knowledge.

Now no clue on how to recover from all this.
