There is a start for everything , so i just get first time scammed and hope last time.
Since few times i follow polkadot env and liked their projects especially polkastarter . it's like the ico's for projects to raise money . I wanted to participate to one of them and got whitelisted to superfarm ($super) to buy in the presale at a good price but sended 0.25 eth to wrong adress . yes i'm little bit dumb they made a clone of their official telegram channel and i get caught . usually i don't do that but we all do mistakes .
the adress of the scammer : 0xC88b5F4aaE1C8f2778DEF2257b6bAf1BA62E4B09
i hope he will die with a cancer . i lost $447.83USD that's 50% of my humble portfolio and i worked hard to put this money in . i know that there is nothing i can do and i feel little bit down but that's life assholes are everywhere . Whitout this scammers cryptocurrency and the world would be better .
So just a little thought for me . good luck and get your money safe
There are two lessons for you to learn from this mishap. First is that you should double check the address and make sure that you are not being trapped by any scammer.
Second and more important thing is that since you have lost 50% of your portfolio, this means that you were investing 50% of the amount is a new coin ? This is itself a big mistake. Always allocate a very small percentage of your portfolio in new coin as there is too much risk in it.
