Hi All

So I've been on this forum for a couple of years now and I've been dabbling in bitcoin, litecoin and a few others. I've seen a lot about people's coins being stolen and exchanges being hacked etc whilst I've been here, but I never thought it would happen to me.

Anyway I'll go ahead and tell you all what happened in the hope that someone could shed a little bit of light on the whole situation. So I've been on holiday this past week and I received an email yesterday from who I think was BTC-e asking if I'd like to confirm or deny a withdrawal of 108.5335 LTC from my account. I immediately hit deny and logged in to check if they were still there. And as you can guess they were gone, along with 600 or so FTC which the "hacker" (not really sure what to call this), converted to BTC, then to LTC and withdrew them as well. I have to say, this isn't a very nice feeling at all. I worked pretty hard trading and mining to make all those Litecoin, which just vanished in the blink of an eye.

I mentioned in the above paragraph an email which I think was from BTC-e. Stupidly, I never checked and just clicked deny straight away and logged right in. In my panic I didn't check to see if this was a phishing site. I know, silly me Sad

. However I looked through my internet history and it was definitely the BTC-e site so I don't think I've been "hacked" that way. I went back to my emails to check the email I'd been sent and it appears to have mysteriously disappeared. I'm not sure how that's possible but I checked on the server and it's nowhere to be found. Not in inbox, spam, deleted or anywhere else.

I know it's very unlikely that I'll manage to get my coins back, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to do. And before you all tell me I shouldn't store my coins on a trading site... Wink

yes I do know this, however I've been trading with my coins to try and increase the amount I've been holding. Reason I was keeping them on there for the time being was because I didn't want to keep withdrawing and depositing as there are fees. So essentially, I'd just be losing litecoin every time I see a trade opportunity.

Here is the litecoin address that my litecoin has gone to: Lh8Gc1UKR99FsjdWbNEAMmWCo5qUyWZ8Rm
Here is the tx: d797b886dfad5473184517a9bf3eec0cce05ffa59d32910813d14d5d78f68f1b

Any help will be greatly appreciated, and if you want any more info don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers guys

One thing I want to ask about this quote "confirm or deny a withdrawal of 108.5335 LTC from my account"
Did you have exactly this amount of LTC in your account? Yes or No, then you can go from there.
