Hey, can someone help me. A friend told me to get phantom and I did and he paid me the money he owed me into it and ghosted me but I'm under 18 and I can't find a service to pull out the money it's in USDC and I just wanna pull out that money if anyone can help please tell me

Are there any centralized crypto exchanges that support bank account linking via manual transfer without enforcing services like Plaid or Trustly? I'm aware of decentralized exchanges as an alternative, but I'm curious if any centralized ones offer this option. I've tried all the major exchanges, and while they claim to support it, it seems like they're not being entirely truthful. I'm trying to understand if there's any exchange that truly offers this functionality without relying on services like Plaid. Yes, I could open a new bank account specifically for this purpose, but I'm asking if there's anyone who actually does that or if Plaid has enforced a monopoly.

I sent USDC from my coinbase wallet to my polymarket wallet adress. I was suposed to use the polygon network but I used the base network. Is there any chance at all to recover my funds?
When I view the polymarket wallet adress in blockscan, I can see the USDC sitting there on the base network.

FYI: I am totally aware how stupid this is. Should not have just clicked buttons so quickly.

Edit 1: Added clarifications

I want to get a offline crypto wallet device to store long term BTC and other crypto currencues potentially. However I really don't know how I should go about it. I have a degree in computer science and I worked as a software developer so Im no stranger to technology, but I don't know much about crypto.

I have a small amount of BTC I bought and I have stored in the bitcoin.com app, but I want to start making periodic investments into crypto someplace more secure. From what I understand, that means I will want a hardware wallet, that can go offline. I also will store the details of the wallet on paper and put it in a safety deposit box. My question is how should I go about this and are there any specific devices I should look into? I want to be able to make transactions every 1-4 months so it doesn't have to be instant. This is something that I would ideally invest into and not take money out for the next 30 years. But that means that I definitely cannot afford to loose the money.

I appreciate any help or information about this and would love to learn! :)

TL;dr I'm looking for a good solution for secure Bitcoin storage. I'm also a computer scientist but a layman in crypto and block chain at the moment.

And walk me step by steps on how to pay a crypto bill from Meso Rx. It has a QR code and an address that can be copied. Thx

TL;DR version:

HTX has my cryptocurrency locked away and won’t let me have it unless I pay 0.5 BTC fee for not jumping through their red tape and hoops promptly enough. Should I pay it to access my crypto? or is this just a scam, and I’m never going to see my crypto again no matter what fees I pay to HTX?

Longer version:

Met a guy on dating app, hit it off. He says he graduated from London business school, he has Irish accent. Says uncle is savvy investing in crypto, and I should put money in the investment pot. HTX is the marketplace, he’s used it for years, and I know nothing about crypto. After about a month of talking with him I invest a little crypto to bond with boyfriend based off of his uncle’s tips; I make money. Do it again. Then boyfriend says there is a trend happening that only happens once in a while that would yield a 60% profit, I can make a lot more but the buy in is higher. We pool our crypto, each paying half of the minimum buy by bringing some of his bitcoin and some of mine into the HTX platform. We make a good chunk of change, twice, and the HTX account is mine, not boyfriend’s.

All is well with $36,000 on HTX until I go to withdraw, and they lock the account because it’s been flagged as possible fraud since we brought in crypto from multiple wallets. We have to pay 12% security deposit, each - so 24% total - within 72 hours to verify the wallet addresses or they terminate my account. We will get the security deposit back, but must pay within that timeframe. I don’t have the money, but boyfriend’s uncle does, so he pays his share. I borrow the money for the deposit and appeal to HTX because the daily and weekly limits on my bitcoin wallet will not allow the deposit to be paid in time. The replied to go ahead and make the remainder of the deposit even if it’s late and since I have proof of these limits they I can submit an appeal and their top management will address the situation with a 90% chance of securing my funds. Once in able to complete the security deposit, HTX says they will not terminate my account but are requiring a late fee of 0.5 BTC (about $3600) since I could not meet the 72 hour time frame, and then I can withdraw.

I have paid the 12% security deposit and gas fee by borrowing money from family and draining my savings, but now I’m afraid to trust boyfriend or HTX. Seems like an odd scam on boyfriend’s end since I control access to the HTX account. He’s given me $1,000 toward the 0.5 BTC, but I don’t have the rest right now, ~$2600 more) and won’t for a while.

Should I pay the fee and hope I can actually get my crypto? It’s financially worth it if HTX actually gives me the money. And boyfriend is upset if I decide not to pay it and lose the funds that he has given me. But otherwise, if it’s a scam, I’d just be throwing money in the black hole and going into debt with friends and family.

I’m so stressed out by all of this! Thank you in advance for any help or advice!

Hi reddit,

A familymember of mine (I'll call him "Steve") has invested a sizeable portion of his savings into cryptos. The cryptos are visible in his wallet but can't be sold or exchanged for another currency at this moment. I believe it's due to them still being unlisted.

He has been in contact with an 'advisor' through whatsapp and the $ to cryptoexchanges have happened through an exchange-service that is also operating through whatsapp. The values of the currencies kept increasing creating an image of a profitable investment (checked on websites called azbit and dex-trade). I tried and failed to find the cryptos on coingecko.

I know next to nothing about crypto, nor the scams involved but everything i've seen from the advising happening through whatsapp to some dodgy behaviours of the advisor has both me and Steve convinced that he has fallen for a scam of some sorts.

What I know is

1. the currencies Steve invested in are visible in the wallet but untradeable that route (the app is legit from what I can tell). -I am therefore guessing the cryptos are real and might appear on the market in the future
2. The 'advisor' is a crook

As neither I, nor Steve know nearly enough on this topic we need advice on how to proceed. Do you have any guess on what kind of scam might be happening? I'm especially worried that personal info has ended up in the wrong hands. Ideally I hope Steve will be able to retrieve atleast a portion of the investments.

If you need more info, please feel free to ask.

I have 3989 doge with a Average cost of .37 should I sell?

I’m posting this because Zerion wallet just cost me funds in what looks like either a major UI failure or worse: an intentional setup to siphon funds. After following Zerion’s instructions step-by-step, my swap transaction directed my assets to a mystery address without delivering any of the tokens I was supposed to receive. Here’s the rundown – and I’m curious if anyone else has seen their funds vanish this way.

What Happened:

I attempted to swap 160 SPX6900 for SOL using Zerion, which recommended 1inch as the swap provider. I followed the process exactly, hitting the big SWAP button multiple times until finally clicking Sign and Send after the transaction had been verified safe by Zerion. But instead of completing the swap, my funds were sent to an unknown address, leaving me with nothing in return.

My Attempts to Resolve This:

• The Support Deflection: I sent Zerion the transaction hashes, multiple screenshots showing I used “SWAP” at each step, and even a full screen recording of the process. Their response? “It looks like you accidentally chose ‘Send’ instead.” Ridiculous. Zerion then claimed they couldn’t locate the transaction in their system, but that doesn’t explain why their UI sent my funds somewhere else.
• External Verification: After contacting 1inch, they confirmed the swap was never initiated on their end, suggesting the issue is entirely with Zerion. Zerion’s UI directly led my assets to an unknown address, which they now disavow.

My Concerns:

• Is This Intentional? The support deflection has me wondering if this is part of a deliberate strategy by Zerion. Directing funds to a side wallet that gathers small, seemingly “lost” amounts could easily go unnoticed or be written off by most users who don’t want the hassle. It feels like a setup, especially given the vague responses and deflection tactics I’m seeing.
• Security Issue or Scam? If Zerion’s swap function can so easily redirect funds without fulfilling the swap, how many other users have been unknowingly impacted? And what accountability is Zerion planning to take here? So far its been none. The burden of proof has fallen on me, the user, and even with providing ample evidence they remain willfully obtuse.
• Passing the Burden: When I pushed for answers, Zerion suggested I risk more funds to “reproduce the issue.” As if losing more money would magically solve this? This is a clear attempt to dodge responsibility instead of addressing the serious flaw (or scam) in their system.

If this is a UI bug, a security vulnerability, or worse an intentional scam Zerion needs to be held accountable, not sidestep responsibility and accountability. We’re trusting platforms like Zerion with our assets, and they have a duty to ensure their UI isn’t leading users straight into financial loss.

I have recieved a payment through Guarded Ethereum. And in order to cash it out, i needed to send it to the acc of the platform owners and send them an e-mail in order to recieve payout. But then, there was something called a gas fee which i had to pay 70$ in order to get paid. And after i paid, there is unexpectedly some other fee thats 150$ that i can't afford to pay and now my money is gone for good. Please offer any advice on what can i do in this situation. Thank you in advance. Would like to add a screenshot but the app wont let me for some reason.

I'm not really sure if I'm analyzing the transaction chain correctly but If you look at the transactions listed from the last 4 days (10/25 to date) where 51.16 ETH was originally sent, does it show that the ETH was sent back to this original address on 10/26 in the amount of 51.15990763 ETH?

Further does this most like mean the holder of the original ETH is the same person or entity?

Made wrong transaction

Trying to find out if the original ETH address that sent money to an ETH address a "proposed" broker provided ended up having the money sent back them?

So basically this guy sent me a good amount of money in bitcoin and i can’t tell if it’s a scam because he sent it to me on coin base wallet and i didn’t give him any sensitive info.So now i just have a pretty amount of bitcoin in my account but i don’t know how to cash it out cause im new to this crypto stuff. Is it a scam or can i safely cash this money out without any risk of getting scammed?

I got scammed by a friend and now I am trying to withdraw money from my Coinbase wallet, but it is now in BNB due to a faker, so yep scammed again. Everyone that offers help seems to be a scammer!! Where do I find real help?

My friend has been using this website called esmeu.net or .com, and has BTC in his wallet on the website. Is this a trustworthy website for him to keep using or is it fake? He’s put no money into the website and the BTC on the website was given to him for free a few years ago.

My job is in cryptocurrency trading

Now when buying cryptocurrency, bank transfer/credit card transactions have become the only options for investing in cryptocurrency.

When buying or selling cryptocurrency on P2P, you must provide a full set of documents, ID card, proof of address, proof of income, proof of tax payment, complete tracking of all transfers, how you get it, and even proof of your home's water and electricity payment, etc. (As a single woman, I think it is a bit dangerous to disclose this information)

And most (not all) banks currently hate crypto transactions. Once any crypto transactions are discovered, they will refuse your transaction or freeze your account.

So we are now in a dilemma. I want to know if everyone has any recommended exchanges for buying or selling cryptocurrencies.

Hello there, does someone know the crypto scam platform from India/Singapore called Btccrt? I mean they changed the certificates i don’t know what they did and now they have 17 domain sites with different names and they all look the same and i would like to know if you know which one is the original now? Because i withdrawl my money from Btccrt.com and they never arrived. When i go to btccrt.com it shows me that the site isn’t safe but few months ago didn’t show me anything if is safe or not. Now when i go to the other domain alternative sites doesn’t show me anything if it’s safe or not. If you know anything please let me know which of the domain sites is the original.
