Hey everyone,
Just a heads up I know I'm stupid as fuck.
I wanted to share my experience with a scam I fell for after watching a YouTube video titled
"How I Made New Trading Bot with ChatGPT "
(link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZtqNiFHu_k). I thought it might help someone avoid making the same mistake I did.
At first, the video seemed promising. The presenter had a flashy setup, claimed to have made thousands online, and showcased some “real” testimonials. I was intrigued and, like many others, tempted by the idea of making easy money.
I followed their advice . They promised high returns with minimal effort. I convinced myself it was worth it, thinking I could quickly recoup my investment. I know to good to be true but I've been struggling financially recently and desperation makes us do stupid things.
Eventually, I realized I had been scammed. The initial investment was gone, and the “money-making opportunity” was nothing more than a scheme to lure in unsuspecting people like me.
I want to stress the importance of doing thorough research before jumping into any online money-making venture. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t make the same mistake I did—protect yourself and stay informed!
This is the transaction ID.

I made a contract that I thought was some sort of bot trading contract. It was actually just sending the ETH to the scammer.
I kinda know at this point my funds are unreachable, but if anyone does have any tips lemme know.
If anyone else has had a similar experience or has tips on how to spot scams, please share!
So I got scammed, can anybody help?

You gotta just eat this loss.
Thus is why holding ETFs are feasible for a lot of people right now.
Being desperate was your folly. Good luck to you.
