This One Here Is For You @Sami100: "You Can Steal My Money But You Can't Take Away My Happiness!" || Be Careful Steemians And Protect Your Private Keys!!!

in #security6 years ago

My father would say now:

Mistakes either hurt or are expensive, hence they hurt anyways.

Today I made the most stupid mistake someone could ever make in the crypto world: I didn't look after my keys for a second and like that dared to lose everything I've built up on Steem since two years!

I was not fully concentrated when doing a couple of operations on the Steem blockchain at the same time. Without noticing it, I copy pasted my private active key into the wrong window and accidentally sent it to my own wallet.

Until then I had always wondered how people could be so careless making such mistakes. Now I know how easy they can actually occur!

Since there are not only good people on this planet, there was a bot who immediately detected the key in my wallet, and his owner transfered all the liquid Steem (SBD) I had to his own wallet then.

This one here is for Steemit, Inc - @ned, @andrarchy and team:

Just in case someone tried to initialize the recovery process for the account @surfermarly using a private active key during the next 30 days (thanks for the advice Jordan, @shenanigator!): That person won't be me, so please ignore any attemps right away. Thank you!

Thank you for the wake-up call, @sami100! I was stupid for 30 seconds and lost 18 SBD, but you'll be a criminal for the rest of your life.

This one's for you @sami100:

@surfermarly sending a lovely message to @sami100

Thanks for the lesson, @sami100!

It could have been worse.

Today I could've literally lost everything I've been working for during the past two years. For maxing out my own stupidity and not looking after the most valuable keys I possess for a second, I was about to hand over my Steem account to a beady-eyed bot.

Yes, I was as careless as someone could ever be. Yet, if you forget your purse on the restaurant's table and someone else takes it, there are still two options for the other person: keep the purse and become a criminal or give it back and become a great person.

@sami100 opted for becoming a criminal, and bad conscience will hopefully devour him slowly from the inside.

It's also not the first time that he did that - so we can definitely say that he didn't steal the money inadvertently.

If you look at his wallet and the last comments given on his blog posts, you'll quickly recognized that he doesn't do anything but waiting for other people's mistakes.

@sami100 voluntarily opted for being a criminal in life and steal money from other people's wallet instead of working for it by himself.

So here is my most valuable advice ever given to you, steemians:

Protect your private keys!

And you @sami100: Enjoy my 18 SBD! Karma is a bitch and you'll go to hell one day. Stay tuned for the show!

Life moves in circles and waves, we get what we give.

Thanks for your attention, steemians - and now go and review your password security!

Much love,
Marly -

Thanks for your valuable time!

Scammy fucks! Got to stay on your toes! Thanks for sharing and reminding everyone how careful we need to be to protect our hard earned resources. Here’s to a quick and prosperous recovery!

You're welcome @brettcalloway, and thank you for stopping by!
Today I feel a bit better, yesterday I was really angry. For someone who's never done anything bad to someone else it's hard to comprehend these type of actions... You can't explain them logically.

The positive: I'll never let my guard down again :-)

Thanks for the reminder @surfermarly - always important to remind that for everyone ongoing - will pay the nice sami100 a visit now- Glad you did not lose too much. In such times we as a community should stand together.

Thank you so much for your support, Uwe - here and on discord!!!
I was really upset for a couple of hours. Now I feel much better. It's been a rather low priced lesson in the end, so I was lucky after all.

No need to thank - i see this as normal supporting behaviour - enjoy the waves @surfermarly

Danke Dir (trotzdem) sehr :-)

hope your visit to scammer was to drop a flag...send that account to oblivian.

would make no sense and be simply a waste of steem power - check the account, a flag would not mean anything as the account is only used to steal - flag and kill this and a new one will be opened - assume this is one of many of the abuser.

Yes, I understand now, flags wouldn't help to stop the thefts, it might only reduce people seeing this account, but not the key stealing it is doing. You're probably right about th scammer having many accounts too, ready to do the same key stealing. It's a sad situation when SBD/STEEM is targeted for theft from our wallets.

What a shame! I never could understand how people live with such wicked and crooked minds, that they are only looking for the opportunity to steal something. It doesn't matter what: a chewing gum, a wallet or someones account! We had a guy like this in school, he stole some chocolates from the nearest shop and got caught for that, but he was a kid so they didn't do much. 6 years ago I was trying to get a taxi while being a bit drunk and the first car that stopped was driven by that guy! Next morning I didnt remember much< but I couldnt find my phone, it was Galaxy Note 1 one of the first fablet phones, which just came to the market, so was kinda expensive. I asked the guy if he saw it in his car, he refused. I was not sure whether he stole my phone or not and I lost the papers for it as well. One of my friends persuaded me to push on this guy and say I will call cops and tell them I was using it in his car last time. I was bluffing as I had no documents for the phone and wouldn't be able to prove its actually mine! And what do you think, som e guy brought me my phone the next day, and on the wallpaper was the photo of my classmate with his gf!!! He gave it to her as a "gift'!!!! Can you even imagine this? SO after this story, I dont believe that people like him ever change and despise thieves even more! I am glad you just lost a bit, I am sure you gonna be careful next time, but I dont understand why his account still exists, checking his wallet shows it's not his first time, and some people suffered much more!

What a story! So he even knew you personally, but that didn't stop him from stealing your phone and then giving it to his girlfriend? Amazing!

I think you're pretty right: these type of people never change. If they develop a criminal instinct, they'll never be able to get rid of it.

Technically the acount from @sami100 could be deleted from the blockchain through one of the next hardforks. Yet, as far as I know it's a political decision to not block any accounts since this would affect the dezentralized character of the platform. Until a certain degree I second that perspective, however in this case we're talking about a criminal that doesn't do anything on this blockchain than ripping off other users. So he's not even a contribution to the community, he's pain in the ass.

I guess the decentralized philosophy is great, unless it opens doors for abuse. We need tools to handle such situations and people. Just sitting and watching doesn't seem very contemporary to me.

He was my classmate! Studied 9 years in the same classroom!!! I think it should be voting or something to ban someone. On the other hand nothing will stop that guy from making a new account and start stealing again!

OMG - then it's even worse!

I have no idea if banning would be a possible solution. I just did a video about exactly that question - and some of the first answers given in the comments are really interesting. It's a tricky thing: On one hand you want decentralization / open doors / no barriers. But on the other hand you don't want to hang with assholes..

if there is something I can't stand is the scammers... but I'm super glad to see you are taking it like a champ!

in the end... fark the money, its not a token that dictates your attitude and specially 18 SBD..

And @sami100 who ever you are, life catches up to people like you... it eventually does, hopefully you will look back at these things and wonder how you could have been so blind.

Thanks for your kind words, @meno!

The amazing feedback received by you guys totally made my day. Really!
We need to stand together when these type of things happen, and today I learned once more: You may lose some money, but in the end you win thanks to the experience.

Thank you for being part of the positive second half of my day :-))

Unbelievable!! It always makes me sad that people like this exist on the blockchain. I thought we had left them behind in the old world.

But like you say, inexpensive lesson...

What happens with your exposed private key now, though? Can you change it?

Well I guess they're everywhere. Where there is a chance to cheat someone, there will be someone else trying.

I changed all my keys immediately after the happening, so the one in my wallet is absolutely useless now. The account is safe.

It's hard do comprehend such people, since we - the good ones - always act for the best. We would never even think about damaging someone else, it's not part of our self-concept. Yet, we need to deal with those who're sick, mad and evil.

Sticking together is a good start :-)
Thanks for coming over, Anja!!!

I use Vessel for that reason. I haven't dropped a key yet.

Good advice! Now I'm not sure if the desktop client could've helped me in that specific case. What actually happened was that I copy pasted my key into the field of smartsteem's vote buying tool where actually the article's URL belonged. So instead of sending the URL to smartmarket's wallet, I sent them my key. I've emailed @therealwolf, maybe we can prevent others from being as stupid as I was, implementing a tool that double checks the information provided in that field. So if it wasn't an URL (which is easy to check), then the operation wouldn't be done.

Again, it was 100% my fault to send the wrong data, yet some additional measures to protect people can't ever hurt I guess...:-)

Thanks for stopping by @aggroed!!

Thanks for explaining what you actually did @surfermarly. I was going to leave a comment and ask you to post a screenshot so I could understand it.

It's really helpful to know that you copied and pasted a key into the field where you should have put a URL.

I really hope smartmarket make the changes you suggest. It's not a big deal for them but a huge one for users.

Glad to hear it was only a small amount you lost. 😊

Whelp... im installing Vessel right this instance.

Money is an illusion and humanity is waking up!!!!!

lol - hope you'll get your DMD tokens back some day :-)

FYI the account recovery process can only be initiated with the owner key or password not the private key. As long as you changed your keys the damage is limited. Maybe you can find a silver lining from this experience. I hope you are doing well.

Oh that is awesome news, thank you!
Of course, I immediately changed the owner key. When I saw the movement in my wallet, my heart skipped a beat and I thought for a second that I was supposed to lose everything. Believe me, I'll never forget that moment, so: YES, this was indeed a great lesson.

Thanks for your support!! I'm feeling a bit better now, even though I'm still kind of shocked..

Ugh... what a douche canoe. Thanks for the reminder about security. It is so easy to get moving quickly and make mistakes. I once accidentally transferred over 400 SBD to someone when I meant to send 8. This was before they have a double check screen. I was very fortunate that the person promptly returned the money... but WOW what a lesson!

I read through a lot of the other transactions in this guys wallet, and he is obviously stealing from tons of people. I wish he had a more recent post I could flag.

Really sorry this happened to you Marly!! Thanks for sharing your story so that at least we can all have a reminder of how quickly things can go south.

Thank you so much for your kind words, @coruscate.
This was indeed a dark moment. Yet, I'm overwhelmed by the amazing feedback from the community, and that makes me almost forget what happened today's morning.

You were really lucky that the person sent the money back to you. I wish more people would show their human values when they're able to do so.

Again, thanks for stopping by and sharing your compassion, this means everthing to me :-)

Wow! Well that sucks!
Thanks for the info and Stay Safe!
...upvoted and resteemed

Yes it does. Yet, I'm glad it was a rather low priced lesson. Also this will hopefully serve as an eye-opener to many - and not only to myself :-)
Thanks for your support @acwood!

How on earth has a thief got a positive reputation on this platform, plus all those followers?

Shows the metrics here are broken if someone so dishonest can game the system so easily :(

Glad that criminal didn’t manage to do more damage @surfermarly

It looks as if he started posting like a regular user first, and then changed his strategy...
I'm also very glad the damage has been manageable. Yet, I'm very attentive now! These type of moments really wake you up. I needed two hours to get the adrenaline in my body down to a regular level, haha

Surfing helps. I feel better now.

Thanks for stopping by @makerhacks :-)

The original sami100 that posted at first may have lost his account to someone else that is now doing the fraud.
For sure that's only one option, but basically separation of powers is introduced in several countries for a reason.

Besides, thanks for sharing this story @surfermarly, I've learned from it and I am glad to see that this post income recovered you from that loss. Even though I assume anyone would prefer to not experience such a fraud in the first place.

Thank for your kind words, @troubleshooter!
Obviously the account owner of @sami100 may have changed. Yet, this post here is addressing the current owner who transfered money from my account to his without permission.

I'm happy the story might help others to be more careful in the future - I will definitely learn my lesson form that.

You win some you lose some, your mistake has become an eyeopener for the COMMUNITY 👀🤢🤮🤕

Stay safe online nice lady 🤞🏾📈🚀♻️

I really hope this message will prevent others from making the very same mistake. If this is the case, then the 18 SBD were totally worth it :-)
Thanks for your kindness!

It will 🧠💡
You’re welcome 😃

Great. Now I know that there are even already bots around that detect mistakenly posted private keys...
this starts feeling like „Bot City“.

It's a tough terrain. You need to be 100% concentrated when operating on the blockchain.

The key is actually the most valuable asset we own.

Scary stuff. All it takes is a lapse of concentration, a copy and paste in the wrong box (like you said) or writing the password in the wrong box thinking it was a different one, and your account can be drained just like that! It's a shame that people can't be more honest but some people can't help themselves when temptation is put in front of them, even if it is a measly $18.

Looks like you've more than made up for it in this post though, and it's a stark reminder for all of us to not get lazy and let our guard down. Resteemed :-)

Thank you so much for your support @lewisjfclarke!

That's it: we must not get lazy and our guard down at any time. It's hard to be 100% concentrated all the time, but when we send money from one account to another that's what is required. If we blog post and make a spelling mistake, then this will be forgiven. A money transfer to the wrong address might not be forgiven, and we can lose everything. So that's the best motivation :-)

Again, thanks for stopping by and spreading the information!

No problem, it's always good to remind people to triple check things when it comes to money

Au, this sucks... Hope someone can stop this soon.
I'm really sorry for all those involved.

I noticed that Steemit changed the transfer dialog since a while, so you must check your entries twice.
Would be also nice if they implement 2FA (Two Factor Auth) in the near future.

Unfortunately I didn't make the transfer via the steemit wallet. That would've actually prevent me from doing the mistake... I used https://smartsteem.com/buy and accidentally put the key into the first field where the link to my article should've been pasted.

It'd be great to implement a bot that stops @sami100's bot - indeed!

Looks like you made out alright :) I know how it feels, I got scammed by @steempromos AKA @alesno1 for 5 SBD

Shame on you @sami100

I don't think these people have any sort of conscience, they'd likely rob their own mothers.. :|

It's really hard to understand these type of people.
I'm sorry to hear that you made a bad experience, too.

What helps is to focus on the good. I mean look at all these comments here: I had a really bad day, but after reading all these messages it's impossible to not be positive again :-)

Take care!

Sorry, to hear this @surfermarly . I have no idea how this guy has a rep of 31 ? It should be annihilated . Frustrating for sure!

Thank you very much for your compassion @steemitqa!
It's been indeed a frustrating day. Yet, after reading all these great messages here I feel muuuuch better :-) That's the positive side of the story. Obviously @sami100 should be eliminated from this blockchain, yet we all know that this is not possible. I wish there was something we could do about such accounts, they definitely shouldn't be part of this community.

Today I made the most stupid mistake someone could ever make in the crypto world: I didn't look after my keys for a second and like that dared to lose everything I've built up on Steem since two years!

I was not fully concentrated when doing a couple of operations on the Steem blockchain at the same time. Without noticing it, I copy pasted my private active key into the wrong window and accidentally sent it to my own wallet.

OMG!!! Dear you have to be very careful, so careful when you dealing with your private key , if you had over a million sbd , that’s how it’d vanish . This is indeed a bad experience
Firstly I’m sorry about your loss and I’m taking this time out to agree to the fact that conscience will devour @sami100 from the inside .

Thanks for your support @olumideolowoyeye!!
You're spot on: I was really too careless. Yet, these type of experiences help us to grow, so I'm actually grateful for the lesson.

@sami100 will go to hell anyways, so we don't need to worry about that. Yet, nobody should support his account at any time. If there was a chance to even penalize him for what he's done to me and other users, that would be even nicer.

But revenge is for the weak. I just hope nobody else steps into the same trap!

hiii @surfemarly we should be take care of our security keys. and feeling sad for your loss. i think there should be some better rules so anyone avoid from such stupidity as his whole life's hardworking vanished with in seconds. Thanks marly for updating and sharing such a valuable message.

Well in the decentralized world we manage our own assets and control them by ourselves. 100%. With power comes responsibility, so the prize we pay for that new freedom is that we're accountable for everything we do, and that there is no safety net. If we jump, then we fall :-)

Thanks for stopping by, and please don't be as stupid as I was!! :-)

Oh Marly that’s a bummer. What a scamming little prick and looks like it’s not the first time the account has don’t this. Also by not posting it makes them almost impossible to flag down to oblivion. At least this lesson wasn’t as expensive as it could have been and hopefully your misfortune will help prevent this happening to some other Steemian.

Hey Stephen! Yeah I wish I could start a flagging campaign against him - would be the first time for me, but with full enthusiasm :-)
Yet, we're working on something else now: a couple of smart devs is trying to code a counter-bot that fights the thief's bot. Let's see if they can do this - would be a huge step for the whole community!

I'm doing better now. Indeed the lesson was low priced, and also there are few things a surf session couldn't fix :-)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Ohh I love when the smart guys fight on the side of Good. Enjoy your surf 🏄‍♀️ 🌊

What happened to you was really unfortunate but as you shared it already turned out for your good in more than one way. You've recovered more than you lost and you have a life long lesson to share.

What baffles me is that the person would have to troll or set a bot to troll and wait for someone to make an error like this and then pounce, stealing all their money, And clearly you are not the only person it has happened to.

The unfortunate thing in my view is that even if you flag him to infinity he can still do transactions such as transfer STEEM and SBD. So it lowers his reputation but it cannot stop his actions.

I'm left without answers when I see things like these.

Well we can't even flag him since he hasn't been posting for two months. So there is actually nothing we can do about it currently.

It's been nice to recover the money in that way, but what actually pleased me even more is the fact that so many people came over to comment and share their compassion. That's been a great feeling and proves that besides a couple of black sheeps this blockchain is full of amazing people! :-)

Yes I catch your drift one person was horrible to you but you saw the many more with good intention. Oh if I could see life is actually like that.

Well that sucks.
You should always keep your private keys to yourself. Never share it with anyone else.
I'm glad that your account is safe.

Yes, it does! I was angry for two hours :-)
Then I thought: I was lucky. It could've been worse!

Yet, we should be aware and 100% concentrated when using our private keys. That's essential!

That sucks so bad. I always think that people who do shitty things will eventually get their comeuppance. Fuck that guy.

Oh I'm quite convinced that he's going to pay for it some day :-)

He sure will pay for it and no one gets to be good by cheating others one or another it just pays off .

Thanks for the heads up as well, will sure be careful.

People like him will come to a point in life when they notice that being a bad guy was the wrong option. But then it's usually too late.

Be careful, our private keys are actually the most valuable asset on a blockchain.

I have faced some and saw what they did to few. It is best to stay away from them as much as possible.

Will sure take care of that.

Stay focused and don’t let these things bring you down . These things help us become stronger and better honestly . They say “ we live and we learn”

Thanks for your lovely words, @journeyoflife!
Like your nickname btw :-)

This guy also stole my 86 steem currency last week . and steemit authority can't take action against this person .

what a fucking asshole, sitting on more than 600 SBD and doesn´t stop that shit. Hope he will do a mistake in the future as well. But don´t worry you´re not alone. I just recently lost 40 GAS which were worth 1000$ by typing in a wrong address! First time ever I made a mistake and it will never happen again.

Thanks for letting us all know about little @sami100

I guess we all have made these type of mistakes once. Sometimes they're low prices, and sometimes they hurt a lot. $1,000 are quite a lot, I guess you were pretty upset. But it's as you said: they're wake-up calls which will help us to be more concentrated when doing these type of operations. When we're preparing transactions, we need to fully focus.

Thanks for stopping by @betterthanhome :-)

Sorry about that Marly. There is so many wicked deeds out there because many persons only care about their selfish interests. Things like just reveals the inner person. Don't feel too bad about what happened.

Thank you @jaff8! I'm feeling better now... Catching a couple of nice waves helped me to realize that nothing serious happened :-) Life goes on.

Yet, I don't want other people to step into the same trap, and that's why I published my pretty middle fingers - lol.

Hahaha it's pretty indeed :D
I'm glad you shared BTW, makes others alert. I'll be careful with my clipboard henceforth, before I mistakenly post a key. Also like that your quote,

You Can Steal My Money But You Can't Take Away My Happiness!
It's good to always put on a smile, it eases everything.

Hopefully everyone bands together and flags the shit out of @sami100 - crush them!!

That was my very first thought, too.
Yet, he hasn't posted anything in two months, so there's no way to flag him down. Karma's gonna arrange this one some day :-)

I'm just glad you still have your account - saw the memo you sent him - lol hope he enjoys the 18 SBD - you made plenty more back. Chances are he got hacked and abandoned the account. Anywho - hope you have a great day. Lots of love from Toronto Canada !!

Haha, I couldn't help myself and had to send these memos. I'm a rather peaceful person, but there were a couple of things that need to be said :-)

Thanks for your kind words and support!
You guys here really made my day. I'll forget about the first half and only focus on the second half of the day, then this 20th of May 2018 turns out to be simply perfect :-)

Big hugs back from Canary Islands

Thanks for the heads up about this account!
One day somebody accidentally got sent 63 SBD from me instead of 1.5 and miraculously they had a soul and sent it back.
Hopefully karma pays them back.

I'm pretty sure karma is able to fix a lot of things :-)
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your own story. After reading all the comments and talking to people in the chat rooms I learned that these type of mistakes happen to almost everybody. Sometimes the loss is small and sometimes it's a bit bigger. However, they've got all one positive efect: they wake us up and help us to stop being lazy when doing such operations. We need to pay 100% attention when moving money from one account to another.

I'm happy you were lucky and got your money back though! :-)

What goes around comes around. It's just a matter of time before @sami100 will lose even more.
Thank God your happiness is intact ...steem on @surfermarly

Thank you @parryinecstasy! You're pretty right - the most important thing is still mine :-))

Sorry for your loss @surfermarly. May we know how exactly did you left your keys at the theive's disposal? It might help to know for other inexperienced users.

Thank you @photo-trail! The financial loss was not my main problem, it was rather the fact that there are people on this blockchain who're only waiting for other people's mistakes in order to ripp them off.

Sure, I have no problem in telling the whole story :-)
On this page https://smartsteem.com/buy I accidentally copy-pasted my key into the first field where it says 'Post link':
smartsteem.png

Then I sent my key to the smartmarket wallet, and the transaction - including the key in the memo - was obviously also displayed in my own wallet.

It's as I said, I was doing too many things at the same time and not focussed enough. That's not gonna happen again :-)

That's so bad.
But what can you do, some people are good suckers.

There are two sides of the same coin. I was stupid enough to publish the key, so actually it's been my own fault. Yet, what he did then was 100% criminal. Instead of stealing my money he could have even sent me a message telling me: Hey you did publish something private. That's what I would have done.

But we can't expect everybody in this world to be a good person. Unfortunately, we can't.

Thanks for your compassion @rjunaid12!

I don't know how is this guy getting the keys? Can you please elaborate more how he got your account and transferred money to his account?

He has a bot that is scanning transactions for private keys and when someone accidentally pastes his keys the bot uses them to transfer the money.

This bot needs to be destroyed :@

Yip, that would be nice!

Well, this is the downside of decentralization, people make stupid mistakes and have to pay for them.

It seems you were not the only victim. His wallet is full of unusual transactions like this and people requesting their funds back. Glad it was "only" 18 SBD", but still ... Terrible!

Yip, it's his hobby to rip off other people. Sad but true.

@surfermarly Very sorry to hear about this happening to you; but thank you for posting about it.

It's a wake up call for everybody.

Your post reminded me about McAfee's lecture from some time back. (Though he still talks about this occasionally today.)

John McAfee wanted something to be done about this sort of thing years ago. Create tools so that ordinary users who are safer from predators. It is something the community urgently needs to do.

He said at a presentation that he loses tens of thousands this way every month.

You gets tired at the end of the day. Then you put in the wrong place the wrong key. And lo! the thieves get the key. In seconds.

They can do worse than in your case; they don't empty at once, they wait until many wallets compromised, and until sufficient amount in them, then empty them all at once so no user can warn other users like you just did.

The guy in your case was smart enough to write the bot, but not that smart. They emptied at once. Whereas what if they waited until a big post was rewarded? Or the user powers down to transfer their stake.

Scary. And appalling. Many commentators have noted above that 18 SBD is a large amount to some persons elsewhere in the world.

If smarter thieves show up that could be a major problem, something needs to be done about it.

McAfee said he would fund tools that solve this problem for the ordinary, tired and busy user, the problem of safety when transacting. It's too easy to make a mistake that leaves your account empty. This retards mainstream adoption of blockchain and graph technologies, even if they are the future.

Holy crap, this is an important PSA. I'm sorry that you had to go through this but at least it wasn't worse. Thanks for calling out the name of the thief... Don't know if steemit can like lock his wallet or anything though

Thanks for sharing your story to inform us about the importance of private keys ..... we can’t change bad people to good but at least we can save ourselves from them .... thanks for awarering us @surfermarly

Ohhhh that is sad to hear!!!

Damn these people who do that in the blockchain!!!

Damn sorry for the loss and thanks for the private keys advice..

Indeed it will daunt him,he will regret for what he did.It turns out he has done this to many people!

You arose here great question You Can Steal My Money But You Can't Take Away My Happiness.Happiness is that which can achieve by some one and money is not important for happiness.

Wow, some people are awful. I’m sure that person hates themself more than any of us could. Glad it was only an 18 SBD loss. Everyone makes mistakes; it’s not stupidity. It actually really bugs me when people get scammed or phished or whatever and people call them an idiot or say they deserved it. In my mind those people are just as sociopathic. I’d like to meet someone who has never made an absent minded mistake.

Jeez that's bad! Anyhows not too bad coz ur still in control of your account and as you said, learned the lesson. Thank you for sharing. another reminder to all of us. 😉

Thank you, really, for sharing this story. I had no idea someone could work that quickly to take money from an account. You offered us all a great reminder!
I sure wish there was some way of totally negating an account that so obviously steals.

@bitrex has robbed many people.. the list goes on.. and on and on..

My condolence sis,,, hmmm that Fxxxxng sami100 have to go to jail,,,
hmmm maybe in the future, there must be a punishment for scammer
