Actor William contacted via email with a job offer, we started to talk he provide a calendly link to schedule a call with the CEO Alex. Saturday we did a call for a supposed to be a Play-to-Earn (P2E) gaming project in unity with a launcher, at the end they send me by email the beta access code for download the launcher turns out to be an infostealer malware (AMOS) which lead to my metamask wallet getting compromised 0xeDa95eD3e3436C689376889F9eD0a8f4bA23E866 0x206625CeC8e0A048B286b2645Ba575B3eCaCA793

MetaWorld P2E malware - Scammers reach out via DM on Twitter or Discord offering a job or asking you to try out a game. Once downloaded by a victim their wallets are drained. 0x44 lost 1 BAYC, 1 BAKC, 12 Otherside NFTs.

Received a DM on twitter requesting a partnership/collaboration with a fake NFT project called BurstRoyale (uses artwork/design from a real game called BlastRoyale, who has been notified). They expressed interest in a partnership, and brought the conversation to their (fake) discord server, where I was given special roles to get the priviledge of beta-testing their game/software tied to their NFT. the criminal then sent over an exe file of the 'game' which I foolishly clicked on after being socially engineered by them over a period of 5 days. By the time I realized what happened 10.5ETH was stolen from all my wallets. I am aware of the difficulty of claiming back my stolen funds, but I'd like these criminals to be stopped and action taken against them by the authorities so they cannot continue to do this any further. Twitter has so far been unresponsive and their Twitter accounts are still scamming peopel daily.

What happened: I myself am a developer and often work with clients to get blockchain jobs done. This client reached out to me about creating an NFT collection for them. They already had the base characters and wanted the attributes plus the mint and everything made. Seemed like a normal job, but in hind-site there budget was suspiciously large although we never settled on final price and he seemed to want some integration work done as well so I didn’t think much of it. After talking back and forth (discord chat attached) we seemed like we were good. We hopped on a call and spoke about final details and he mentioned I could download both a beta version of the game and the artists files online and sent me the link. The game appeared legit and I saw they had a twitter and a discord that looked legit as well. I obviously didn’t look into them as much as I should. I downloaded the files and unzipped them. Clicking through them I tried running one that was the game to see what it was about, and this was obviously the biggest mistake. An hour or so later I checked my wallets and all sol was gone and most NFTs I panicked and tried to save whatever I could. From about 12 different wallets, all drained. About 1200 total SOL plus multiple NFTs. I then noticed my metamask wallet had the same thing happen to it. About 10 ETH in total was taken from that plus they floored multiple NFTs of mine and cashed that out before I had time to send out anything that was left. I know I made many mistakes in this process and also know I probably wont get that money back but any chance I have im willing to take cause that was almost everything I had. Thankfully I had some bitcoin and a couple NFTs on my ledger, but had all my SOL and eth on hot wallets because ive been day trading with it. I estimate that I lost around $70,000 worth of stuff (about 550 SOL of that was my projects treasury). I know one other project founder also lost everything from this same scam. Over 1000 sol. My compromised SOL wallets (from largest funds to smallest): 2eUQKVR5jqk9qHsx75fCAwwVosuM9Eprpryt3wNT8uxj 5HgM9TCvNbLddDqUVkHv7W1jBcAYt8VptgX5D6P8SNE3 Bp4vdRUUfygTj3RgQrFvDSQDka4aBzRyvP7do7Jus3Ee 63xA3EqYaR7UosdcZcBQgPyLBttrzaHwxvmoSiTSDQbC zo4PwdyqCuu86BGeVk5N71jAq516CD5vRYy63n6uSzg Aa586CoHSmRXKt4NSAN75YaNecms5UVMbhWx5HvL9pg3 6Y3DKHgWX5tU6S4smXt9mstrEzn4krEyibqbn16LgFe7 There was a few other wallets compromised but nothing of much value was in it or taken.
