Did I lose this money??

Sorry for your loss, $20k

The most painful thing is watching parents struggle with such troubles. And there's nothing you can do to help, and it's useless to explain, and you understand that it's hard for them to get over it. One day my parents sold the car, they decided so. We put the money in the bank. And this bank went bankrupt. And instead of a car, there was a zilch. They were very upset, the money was meant for me. I calmed them down as best I could. But it remained in their memory anyway. And, of course, in mine. But we needed to move on, and we did it. Thank you for your sympathy, my wound healed when I was able to earn more than I lost.

Hi,

I've just transferred some USDT from my Coinbase wallet to my Metamask wallet and I'm not seeing the money in Metamask even though the transaction report in Coinbase wallet says was successful.

Now, as many of you know, I have no idea what I'm doing, I just can't get the hang of this crypto stuff, so I kind of shoot in the dark... Anyway, back to the topic...

About 2.5 years ago when I tried crypto for the first time I created a Metamask wallet which - to my surprise - I have saved the credentials (password + the 12 words key) for in a txt file and now - as I was trying to get the USDT out of my Coinbase wallet to turn it into cash somehow - I stumbled upon this file that had my Metamask credentials saved and as soon as I found this info I re-added the wallet to my Brave browser, copied Metamask's address, plopped it into the Coinbase wallet and went ahead and sent some fake USDT money to the Metamask wallet but - like I said - I can't see the money in Metamask even though the transaction was supposedly successful...

So now I'm wondering: did this money get lost in the twilight zone of crypto networks and blockchains, or will it arrive in my Metamask wallet later?? I don't know...

Also (probably important) I should mention that after I have reinstalled Metamask into my browser and accessed it for the first time I could only see ETH in there, but after I made the transaction and saw that no money shows up in Metamask I panicked and went ahead and added networks like BNB and Base to Metamask because I remember that these 2 networks seem to pop up the most inside of my Coinbase wallet, so I was thinking that I need to have those networks enabled in order to transfer the USDT, but the problem is that I didn't think of adding them before making the transaction (I've only added them AFTER the transaction) and now I'm afraid I might have lost this money. Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with this fake industry? How come everyone makes transactions instantly while for me every time I click send (regardless of where I send it to) the money never arrives? What's happening?

Please enlighten me

My computer just got a virus. When I copy any e-wallet, it automatically turns into a hacker's wallet and I just lost money.

First you exercise, then you act. Not the other way around. College hasn't taught you that. If you're acting impulsively like this, it's time to work on it.

The 2FA feature is enabled in your account settings so that no one but you can transfer funds. An application (Google authenticator, for example) is installed on the phone, and during the transfer you will need to enter a code from it to confirm the transaction. If I understood you correctly.

 

[ZANDAR]

Which network you used to send
ERC or TRC20 or BNB,,,

I lost money because I insert wrong address ERC that should be TRC20 and I tried hard to recover it but Binance support said the money is gone

yes, because I was careless and I added a new hacker wallet, without noticing that my wallet that transferred money as usual had been changed
