Yesterday, I was minting a piece on Manifold, and during the final step, the transaction got stuck. So I went to the Manifold Discord and described my issue. Right away, a link to open a support ticket appeared, and I submitted one. A guy started asking questions, and I was completely sure he was part of the support team. Then he sent me a link and said I needed to go through some protocols on that site. He claimed that if I had previously connected to a malicious site, this would ask me to manually input my wallet’s recovery phrase.
I asked him why and if it was safe—he said “yes, absolutely, only you can see it.” Like an idiot, I entered it a few times and connected to my wallet, but nothing happened at first. When I asked again, he told me to just trust a different wallet—and that’s when I became suspicious.
Today, after checking my transactions, I realized another wallet is now connected to mine and is just waiting for me to make a sale so it can steal all my funds. I went back to the Manifold Discord, and they told me that guy was a scammer and that they never send DMs. The link he sent was fake. I had to burn my pieces on foundation that some of them were minted on manifold . Today i tried to mint that piece with new wallet (that been stuck) and now is minted on manifold and show on foundation but still belong to my old acc to manifold is that anyway to change the ownership to my new wallet ? Or i have to remove the contract? If i have to remove the contract please tell me what should i do exactly
I’m sorry to hear this happened. That’s right the Manifold team will never send any DMs or ask for seed phrases
Just trying to clarify where everything is at. Right now you’ve created a fresh account on Manifold with a new wallet and minted the pieces correct? And minting a token goes to your old Foundation account?
I completed the old process that was stuck with my old acc on manifold through my new wallet that i created on manifold but i guess the ownership still belong to my old acc on manifold thats why when i minted that , that showed up on foundation while i am the collector of my own piece! That piece shows up on my new wallet on foundation but i wasn’t able to list that on foundation . So i created a new contract on manifold with new wallet and minted again that piece and now i could list piece on foundation. But the issue is that older one still show up on foundation . How can i show it? Can i send the screen shot?
Send screenshots yes!
Also here’s the long and short as this is a tough situation to help with and i’m extremely sorry to here this happened in our discord even with our bot moderation
If you’ve lost your seedphrase that wallet is completely compromised sadly, as now it’s basically a multiplayer wallet and anyone can steal funds from it or perform actions with it.
My suggestion is to fully “deprecate” that old wallet by never using it, and creating new profiles with your new wallet. If the scammers are not actively draining it of all funds, you can use the small amount of funds left to transfer the pieces in your wallet to your new wallet, and give your new wallet admin rights to the old contract.
If that is the case and we can give more involved steps.
Ok as u can see .here on my new wallet 2 contracts show up that old one named HN ( i have to remove it)
See? This is old one n bc i made it w my old contract but also completed the last part of transaction w my new wallet it show up like that on my foundation. I have to remove it so fast or collectors would be suspect.
I appreciate you . I already removed that old wallet from manifold and now im working w new wallet . I used Revoke . I was kinda shocked bc this damn scammerd are here in the middle of offcial discord n i had no clue u guys have a froum …anyway …its ok …happens… thank u you for the kindness.
Hi again. I transferred the token from my old wallet to the burn address. 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD
Just checked its gone!
My only question . Can remove that old contract too?
Was about to say. You’ll want to burn any old tokens that you no longer want to “exist” if you can still make txs with the old wallet before the scammers drain it! That way those tokens just are poof gone and it doesn’t even matter they were minted on that contract.
The old contract is not deletable or burnable like tokens are, but without tokens on it (since they’re all burned) at least it will appear as a blank collection on any display layer that’s worth its salt.
Also, just want to say my condolences. This is such a tough situation to deal with and you’re doing a great job and handling it in stride!!!
Yes, understand JohnnyI.thank you do much. was hoping it could at least be hidden, but as you said, it just shows as a blank square and that’s okay.
Thank you for your help and kind words. Having people like you around gives me the strength to get through all the tough things.
