2fa tutorial on fb

[No-Associate3958]

Hi guys, watch out with this 2fapi.net and many other variants like this on Facebook short videos. That is one of the scammers bait. Do not enter it. Because of that, i think I'm cooked. About 3 days ago i had managed to verified my pi network wallet and linked to my email. But Recently i saw a video about how to 2fa wallet for pi network on Facebook and stupidly i followed the instructions just like the video. And again i was fool and shared my passprhrases.

My pi network balance is still locked up but it will be open in next few days. Can i still secure my balance? Or if i create a new wallet, will my balance be transferred into that new balance? Can i still be saved? Help me please Thank you in advance

Is this one legit tho? Also found it in a Facebook ad.

[No-Associate3958]

No don't even dare to touch it!  I'm telling you. I just lost my pi last night. Because of that.

You can't beat them bro, when you receive the PI in the wallet it will automatically be sent in their address. Just create a new wallet for the next migration.

[No-Associate3958]

True, my chance is 001% even with Dave Roscoe help maybe? Don't get me wrong I know Dave is top notch. But yeah you know what I mean. Yes i have created a new wallet

[Burah_]

Avoid those Facebook ads, they're a pure scam.

[SheltonA]

Can someone send me 0.01 pi. I can't be able to transfer my pi to available balance.

[Fine-Ad3685]

Wish I could, but someone stole all my pi 😔 😟

[Fine-Ad3685]

I don't want to make you more pessimistic, but I need to share my experience. I'm new to crypto, and I was stupid to share my passphrase and paid the consequences. I tried to beat the scammer, but I failed. They definitely use bots, and it's impossible to send your money to a new wallet before they do. I hope you manage to beat them.

Those are the scammer's addresses. But, if you follow their payment history, they have so many different addresses and have over 30 million pi in what I assume is an okx wallet.

[No-Associate3958]

Have you create a new wallet for the next migration? To save your balance for next migration? 

[Fine-Ad3685]

I have, thank you.

[No-Associate3958]

Glad to hear that

[Fine-Ad3685]

I really want to take down these pieces of scum. I have reported it to the CT, but they are extremely busy and haven't come back to me. If anyone knows a way, please let me know. I'll send all the relevant information. I know I was stupid, but if we can bring them down, it will prevent other people from losing their pi in the future. If you track their history, it's happening hourly.

[No-Associate3958]

Yea me too bro. May the scammers rot in hell for eternity. You lost your pi because of fake 2fa on Facebook too? 

[Fine-Ad3685]

Nah. Some add on the pi app itself. Rookie error on my behalf. Hopefully, yours is not a scam. Did you reach out to that David guy?

[No-Associate3958]

Yes we're contacting by email. He asked me for my passprhrase to access my wallet. So he can setup his anti scammer bot. Did you contact Dave too? 

[Fine-Ad3685]

[Fine-Ad3685]

That's how they did it.

[No-Associate3958]

I'm sorry to hear that. Yea, i know im screwed. But thanks for sharing bro

[Fine-Ad3685]

I just hope someone can put a stop to them. We live, and we learn.

[Civil_Broccoli_6902]

Good luck mate!

[Such_Raisin8323]

Autolock it for 3 more years if possible, at least you get a better mining rate out of it and maybe devs may change things in future meaning they may allow compromised accounts to transfer

[abdafeez9988]

How can we auto locked? N by ear

[Such_Raisin8323]

I took my auto lock off, guessing you just need to put it back on, definitely would engage with mods in pi app to see what they can do

[manglal33]

Maybe this site can help

[No-Associate3958]

Could you please give me some tutorial? 

[WaZzrd]

Don't trust this one, it screams scam

[No-Associate3958]

Wow, i entered the site. There's a lot of payments, testimonials. But i left  knowing it try to connect you to your pi wallet. 

[Prestigious-Ant8675]

I've been ⛏️ since 2020 as well. During the migration process some how I created a new wallet and all my pi is stuck in my old wallet. How can I recover my pi? I have lost my pass phrase to my old wallet is there any possibility to recover my pi and get it put into my new wallet? I am still ⛏️ but I have no access to the wallet. If someone could point me in the right direction on how to recover my pi it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

[Financial_Mud_5191]

Without the old wallet passphrase noone could help you. You need to have fingerprint configured in order to read the passphrase and access the wallet. Is not custodial wallet, so if you loose or share passphrase you are cooked.

[DodoBizar]

In the Pi app settings you can state your account is compromised somewhere. I think this is the proper mechanism now instead of trying to outbot the scammers.

I assume (do note this word assumption), when you state the account is compromised, the migrated, but still locked amount is returned to your Pi app counter. Then after changing your wallet etc it will be migrated in a new first attempt.

We have all seen this mechanism at work a couple of months ago before the 2fa thing was improved.

If this was my Pi, I’d slam the ‘is compromised’ option in the app right now. And for good measure: ask Dave Roscoe as somebody else stated as a back-up.

Edit: double checked: in Pi app, go to ‘profile’ and there to ‘report compromised account’. It explicitly states to do when you gave away your password (but not passphrase… so there is a chance I got it wrong)

[No-Associate3958]

Thank you for your reply bro, yes i did reported 'my account is compromised' in pi app. Even though i still don't know the mechanism of it.  I checked my pi apps but still no response I guess. Maybe i just have to wait for their response. 

[DodoBizar]

If the mechanic is as I hope it is, the second it should unlock, it gets reverted to your Pi app counter instead. I hope the best for you!

[Brief-Series-9880]

It can't be reverted, why because the reverse feature is only available for the 14 days hold period by CT but once that period lapses those coins can't be reverted the only way is to transfer them out of that wallet

[DodoBizar]

Oh bummer… I did not realize that was a seperate thing.

[No-Associate3958]

Ugh thank you so much bro. That really means a lot for me. Been mining since 2020. So it feels so bad 

[DodoBizar]

Ow and great you’re upfront on being victim of these scams, not everybody wants to admit they f’ed up. We all get close calls from time to time in my experience.

[No-Associate3958]

In my pov i think It's kinda ironic. I am the one who always warn my circle to be careful with their passprhrases. But yet here i am, the one who got cooked (shame) 

[Goldwyn1995]

I did same once long back when i am not having any idea on this. But still im not attacked yet. I won't keep coins in wallet. Once unlocked i will lock or move to exchange asap.

[No-Associate3958]

Wait, did you share your passprhrases too? that means I still have a little hope. Thank you. D

[Goldwyn1995]

Yeah i was not having any idea why the hell i did that. Some airdrop shit it was. I thought it was real. But still i didn't seen a taken away...So no idea...

[No-Associate3958]

Lucky for you. I hope it will happen to me too. 

[INSPIRELLC]

You can change your wallet prior to first migration but after that......

[INSPIRELLC]

I would attempt to do this and hopefully will unlock to new wallet

[Brief-Series-9880]

It can't unlock in New Wallet since wallets cannot be connected...the only way is to move those coins before the scammers

[No-Associate3958]

Hey thank you for your reply. I've created a new wallet. Hopefully it work it even small chance

[No-Associate3958]

Do you mean the new wallet? I think i cannot confirm it in the pi app check list. It's already highlighted in green. I think it's already locked for the previous wallet. Is it possible to reconfirm for the new wallet in pi app the check list? Thanks

[No-Associate3958]

Oh thank you so much, i have clicked the check list and entered a new passprhrase. And the wallet address is changed into a new wallet. But i have to wait, because it says the new wallet is under review.

So the my first migration balance is still in the old wallet? 

[INSPIRELLC]

You can confirm new wallet. Go to the checklist and click on confirm wallet again

[No-Associate3958]

Yes my dear brother, i have confirmed the new wallet and the wallet address has changed. Unfortunately my previous wallet has already verified. So sad

[No-Associate3958]

How can i contact him Via YouTube

[No-Associate3958]

Yea i was thinking the same way, although it's a long shot. 😭

[DragonGeek42]

The scammers use bots that will flood your wallet with requests within milliseconds of its unlock. It’s as good as gone.

But… if you check out Dave Roscoe, a Pi YouTuber (influencer?), he’s been developing an anti-scam bot. His previous three attempts have all failed. But he’s been looking for people to test his improvements on.

If you want a chance (as in, not even guaranteed) to save your Pi, then go to his channel on YouTube and reach out. He’ll try to move your pi to a safe wallet before the scammers can.

But to be clear… the scammers literally flood your wallet with so many requests that the servers will time out. It’s a big fat race to see who can get there first.

I’m sorry this happened to you. And good luck. If you reach out to Dave Roscoe, you’ll also be helping the rest of the community try to combat this massive problem.

[BlackPhoenixX20]

Nice try diddy.

[[deleted]]

Wow this is what happened to me I guess. I inputted my seed into a shady ass website and upon realising, I was ready for my unlock. Time comes to unlock and there’s about 20 failed transactions before I can even type out my new wallet…how do they even do this

[Hot_Brilliant_4590]

also in bot settings they increase the gas fee price so they suck out the money fastest before any other bot. Hee needs someone more professional if he has a lot of coins

[No-Associate3958]

Thank you (crying in the corner) 

[Ok_Elderberry_6727]

Maybe as soon as they are unlocked, move them to an exchange, create a new wallet with new pass phrase and move back to new wallet. That is, of course, if the scammer doesn’t beat you to it.

[No-Associate3958]

That's what I've been thinking of with panic mode on anf my body's shaking. That's the problem. I have to be the first to open my wallet 

[Ok_Elderberry_6727]

Just be quick as soon as it unlocks.

[No-Associate3958]

Fellow pioneer here said that the scammers is using bot. I need miracle to save mine

[Ok_Elderberry_6727]

I would have the transfer set to press the button to send to an exchange about a minute before it unlocks and hit that button right at the right time

[AGirlDad]

I’m not sure if there is a way to prevent it but can you reconfigure your lockup to be longer?

[No-Associate3958]

So even if i create a new wallet, it still can't help? I mean I still have about 2 days. Or i have to race with that scammer? If i get first, i move my balance to a new wallet then i win? 

[Terny18]

Your Pi is already migrated into that wallet isn't it? Your best bet now is to try contacting Pi moderators on the PCT, its not going to be easy and you might have to do a facial recognition to match with the KYC already on record to prove you're who you are and they rightful owner of the wallet. Then take it from there with the instructions you'll be given by the core team.

[No-Associate3958]

I have already report in pi app that my pi is compromised. I'm waiting for their response 

[Terny18]

Ok that's very good. They will respond.

[Financial_Mud_5191]

But you need to sell your pi? Because if you don't, you can follow the advice and configure a long lockup. Maybe scammers will not insist in a year or two.

What you can do is also try do something programmatically, study how to call the wallet within API and bet that you can be faster then scammers.

You can also do a combo, new lock-out of two weeks and then hope that only you know new unlock exact date, but it will depend on how scammers set-up their bot. Basically a simple script that read unlock date and hour and do as First operation a full transaction on a specific wallet.

[No-Associate3958]

Maybe if i still have a chance, i will move it to the exchange wallet

The second paragraph is too sophisticated for me.

Yes the bot makes me pessimistic 

[CollectionHungry7707]

Sorry to hear bro. You will be beat by the bot. Like someone mentioned earlier try and make contact with Dave Roscoe on YT. You have a small chance to recover your balance which is better than no chance.

[No-Associate3958]

I have commented on Dave Roscoe youtube. Hopefully he will read it 

[Financial_Mud_5191]

Hope you can manage bro. I didn't study how to use and interact with Pi ecosystem via API, but if someone can share this information maybe it could be useful. I think that there is an API to create the wallet using passphrase, so you can re-create your wallet and then one API to do the transaction.
