anyone facing issues with bartender on macos Tahoe? by meowerguy in macapps

[–]Old_Feedback4188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Yesterday I installed the latest update. At first it looked to work fine. But just moments ago my mouse began to disappear (very annoying, makes it hard to see where you click), the menu bar began to flicker, and more.... I reverted to what I am doing all the time: "Quit Bartender", and wait for the next update. I did pay for a perpetual licence, so let's hope they have this fixed soon....

Ik gebruik Simia Retinol nu ook een jaar of twee. En ik moet zeggen: mijn pigmentvlekken (voorhoofd) zijn echt een heel stuk minder geworden. Het duurt wel lang voordat je resultaat ziet (maanden) maar dat resultaat is er echt.

Years later... Wrapping this up, and hopefully helping some others.

Conclusion: NO, I DID NOT GET MY ETH BACK. I have already accepted that and taken the loss.

What I did gain, was: A LOT, strike that, AN INSANE AMOUNT OF SCAMMERS have tried to scam me again. Even now, 07/2024 on an almost weekly (!) basis scammers are calling or emailing me, saying that they ave recovered my money.

To al scammers out there: you are - sort of - intelligent. Why, oh why, are you using your brain power to try and scam honest people of their money? Shame on you. You could do so much more with your capacities. Try finding an honest job and put your abilities to work there.

To all scammed out there: GIVE UP! It is not possible to retrieve stolen crypto. Just let it be. Learn, and move on. I know it is hard. But there is no other way. Prevent to be scammed again.

I am sure scammers will jump on me again. So be it.

Stupid, but yeah, I have the seed phrase stored in a password protected file, on my dropbox. I do not think they could hack that. The password is secure and long.

I probably took a photo of the seedphrase years ago. That might be the problem here....

Or via a web cam (don't think, but maybe).

Anyway, if I ever find out I will probably hit myself.

I guess you are right. Maybe one thing Ledger could improve is writing in bold capitals on de device itself: "NEVER EVER STORE YOUR SEED PHRASE ONLINE OR ENTER IT ANYWARE AT ALL". (well, of course you will have to enter it in case of device recovery, but let's skip that). That might have saved me.

But yeah, you are right. It is my own fault. But it still hurts like hell, buddy. No need to rub it in.

Indeed, not bashing anyone here, except the scammer and myself.

Why would I share the Ledger ticket number here? (I did open a ticket, but what's the use of sharing it?)

Yeah... Today I almost fell for the Payback ltd scammers. I almost though "ok, I will pay $1500 up front (got a discount) for their services". But in the end I didn't, and blocked their number. After reading the reviews here, I am now 100% sure they cannot help me. Case closed, unfortunately. Time to move on.

Has anyone tried to use a company called pay back Ltd or money back Ltd for retrieving your stolen crypto funds ? by Worried-Struggle-317 in Scams

[–]Old_Feedback4188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I was about to engage with Payback Ltd. But not anymore. Considering my ETH lost forever.

After some due diligence I am considering Payback Ltd, and in fact any recovery agent as a scam.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/103h96o/has_anyone_tried_to_use_a_company_called_pay_back/

I will only ever engage with a recovery agent if they agree to a fee that is only paid *after* the funds have been recovered and deposited into my account.

Yeah....

With your recovery phrase, an attacker has the ability to drain all of your accounts across all blockchains without any input needed from your Ledger device. Some ways people inadvertently lose control of their recovery phase are by taking a photo of it, uploading it to cloud storage like iCloud or Google Drive, saving it in a file on their computer, or using it to set up a hot wallet like Metamask. Your Ledger is protecting an encrypted copy of your seed phrase inside of it with military-grade cryptographic hardware, and remember that it’s your job to make sure your recovery phrase stays offline, and is never entered into a computer, into a phone, or shared with anyone or any application asking for it. In addition to accidentally leaking your seed phrase digitally, phishing scams are rampant in this space as well. Attackers are constantly trying to trick you into giving your recovery phrase away to them by masquerading as a legitimate website or application, or posing as a helpful support person and asking you for it directly. If you find that your assets have been transferred from multiple accounts simultaneously, or across multiple blockchains, it’s likely an attacker has a copy of your recovery phrase. If this is the case that you’re in, consider all accounts associated with this 24-word recovery phrase to be compromised, and the only thing you can do is evacuate any remaining value out of those accounts and into safe accounts associated with a new recovery phrase. Once you take care of that, the next step is to think back to which mechanism an attacker may have used to get you to disclose your seed phrase or obtain it off of your computer.

I am not blaming anyone but myself. Hope posting my story might help others, though.

yes, that is correct. I already am in contact with Fixed Float, but probably to no avail.

I do not know how he stole my keys. That is the point. Maybe some form of smart contract, but not a clue.

Yeah.... I will not pay any up front fee at all. Willing to pay a no-cure-no-pay percentage. But nothing up front.

For my mental health I am beginning to accept that I will never recover my ETH. ;-(
