I need to post the transaction details here, right?

23

Yes, please post the details here.

address 0xd7D19E87685eF99FF05f30fB6EEDdcD5850E9280 phished me on reddit, and stole my ETH (0x301b835e9793363daa46a53bf23043445641560e205a899ae8d6fc2a48d157a2) and my COMP (0x5122afd6f8e57c92f1c46c39b5712c5d45eca6d047bacf12815e4bee4137765d)

26

I am sorry to hear, but this is not recoverable using the cToken sweepToken function.

27

why not? is there at least a way to shut this guy down?

28

We are unable to stop this person from phishing. This is one of the downsides of a decentralized blockchain.

29

And why wouldnā€™t the function work?

30

Are there any other ways to recover these funds?

31

He then sent it to 0x23dd18fc61248395ad63cb8c25f8136652908295, does that help?

32

Iā€™m sorry, but your funds are lost. The main point of a decentralized blockchain is that transactions are trustless and irreversible. This function can only recover funds accidentally sent to compound managed addresses.

I understand, thank you for replying.

Would EtherScan be able to help? Iā€™ve reported the addresses to them.

Hello, Iā€™ve accidentally just send 5000 usdt to this compound address: Compound: cDAI Token | 0x5d3a536E4D6DbD6114cc1Ead35777bAB948E3643 by copypasting wrong address (not sure how it happened)
Is there any chance it could be transferred back?

Yes, 100%. Please post a signature proving that you own the wallet (using a tool like My Ether Wallet) and you will be queued for the next proposal (~August).

Hi. Newbie here. I sent CETH from MetaMask wallet to Coinbase. Didnā€™t know I had to convert back to ETH first. My own fault. I know.

Transaction hash: 0x69b42920f0f3b84faa4a8cbfca5183f76ae14dce5798639ee009b5b7744831b1

I have contacted Coinbase with no response. Is there any way I can get access to these funds?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hey,

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to help here. Coinbase can help, but it is often quite hard to get them to respond and actually follow through in these types of situations. I wouldnā€™t consider it a lost cause, but only Coinbase can help at this point.

Thank you. Your response is consistent with what I have found on Twitter and Reddit. Appreciate you taking the time to respond. All the best.

Coinbase have responded and advised that there is nothing they can do. However, if they end up supporting CETH it will solve the problem. They wonā€™t confirm or deny whether or not CETH is on their roadmap. They just keep directing me back to this blog post:

Would anyone here know if there are any initiatives underway at Compound to get CETH supported by Coinbase?

Appreciate any feedback or insights.
