Is it true that my wallet is still safe???

[debook 25]

Is it feasible that my wallet might be hacked even though I merely gave the scammer my wallet address? I didn't recognize he was a scammer at first since I assumed he was a legitimate supporter from a token airdrop until he asked and demanded my seed phrase through link address, at which point I knew he was a scammer attempting to steal my wallet and defraud me.

I'd want to add an image to our conversation, but I'm not sure how.

No, your funds will be safe if you merely sent a wallet address (don't do anything too hastily while stressed because you can make matters worse).

The scammer requested your mnemonic since they can tell if you have money in your wallet by looking at your address (as this is public information, so is your address - it's only the link to you that's private, and obviously your private keys/mnemonic).

No. However, if you're unsure about the information you've given them, you should consider transferring your assets to a new wallet to be safe. If you've merely given the malicious person your sending address, though, you shouldn't be concerned.

Make sure it was your public address and not your private key that was used. Although, I believe you are correct, because if you were hacked, they would have already cleared your funds. The fact that they requested your seed indicates that they haven't yet gained access and required it to clear it out. So, based on the information you've supplied, I believe your safe is safe. Apart from being unneeded, if it gives you peace of mind, simply transfer your assets to a new, securely generated wallet.

There isn't a problem if you use your wallet address. But once you give the seed phrase and the information he requests, you're set to go, at least in terms of your wallet. Keep in mind that your wallet is a valuable item. You should keep it hidden as much as possible and utilize alternate wallet airdrops in addition to your main wallet because scammers may have already detected it and you could make a mistake and give him access.

Is it truly necessary for me to move my cash to a different address and delete the wallet address I sent? I don't want my funds to be exposed and tracked by others.

You don't have to, presuming you're 100 percent positive you've only sent your wallet's public address and not your private keys.

Furthermore, I don't see how simply moving your bitcoin to a new wallet will make it easier to track.

Well, now is the moment to ask the question before being a victim of a con. No, the fraudster would not con you only on the basis of your address. He was able to track your balance and movement, which is public information. So there's nothing to be concerned about. Yes, this is a scammer's trap. They'll start with nice talk and gradually strive to wash your mind clean. Suddenly, for some implausible reason, will ask for seed or private keys, and it will appear true to you. How God rescued you and the thread would serve as a lesson to others. Just remember not to be greedy when it comes to free money. You'd lose your hard-earned money otherwise.

Isn't it possible that you're using Trust wallet or another closed-source wallet that's integrated with Dapps? Even though I've bookmarked the sites, I'm not comfortable accessing my wallet to other unknown sites that display on Dapps. It's preferable to utilize a centralized exchange that doesn't require KYC at the time, such as Kucoin, Huobi, or Bybit (when you wanted to trade, not for holding your coins).

Thank you for your responses; I no longer need to be concerned about my wallet address. If it weren't for what I've learned here in the community about scammer awareness and wallet security, I might have sent my seed to a scammer without realizing it. Thankfully, I was aware of the scammer's strategy prior to the incident.

Giving up the public key (address) is perfectly acceptable. Giving out the private key, on the other hand, is what causes everyone to be hacked and lose their money. So, if you haven't sent him your pass/private key/seeds, you're fine and shouldn't be concerned.
What was the wallet address you gave him? If it's an ETH address, expect a dust attack from the fraudster.
What matters is that you were aware that someone was attempting to defraud you and that you did not fall for his trap of handing over vital information.

I'm hoping that if we put money into a wallet, it will have an address that is linked to multiple bits of chain analysis. forum for security protection So, if we credit money from our wallet but it doesn't move to the receiver's wallet, we're trapped between transaction modules. However, it is also secured by the address forum; the amount will be credited to the receiver's wallet or returned to our wallet within 5 working days, therefore my confession is that my wallet is still safe.
