Title: Did I just get phished on instawallet?
Post by: DrChong on February 04, 2013, 11:42 pm
So I do the usual routine of transferring btc to instawallet before going through the SR tumbler, and the first wallet goes through fine, but somehow I lost my coins for the second wallet? You see, the url address for wallet #2 is correct, but the receiving address differs on the wallet from what I copy pasted in notepad. What I don't understand is why there is a different address. Clearly I didn't just pull an address out of thin air, so how come now the receiving address posted in the wallet is not the same as the address that I posted underneath the *correct* URL of the wallet? My only explanation is that I got phished, because the wallet has no coin in it (and on blockchain explorer it shows the transfer of the exact amount of bitcoin), although I had only transferred the contents of the first wallet so far.

Any alternative ideas?

Luckily I only lost a little under $40 here, but considering I'm on a tight budget that's not much of a relief. Think I'm gonna stop using instawallet from now on..not worth the hassle.
