Someone Is Using My Account On a Different Device!

I wanted to let this issue just pass like nothing happened or is currently happening. But as I see this culprit taking advantage of my account, and earning money through my efforts and articles, I just can't seem to let it go.

This is my account, and no one has the right to use it to his or her own advantage. And to the culprit, you just got lucky you were able to log in my account on your device, but I assure you, you will never get away with this. This is not a threat, just merely stating facts.

So what actually happened to my account?

This morning, when I received upvotes from the Random Rewarder, I noticed that the amount of money that is shown on my wallet is not equal to the amount of upvotes I received from the robot. That was the first incident where I experienced having lost upvotes. I thought it was just a glitch or a bug that is why I received notifications from the robot but I did not actually received the upvotes. I shrugged it off because it was only about $0.50 amount of upvote.

But this evening, when the Random Rewarder tipped my previous article about my Update on my Trading Journey on Binance, I noticed again that there were missing amount of upvotes. From $2.64 upvotes, I only received $1.59 on my BCH wallet.

So I made a short post asking:

"Am I the only one who experienced this? On my previous article, I received $2.64 upvote from the Random Rewarder, but on my balance, I only have $1.60. 🤔

As far as I can remember, they only deduct 10%. Correct me if I'm wrong."

I received comments saying that it might be just the price value of BCH. But that is impossible because $1.04 would be too much for a loss.

Good thing @Laurenceuuu and @Eybyoung told me to check "My Account" and see if there is another wallet that is linked on my account. To my surprise, there is indeed another wallet that is linked without my knowledge, and I don't have access to it.

After trying to get a grasp of what is actually happening with my account, and why I suddenly have a new BCH wallet that is linked on my account, I came with a conclusion that someone logged in my account on a different device.

"Update:

So I just learned that someone logged in my readcash account on a different device, which is also the reason why I have lost amount of upvotes. And upon checking that wallet, he/she already received $1.38 from my articles and withdrew it to a different wallet. Wow! I can't believe some people would really go down to this level just to earn money.

If you want to have money, earn it in a decent way. 🤦‍♀️ Well, if you really are in need, I'm glad you to be of help. 🙄"

According to readcash:

"Each device that you use to login to read.cash has its own wallet. If you import the same seed phrase on multiple devices - you will have only one wallet here. If you did not import the same phrase - you will see multiple wallets here. We do not control these wallets, we just mark that you use them. Upvotes, tips and fund payments always go to the last used wallet. All wallets transactions are public in Bitcoin Cash blockchain, so you can use the links to block explorers to see the full history - both explorers should show the same data, but slightly different visually."

And I was right all along. The culprit is making money out of my account.

This is a screenshot of the BCH wallet that is linked on my account, and that I don't have any access to it. As you can see, it has a balance of $0.29.

And when I checked it before publishing this article, he already withdrew the balance.

Wow! Nice move right there. Whoever you are, you will never get rich or become successful with your wrong doings.

Based on his transaction history, he already earned $1.39 using my account.

While this is only a small amount of money, I just can't help it but to get mad with this. If you can't make an effort to make even a small money, then I am sure you will never be able to make a huge amount with that kind of attitude.

Well, whoever you are, may Karma hunt you down. God Bless You.

I'm done and I'm tired. Good night!

"Final Update: a Response From Simon

"It seems that either you have a virus or you used the same password on some other site. We have no idea that it isn't you, when he logs in.

Basically, someone comes in and uses a correct login and a correct password - why should we suspect it? For us it's normal, since it's exactly the same as if you used your account from a mobile phone and a desktop computer - two sessions at the same time, possibly with two different wallets (if you didn't enter your seed phrase). Using the same password on multiple sites is dangerous too for the reasons described above :) You're lucky that we don't store your money, otherwise it might have been gone too. You're only missing a tip or two :)"

So basically, what they are saying is that it is probably my fault and they can't do anything about it. It's all good now anyway. I've changed my password and they can't change my e-mail address. So let this be an awareness to everyone to keep your password safe and only use authentic passwords in every site you make an account.

Good morning. Have a nice day."

I feel your pain. I have been getting suspicious and have multiple wallets too. This was a great article especially for those of us who do not know the ins/outs of crypto or just not tech savvy yet. Also a good tale of caution for us to be ware of our security on the site. As someone who has lost crypto since being on read.cash, I get it.

hows that possible sis ? did you log in your account in someone else device ? or someone might seen your seed to be able to login in your account?. or they got your login details and make their own wallet inside your account. if so better change your password sis.

my question is. Is it possible to get the same seed even if you make a new wallet inside your account?. well, I need to do it to know it hehehe.

I guess it's not.no one can use your account without giving your email and password to anyone. Maybe she experiencing the same problem like others but they resolved it, they already see the lost earnings to another wallet on their account. when they click the link of read.cash somewhere on their own device like messenger etc. , it consider as a new wallet if they login, I have read a lot of that issues. I hope you got what I'm trying to say sis. 😅😂 😉 But maybe I'm wrong too. 🤔

Naalala ko lang ganan din yung sa ininvite ko eh. Palagi s'yang nagtatanong sakin kung bakit nawawala earnings nya tapos yung BCH wallet n'ya madami 5 yata yung BCH wallet na nakalagay sa account n'ya. I told her na hindi ko pa nararanasan 'yun and I don't know how to fix it since I am also a newbie. So the things are clearer to me, there's an abusive hacker who got her money and addedd 4 BCH wallet.

Is your 2nd wallet the primary one? kasi of if not, he/she can't transfer the tips you get or your earnings from the primary wallet if he/she doesn't know the primary wallet's seed phrase. your earnings automatically go through the primary wallet of your account... The only way he/she can transfer it to the 2nd wallet is if he/she transfer it from the primary wallet OR he/she sometimes use the 2nd wallet as primary wallet.

You can change your password... that way she can't open your account even if he/she knows the seed phrase of the fraud wallet she created in your account...

Have you reported it to simon? How come that two wallets can log in at the time? If so, then that hacker is a professional one .. May iba dn users dto na nahack acct nla.. This should be an awareness to everyone... Do not ever use your username as your password, and make sure it is a strong password. Also link your email add...

I also have two wallets in my account.. Nafactory reset phone ko. Pero naalala ko inimport ko yung seed phrase ko ko nun..chineck ko dn seed ko ngayon at seed dun sa rc wallet ko sa btc.com. magkapareho sila.. . Pro may 2 wallets sa account ko na magkaiba. .

Have you also made sure to use your old wallet so it becomes the default again? I just tipped you one cent so you can see if it goes to the correct wallet. Hopefully read.cash makes all browsers/devices sign in again after a password change.

How can I make sure that my old wallet is the default? I received the tip in my wallet tho. I also logged in again after changing the password. Maybe, they did.

From your quote ("according to read.cash"):

Upvotes, tips and fund payments always go to the last used wallet.

I sent you that tip so you could be sure it went to your wallet. If it went to your wallet, that means it was the last used wallet. If you changed your password, and assuming that read.cash then required all devices to sign back in, the other wallet cannot be "used" anymore (used as far as read.cash knows). So, you need to monitor the situation, but you shouldn't see any more of your tips going to that wallet. If you do see more of your tips go to a wallet that you don't control, you might have malware on your device stealing the read.cash password or you might need to start using much better passwords. Hopefully you'll get a reply from hello@read.cash telling you anything else you may need to know/do.

I already received a reply and they said that I might have used my password on an unsecured site and that they don't find it suspicious when someone tried to log in to my account on a different device. So basically, what they are saying is that it's my fault and they can't do anything about it.

This is correct, but you should do everything you can to prevent it from happening again. If their reply didn't explain that changing the password would completely solve the problem, then I would recommend monitoring closely to be sure future tips don't go to the scammer again. In any case, I'd recommend finding a password management tool you like and only having random passwords that are different for every account/service you use.

baka sis kaya may 2 wallets ka kasi you once accidentally clicked new wallet instead. or maybe someone did... basta pag 2 wallets and not sure kyo kung sa inyo un parehas, change your password. and double check and make sure that the primary wallet is yours. di nila maopen ang accnt niyo if di nila alam ang password. pag di nila alam ang password they won't get a chance to insert a seed phrase. 😊
