I Forgot My Twelve Seed Phrase And My Life Savings In BCH Is Gone..

You probably might think, this is a click bait or something, I wish it was. But the truth hurts, My whole Bitcoin Cash investment is gone. I thought I was being wise here, and I actually didn't back up my seed phrase to my Google cloud account on the Bitcoin.com wallet.?. Why didn't I..?. I was worried cos I knew a lot of people had access to my phone, and one day, they might try finding out.

I wished I had listened, my fellow friends had told me and warned me sternly to keep it somewhere. "Oh, have mastered them off head". I had always replied them, wondering if it was any of their business.

I actually did master them, and I safely locked my app with a 4-digit pin only known to me. That way, I knew even if the worse came to worst, I could well manage to call all the twelve key words out without missing any.

Three days ago, I was at a viewing centre, awaiting the start of the UCL match when suddenly an Old pal of mine tapped me on the back.

After exchanging formal greetings and pleasantries, and conversing, more of a chit-chat for fifteen minutes, he told me he was working at a Restaurant in town, although the name of the restaurant rang a bell, I wasn't entirely sure where I had heard it before.

In the long run, he told me there was an ongoing discount offer they were hosting to gain more customers, curious as I had always been, I inquired and he told me it needed me to sign up and after the first eleven hours of my sign up, I would be given a call, and any order I placed, I would be given a 15% discount offer and a free food to complement.

I downloaded the app, registered, finished watching the match and went home, the next morning, I tried opening my metamask to check out a few of my SmartBCH investments project, but the App gave me a "Application Forced to shutdown, click to Restart" Response. I tried again, but the latter result was any different from the initial.

I tried checking my Bitcoin.com wallet, and oops it the exact same error message. I was completely petrified.

I wondered what could have happened, and suddenly I remembered the previous application I received through Xender from my friend, and opening it, a pop-up appeared and it read "Application contains Spyware virus and unable to Open".

I immediately went to an engineer, and I was told the phone needed a formatting and a few security installation and Scans.

After the whole issue, I re-downloaded all my application, but when I tried setting up my Bitcoin.com wallet, I forgot my seed phrase, I remembered the first four, and the last four, but the middle four was what I couldn't remember.

I have been trying since, and it appears my life long Bitcoin Cash savings is gone, my retentive memory failed me, but had I listened I could have spared my blushes.

Learn a lesson from me, and back up your Wallet securely.
