I was looking for a dblookup website, someone on HF mentioned weleakinfo.io
This website I logged in to it and on the payment page It was a qr code with the BTC payment code, I copy the BTC code and I pasted it on my BTC wallet and I sent the payment, for some reason this BTC code on their website was some kind of a contract so basically I paid the amount I was suppose to pay and on the other side they took everything I had on my wallet same second I sent the first payment.
I have never heard of this scam before but I just wanted to warn you guys before sending a payment dont send it from your original wallet send it from a separate wallet.
Do you remember who mentioned the website ? Maybe it's just me but the .to domain doesn't seem recheable through a web browser :
However, it seems that weleakinfo.io does exist, maybe a TLD squatting

Sorry the correct name is weleakinfo.io/
User called Embarcadero mentioned it
Interesting. So I presume the redirect link had some masked payment stuff that gave them essentially complete access to your wallet via giving them private key? Or did they just drained a big amount?
Cause if you paste a BTC Address and send payment from your wallet. You are in control and aren't giving access to them by just sending a payment to an address (Granted that you are pasting the address manually).

the payment page looked like this, I copy the addy and pasted it on my wallet and sent the payment and after I sent 10 usd the rest of the money on my wallet was completly gone.
DO NOT SEND ANY PAYMENT TO THE WALLETS BELOW.

It looks like that "weleakinfo" was an old website, with a ".com" TLD back in the days, but the owner has been arrested in Netherland in 2020 :

Either it's a reborn, or a scam

I know I was not aware of that I though that this was the original website and to be honest I have never ever been scammed this way before, this was something new, I wanted to inform ppl that not even when you dont have sus files on your pc you can get hacked and scammed.
have two separate wallets everytime you send someone money send over the money to your 2nd wallet and from that wallet send over the funds to the person you are going to send the funds too.

First time I'm seeing this too, and to be honest I didn't know that someone could withdraw a wallet if you make a simple transaction, I learned that's it's important to have different wallets when proceeding to payments, thanks for altering the community

what wallet were you using? How this can be possible from just copying and sending funds to that address?

How can this be possible. Simply copying and pasting just the btc address shouldn't compromise your wallet.
Your wallet has been compromised somehow and it isn't done just through copying and pasting for address. Was it just the address you copied or was it with some commands or links?

This wallet I was sending money from I have not used it since 4 years, and also one thing, I never clicked on any link or anything I simply copy and pasted the addy.
I did a research and I saw that this scammer has many victims money floods in to his acc and its huge amounts.

Hmm. Hard luck but he somehow has managed to compromise people's wallets
That's a pretty good scam, maybe it's another type of drainer somehow.
Is everything up to date on your computer & browser etc?
