Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I encountered an issue with a mining pool reward on my MetaMask account, pepwyc.top. Someone suggested that I apply a mining pool rewards ERC-20 smart contract. However, upon applying, they informed me that 8000 USDT is required for the reward. I only have 2000 USDT in my account. Now, I’m unsure whether this is a scam or a valid account. Can anyone help me with this matter? ---

Hi @Jkns.19 , welcome to MetaMask community! This is a scam 100%, do not interact with it at all. You will lose your money. Please always do your own research before interacting with anything in web3/crypto. If it’s too good to be true, it most likely is. ---

What do you mean by applied to ERC 20 smart contract? There is no USDT on this address: 0x394C12Cb7D4D5fDbD0D85d0B20b370e8EAAb85A1 They were sent out in 2023 in this TX: > **[Ethereum Transaction Hash (Txhash) Details | Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0c5627a6e3cc4200e5819e56eadbc0edf99c5107ab182c62a1dd099a60536081)** > > Ethereum (ETH) detailed transaction info for txhash 0x0c5627a6e3cc4200e5819e56eadbc0edf99c5107ab182c62a1dd099a60536081. The transaction status, block confirmation, gas fee, Ether (ETH), and token transfer are shown. I think you need to take a big step back and actually learn about crypto and how things work. Otherwise you’ll end up getting scammed many times. ---

Is there a possibility to recover my USDT? ---

Sadly no. Once a transaction has been completed it can not be reverted. The funds are in control of the address they were sent to. ---
