I really need help with my transaction.
Support keeps throwing me generic responses, so I'm hoping to get some real help here.
On December 1st, my buddy sent BTC from his Trust Wallet to my Stake wallet.
SENDER WALLET (Trust Wallet): bc1qyxcfeez3ffkh6782r5c6xqy98h7srd7ffgzrx6
RECEIVER (STAKE): bc1qerqps5h8c68dsnrydpw2qfa032vjd40elzc7c7
TXID: 629c52bae7b45be171e59d527465c1386e894f5ea71e20b27493fc4adb67b69c
The transaction is showing "Invalid," which is pretty strange.
I'm really hoping someone here can help me out.
The transaction in question is now invalid and will never be confirmed. The same coin has been spent in this transaction.
Take note that you should never accept an unconfirmed transaction.
You said the transaction was made by a friend. Does this mean you know the sender? Or he was a random stranger on the internet?
What your friend did, is the digital equivalent of saying he's going to pay you 120, showing you the money, and then giving it to someone else. "Support" can't help you. You should talk to your friend.
I know the sender, but he has tricked me in the past, so I wouldnt be surprised if this is another trick.
The weird part is that I know Trust Wallet, and I never wouldve imagined it was possible to send a transaction as 'Invalid,' so that it shows in my wallet as 'Pending.' (https://i.imgur.com/8Kxqyi7.png)
This is the first time Ive experienced something like this. He still claims that he didnt receive anything back and doesnt have my funds.
The transaction wasn't invalid when your friend the scammer broadcasted it. The transaction was valid, but unconfirmed and was displayed as pending in your wallet.
The sender made another transaction using the same coin and made the transaction you received invalid.
As I said, you should never accept an unconfirmed transaction.
He sent me this:

What does even "Inscription" means? And the balance is different. he claims that he is unable to send these funds.
This is just a big headache and I still don't understand if he scammed me or not.
It's quite simple: the TXID you posted doesn't exist. But: you're making it complicated by reusing the same address: on December 1, it received 2 transactions. I can't know who sent them.
Also: "Trust Wallet" should not be trusted, there are many topics complaining about it. The screenshot shows a lot of BS: there is no "gas" in Bitcoin. There are also no "Inscriptions" in Bitcoin, that's just something someone made up to get money from gullible people. There are only on-chain Bitcoin transactions.
To make things easier in the future:
Don't accept unconfirmated transactions as payment.Use your own wallet.Use a new Bitcoin address for each payment.
Hi did scam you.
The 0.00082452 BTC you see there is the current balance of the address he sent the fund from. The scammer have made many other transactions and the balance being different doesn't mean he is telling the truth.
As I said, the scammer replaced the transaction which was sent to you with another one and made it invalid. In simple words, he didn't send you any fund.
Blockchain.com still has that invalid transaction.
Thank you so much for all the help.
He is going to give me his 12 word secret phrase today evening, so I can take a look myself.
He also claims he is unable to send the BTC that are "Inscription".
I will get back to you guys here if I resolve this
Assuming he will give you the correct seed phrase and he won't empty the wallet before sending you the seed phrase, you will have access to 0.00082452 BTC.
Everything he tells you is complete nonsense. There is no such thing as "BTC that are inscription" and you got scammed.
Do you know the saying "Fool Me Once, Shame on You - Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me".?
If someone cheats on you once, there's a good chance they'll do it again - and the fact that this is happening to you is unfortunately mostly your fault. I would be very careful with everything that happens next, because if someone wants to give you something as confidential as seed words, they can later claim that you stole their coins that way.
You said he tricked you in the past and this [the bold part] from him confirms that he scammed you. I am assuming you don't know him personally but someone you know from internet.
You made a mistake by trusting someone who tricked you in the past but it's okay while don't fall for any more bullshit stories and ask him to pay whatever the money he owes you in the right way means it should be confirmed atleast once to consider that you received the funds into your wallet until that the unconfirmed funds can be spent on another TX that will make the previous (your TX) invalid.
If you call someone who scammed you multiple times a friend, I wonder what it would take for someone to become your foe?
Did you give this person something and this was supposed to be the payment for it?
Be careful about what this friend of yours does next. He might send you a bullshit seed in an infected file or instruct you to download a fake wallet that could infect your device with malware.
