    Hello Sarpi! Without observing the contract's code, no one could help you out! Please consider adding your contract's code here – Sina Rahimi Apr 17 '23 at 11:57
  • Thanks, sure here is the code... https://pastebin.com/raw/Bnvn7qag – Sarpi Apr 17 '23 at 12:03
  • Unfortunately it is a well known scam contract that has been circulating for several years. The contract has a backdoor that allows the scammer to retrieve the funds with an "internal transaction". – Ismael Apr 18 '23 at 17:09
  • THe thing is that the eth is still in contract. I checked on Ethscan, still there. – Sarpi Apr 18 '23 at 21:53

Oh, you installed one of those contracts that gives all your money to a scammer.

It's gone. You donated it to a scammer. You can't get it back.

There are only 3 things you can do with this contract besides send it money: receive (which does nothing), withdrawal (which sends all the money to the scammer) and start (which sends all the money to the scammer)

You found some token recovery code on the internet, that you can put in your contract to let you recover tokens, but you did not put that code in your contract so you can't use it to recover tokens, and ethers aren't a token anyway.

  • But the ETH is still on the contract. nobody took it. Isn't there any way to withdraw from REMIX or else ? – Sarpi Apr 17 '23 at 17:40
  • @Sarpi you can call the start or withdrawProfits functions which will transfer it to the scammer (not you)! – user253751 Apr 17 '23 at 17:41
  • I read that it could be done with Ethscan, but I can t find the contracts actions they describe – Sarpi Apr 17 '23 at 18:06
  • @Sarpi your contract has only three actions: receive (which doesn't do anything), start (which sends the money to the scammer) and withdrawal (not withdrawProfits, my mistake) (which sends the money to the scammer) – user253751 Apr 17 '23 at 18:06
  • I know what I did was stupid. no question on that. – Sarpi Apr 17 '23 at 18:10
  • @Sarpi Bargaining with me won't change the fact your money is gone. – user253751 Apr 17 '23 at 18:10
  • pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

    import "eth-token-recover/contracts/TokenRecover.sol";

    contract MyContract is TokenRecover { // your stuff }

  • saw something like that, but Don't know how to use it actually – Sarpi Apr 17 '23 at 18:12
  • https://www.npmjs.com/package/eth-token-recover – Sarpi Apr 17 '23 at 18:12
  • @Sarpi Finding random bits of code on github won't change the fact that your money is gone. Did you write in your contract contract UniswapFrontrunBot is TokenRecover? No you did not write that. – user253751 Apr 17 '23 at 18:19
  • I understand. Thank you for your time – Sarpi Apr 18 '23 at 21:52
