Nostr Web Client

A plumbing customer of mine contacted me because I'm the only one he knows that knows anything about bitcoin, haha. Anyway, he got scammed and pulled a bunch of cash out and put it in a "bitcoin" ATM. He showed me it is now sitting in USDT. The app he showed me it on was SafePal. I've never heard of it. He said the scammers were doing something with his phone so it may all be compromised. There is only a receive button on the app. I don't see a send button. Other than that, the USDT looks legitimately there, but I don't know. I don't think he got a seed phrase when he created the wallet. If anyone has more knowledge than me about this, I'd love to be able to help him out. #asknostr

As far as I can tell with SafePal, you can use the swap feature after adding Bitcoin as an asset to the main wallet. Tether does not have a mnemonic phrase so, he would have to set one up for his Bitcoin. WRITE IT DOWN.

Then after the USDT is swapped for BTC he can reconstitute that wallet on better more secure software.

Then he can create a new wallet (if the swap wallet is compromised) and transfer to an address HE owns.

If he wants secure self-custody guidance. Soundmoneysolutions.io can help him set up all the things he needs as well as the education to not get rugged. Good luck man.
