PLEASE HELP! Accidentally sent USD to my Trezor

Tue Jan 23, 2018 2:25 am

I am an idiot and I had accidentally sent over $1k in USD from Binance to my Trezor BTC wallet. Is there any way I can retrieve it or is it lost? I contacted Trezor and they told me:

Unfortunately, there is no way to safely recover your funds when you sent unsupported coin type to the address type that belongs to different coin type. You can export only your private keys from your recovery seed, but we are not providing any advice regarding this procedure as it is completely against the purpose of our product.

I wasnt sure what they were referring to when they wrote export private keys. Please if someone can help me my wife is going to kill me. God bless~

Are you saying that you sent $1k of BCH from Binance to your Trezor BTC wallet?

If you need to get your private keys from your seed words you download the source code (BIP39 Mnemonic Code Converter) at iancoleman.io - https://iancoleman.io/ and then run the standalone (and run it offline).

Since he hold his own private key to his wallet in Trezor, if it is bitcoin cash, I think he could still stand a high chance to retrieve it back

Sorry for the late reply... I actually sent USDT to my trezor wallet like an idiot.

UPDATE: I was referred to Walletrecoveryservice@protonmail.com by someone on Reddit and he basically went in and took everything I had. I know it was a stupid mistake on my part, but hopefully this message will go to other newbs that this guy is not the same person as Walletrecoveryservice@gmail.com who apparently is legit. Walletrecoveryservice@protonmail.com if you see this karma will kick you in the ass one day and I hope it does hard.
