Almost got scammed – now I can’t send SOL or swap tokens anymore
Post
Hey everyone,
Earlier today I almost got scammed and now my Solana wallet seems to be broken.
I connected my wallet to a website to vote for a token. The page prepared a transaction and showed all tokens in my wallet, which looked very suspicious. Because of that I did NOT sign the transaction and cancelled it.
Since that moment my wallet behaves very strangely.
Current situation:
- I can receive SOL
- I cannot send SOL to external wallets
- I cannot swap tokens
- wallet swaps fail
- swaps via Jupiter fail
- most transactions fail with “Transaction simulation failed – invalid program argument”
However:
- my funds are still in the wallet
- I don’t see any tokens being stolen
- I can send tokens to myself
- I can move tokens between my main and legacy address
I tried different wallets:
- Backpack
- Phantom
- Solflare (mobile and browser)
Same issue everywhere.
Has anyone ever experienced something like this after cancelling a transaction?
Is it possible that something in my account state got messed up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
