Got Scammed Bridging to Polygon – Shame on me!

Hi Everyone,

I just got scammed trying out layer 2, and I thought I'd share my mistake such that others might not follow in my footsteps. I got confident bridging on a few other web apps and let my guard down.

Despite having clicked through the Polygon website a billion times, I arrived at and submitted my attempt to bridge from Ethereum Mainnet to the Polygon network through this site: https://polygon-bsc-bridge.com/US/ . In retrospect, the URL is a clear giveaway. I submitted a transaction (https://etherscan.io/tx/0xcefc63e1854a85912b1a8055875364be674d0a8b24b8ccf806e9782104b4da8a) then realized it wasn't a contract address.

Thought I would hold myself up as an example. DOUBLE-TRIPLE-QUADRUPLE your URL and go through the legit website to the web app before submitting your transaction!

Much love to my crypto brethren. May my stupidity be your guiding light!
