How I lost 5 ETH trying to buy EOS

INTRO

I want to explain everyone what happened to me yesterday. It's important for me, so I can get over it, and I hope people won't do the same mistake.

My plan

Yesterday evening, I wanted to buy EOS token using 5 ETH (for me it's a lot of money). I decided to wait for the end of period #5, so I can compare the ratio ETH/EOS Token with market price of ETH/EOS.

The environnement

I had a very tiring and stressing day at work. Then when I get home my girlfriend was begging for help with her computer. My 2 cats were meowing for food. And the Token countdown clock was ending soon... 

The loss

I went on http://eos.io/distribution to get tokens. I already did it the day before with no problem... but with very very few ETH (it was a test). 

But yesterday the website was not responding with metamask. So I decided to use www.myetherwallet.com to transfert my ETH. 

I copied the eos.io address and paste it in www.myetherwallet.com

Normally I ALWAYS TRIPLE CHECK the address, but this time I didn't... With the stressing environnement around, I wanted to go fast.

When the period #5 was over, I went to check my EOS token and the nightmare began: 0 token.

Actions taken

• I checked the transaction  here : https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0cfa1e4ca68307593220195492f663ccfb135cec1d2a85586036ccc9bb245fec 

->I saw that my ETH had been sent to another address from the EOS one.

• I panicked and post on steemit here: https://steemit.com/eos/@tyvain/help-eos-distribution-no-token-received
• I sent a mail to EOS support. -> They said they can not help.

Why did this happened ?

I am not sure, but I think my computer or browser has some kind of malware that changed the address when I paste it.

I went to see the contract where my ETH were sent. Other people commented that it's a SCAM address. Also I can see a lot of ETH are sent on the address. You can have a look at this scam contract address here: https://etherscan.io/address/0xa46847df9032d0abe4156bc56f3eb9188a2bd40a#comments

I am not a crypto expert at all. If someone can give me explanation on this...

Whose fault is it ? Who to blame?

It's 100% my fault. I can only blame my self. I should have been more careful.

That being said, this is a steal. There is someone who is stealing other people money.

What can we do about this?

So what now ?

At the moment I am depressed and didn't sleep well last night. Now I need to get over this and stop being sad about it.

There are more important stuff in life...
