-32002: Transaction simulation failed: This account may not be used to pay transaction fees

Brave Wallet (Self Custody)

Description of the issue:

I have created a wallet some time ago. Did not use it for a while and today I wanted to use it. I have put some XMW from another wallet on it and made a successful transfer. Sadly the money which I have transferred never showed up on my wallet. It immediately got transferred to another wallet which is not even mine.

After I imported my wallet into phantom I immediately got prompted with a your wallet is malicious prompt. And also saw in transfer history that i actually received the TOKEN before it transferred to another wallet.

Additionally i have added also some SOL onto the same wallet with a different address and is now stuck. The wallet is not able to send the money anywhere. The error which I receive is:
-32002: Transaction simulation failed: This account may not be used to pay transaction fees

Is there anyway to recover at least the SOL?

Is the issue occurring on a specific network?

ETH and SOL.

What operating system are you using?

Android / Linux.

Brave Version (check About Brave):
V1.83.112

Additional Information:
I do not even recall using the wallet anywhere … no dApps no nothing and it still got compromised? How?

Hey @Bl3kunja can you clarify which steps you’ve taken to conduct the transfer?

Also, can you provide me with the account addresses you were expecting to receive the funds and I can go take a look at a blockchain explorer to see if I can provide you some insights as to what’s going on here.

If you do not wish to make the wallet addresses public by posting in this thread you can also DM me them. As a reminder we won’t ever ask for any seed phrases or private keys either so please only send public wallet addresses and that’s enough information for me to assist on figuring out what’s happening here.

Could you please provide me with an email or a contact for some reason i cannot find a way to DM here on the webpage :slight_smile: .
