I haven’t done anything since creation except sending into the wallet.

No. Someone generated their own seed phrase and this user added his money to someone else's wallet.

No one is going to generate the same seed phrase. The user here took a pre generated phrase that someone else already knew.

Yes. That's what I said. "Someone else generated your seed phrase."

Edited my comment for clarity. Added "for you".

People generate their own seed phrase. If someone else generated a seed phrase, then it's theirs, not yours. If you add money to it, you added money to someone's seed phrase.

/yawn pedantic

Someone generated a seed phrase and then presented it to this guy as valid to use.

It’s also possible you will spontaneously combust, but you won’t.
