how are you everyone? Long time no communication with you all. Well, I am busy nowadays due to my final exam in December plus I am learning a new skill. Today I forced myself to come here after seeing a post about read cash on noise cash platformš.Anyway, today I will talk about scammers' recent scamming strategy.
I have already posted about this on noise cash that one of my friends got scammed today andĀ I believe this is his fault. Because he is in crypto from long term but still unable to find out which is legit and which is scam.Ā
How did he get scammed?
For better understand, look to this screenshot first:
Scammer messaged him with the name of Pancakeswap twitter account ID and he thought this is real, real means real Pancakeswap team message him. But the fool did not take a little bit of research about this account at all whether the account was fake or not. But he became greedy and did what they asked to do. In fact, he deserves this because of his own fault. I think no swap team will message any users like this , plus how will the swap team know that the users are eligible for the reward? Also Pancakeswap is the biggest DEX of the BSC chain but if you look at the screenshot , you can see it has only a few followers and does not follow any users. Is this not crazy? Anyway, he was arrested by his greedy behaviour and lost all of his money that he stored on his BSC account.Ā
But how did this happen? As far as i know, he already connected his metamask wallet BSC chain with pancakeswp or kept it online after passed the password. So as soon as he clicked on the link sent by the scammer on twitter, the scammer hacked his account automatically. When he go back to check his account balance, he saw his balance remain zeroš and then asked help from us. But we were unable to help him at all because the hacker had already hacked his account and stored the phrase key too. So whatever he will get now at that address, hacker will steal it now.
How to be safe from scammers?Ā
If any unknown person messages you on facebook, instagram, twitter or on telegram, just directly block them and never try to open any link they share with you. Because most of them are scammers and never try to connect your wallet on PC when you are going to access any external link. Stop being greedy for free money, without knowing the source of free money.Ā You can doĀ something like use an empty wallet that you don't use to store your crypto. So that if the wallet gets hacked , you will not lose anything at all. But don't use your wallet to claim any free money which you used to trade , store your coin for long term condition.Ā
But if your main wallet gets hacked anyhow, just stop using the wallet and ask everyone to don't make any transactions with the address. Thus you can minimize your upcoming loss.
Anyway, a lot of thing still we need to learn about crypto. Just earn some money , buy some coin, get some profit does not mean we know about crypto. We must learn both positive side and negative side , so that we will not face any problem later.
Good afternoon guys!
yeah your right that we need to research first before engage on crypto thing, there are lots of scammers out there waiting for us to catch the bait. It's very important to DYOR first before digging in to avoid mistakes and loss.
