"I Lost Everything in 10 Minutes: A Crypto Scam Story I Wish I Knew Earlier"

🚨 Real story – read before it’s too late!

It started with something small: a stuck withdrawal on Binance.

I panicked. 😰

I Googled “Binance customer support.” The top result? A Telegram group.

It looked legit:

✅ Binance logo

👥 40K+ members

📌 Pinned messages

I joined and shared my issue.

Seconds later, I got a DM:

💬 “Hello, I’m a Binance Support Officer. I can help.”

He sounded professional, used crypto terms like he knew his stuff.

Then came the link to a site that looked exactly like Binance.

He said:

🔐 “Just enter your seed phrase to verify your wallet.”

I hesitated.

But he reassured me:

👉 “It’s encrypted. 100% safe.”

So I entered my 12-word phrase.

Biggest mistake of my life.

⏳ 10 minutes later…

📩 Email from MetaMask:

“Your wallet has completed a transfer of 2.04 BNB.”

I froze.

I didn’t make any transfer.

I checked my wallet…

💸 It was EMPTY.

I messaged the “support agent” —

❌ Blocked.

I tried the group —

🚫 Gone.

The fake site?

🕳️ Vanished.

I had just lost over $1,200 worth of BNB… forever.

What I Learned (the hard way):

⚠️ Binance NEVER DMs you or offers support via Telegram

❌ NEVER share your seed phrase

⏳ If it feels urgent — STOP and verify

🧠 Always DYOR

---

🔁 Share this with someone new to crypto — it could save them everything.

Your 12 words = your entire wallet.

Once they’re gone… there’s no getting them back.
