Kareem had a large Telegram channel where he talked about cryptocurrencies. His followers were increasing every day, and many people took his advice and felt he was a trustworthy person.
One day, he decided to exploit that trust and make money in another way.
He released a file called "Portfolio Analysis Tool," claiming it was free and useful.
But the truth? The file contained spyware that recorded the wallet's secret phrases.
Many people downloaded the tool, and every day Kareem was able to access people's wallets and withdraw coins from them.
The surprise? No one was able to reach him. He used a VPN, created fake accounts, and even deleted the channel afterward and changed his identity.
And the result?
He made thousands of dollars and disappeared.
But those who were scammed?
They lost everything: their coins, their trust in any channel, and some even left the market for good.
The real lesson?
Not everyone who speaks to you in market language is honest.
And not every link shared by a famous person is safe.
In Web3, protection is not just a wallet... protection starts in your mind.
🟡 A sad short story 💔😃 but it has a lesson
