🛑 I Got Scammed — Learn From My Mistake 🛑
#CryptoScam #BinanceSquare #CryptoAwareness #DYOR
Last month, I fell victim to a fake airdrop scam. It started with a message in a Telegram group offering free tokens for early users of a "new DeFi project." The site looked legit, the team had fake LinkedIn profiles, and the token even had a fake listing preview.
All I had to do? Connect my wallet and "claim."
Within minutes of connecting, my entire wallet was drained.
🔻 I lost:
– $430 USDT
– Some BNB I was HODLing
– My trust in the space (for a while)
💡 What I learned:
1. NEVER connect your wallet to unknown sites.
2. Always check official project links from trusted sources (like CoinMarketCap, Binance, or the project’s verified X account).
3. If it’s too good to be true – it is.
4. Use a separate wallet for DApps and keep your main funds in cold storage.
