🚨 CRYPTO SCAM ALERT: The Fake Wallet Balance Trap 🧠💀

I almost lost everything — and I’m sharing this to save YOU from making the same mistake.

Last month, I opened my wallet expecting a $USDT payment…

Instead, I saw this message:

⚠️ “Pay a 20% activation fee to unlock your funds.”

It looked real.

The balance showed up.

But guess what?

IT WAS 100% FAKE. 😨

👉 I was connected to a fraudulent custom node — a trap created by scammers to show fake funds and bait users into paying a fake “unlock” fee.

⸻

💡 Here’s What I Learned (So You Don’t Get Burned):

1️⃣ NEVER Use Custom Nodes from Random Sources

– Only trust official nodes from legit wallets (like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, TokenPocket).

– If someone tells you to “add this node,” run.

2️⃣ Verify Your Balance via Blockchain Explorers

– If your wallet shows a balance but BscScan / Etherscan / etc. doesn’t —

🚨 You’re being scammed.

3️⃣ Red Flags = Red Light 🚫

– “Activation fee”? SCAM.

– Random DMs, fake airdrops, Telegram messages? BLOCK.

– If it sounds too good to be true — it is.

⸻

🔐 My Safety Stack Now:

✅ I use TokenPocket with default nodes only

✅ I double-check everything via blockchain explorers

✅ I never send fees to “unlock” anything

⸻

📢 Please share this.

Scammers are getting smarter.

Don’t let greed blind you.

Protect your crypto like your life depends on it — because it kinda does. 💸
