🚨TODAY I PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED WEB3 SCAM ⚠️
👉READ IT, BECAUSE THIS CAN HELP YOU OUT!👈
MY WHOLE STORY :
I was doing a campaign for RAMADAN,
where I had to complete some tasks & I would get $ACE .
Let me remind you I never used web3 wallet before,
so I didn't know what all I was doing.
In the campaign, I had to swap USDC to $BNB ,
I didn't know that you need BNB for gas fees,
I went to Binance customer support who
were extra helpful & patience in helping me.
Once I did that successfully,
then I had to swap USDC to $ACE ,
this is where things got ugly.
So I clicked on the campaign to complete the task,
which took me to swap menu,
I had USDC & ACE, but because of last swap,
some how I had less USDC so I had to add
more funds from exchange.
Once I did that, I went back to swap menu in web3,
where I searched ACE coin manually,
and without giving second thought,
I swapped! It was the scam coin ACE!
My $11 now displayed $0 for a purchase of 21K ACE!
I was confused, so I went to customer support again,
who basically told me that there's nothing that can be done
and that I had to report it to the police.
I was so confused as to why it would display $0,
they gave me long list of whys... More confused :/
However from technical point of view it didn't make sense.
So just out of curiosity I went to swap those $0 worth of ACE,
and guess what! It was showing my original amount for
swapping those $0 worth of coin.. Strange right? I thought so..
When I told Customer support about this
the guy was surprised and didn't even know about this.
If I didn't bother to unturn that rock, I would've been scammed.
I only heard about how web3 is the forest of scams,
until today when I experienced personally
Share this with someone who experienced this recently,
there still might be hope to recover!
Thank you for listening.
I just thought I had a duty to share and spread this awareness.
