Hi, I got scammed from an impersonator who was substituting the real administrator of a wallet.
Maybe many of you are developers and your knowledge of technology serves as a shield against supposed administrators. But some of you, like me don’t have the this technical knowledge.
Believe me, these bastards can be really sophisticated. They cover everything they do with technical information. They make you believe they are solving your problem.
From my experience, I would like to share some advices. I hope they serve to spare you some suffering.
  1. Knowledge is a shield. Learn as much as you can and trust on your knowledge.
  2. Don’t answer to any private messages offering to solve your problem. These bastards have access to telegram groups and take advantage of your desperate situation. But real administrators generally only answer publicly.
  3. I know this is obvious, but believe me, sometimes you forget. Never answer to any request of funds (and of course to any request of your seed). Maybe you are desperate because a transaction went wrong and you want to recover the funds. But the solution will never be putting more funds on the table.
  4. Keep your profile as private as posible. No photos, don’t use a real name… I was lucky because I only lose money, but who knows what these bastards can do.
I know many of you will have other ideas to avoid scams. Open to hear them.
Please, keep safe and don’t forget basic protection.
Don't be greedy.

That’s a good one. Someone promise and easy win and you believe it. But sometimes the scam comes from fear. From fear that there has been a problem in your wallet and you would lose your funds. This is what happened to me.
