I want to share a story of how I lost $5K
Iāve been scammed a number of times
But this time, Iāll be honest⦠I was the greedy one.
I copied a seed phrase an idolo posted about a $10 giveaway.
He said we should rearrange it⦠but I didnāt.
Iām NOT blaming him for my ignorance!!!
The wallet I unlocked obviously wasnāt the one with the $10.
But I didnāt delete it.
Few days later⦠I get a notification š
1.3 SOL
I clicked FAST.
Boom!!! - 1.3 SOL staring at me.
I tried to withdrawā¦
Gone in less than 50 seconds.
That shouldāve been my lesson⦠but no š
I told myself: next time Iāll be faster.
Then about 2 weeks laterā¦
Another notification.
USDT.
This time⦠it felt different.
My āopportunityā had arrived.
I opened it and saw:
$5,000 USDT
Omo⦠my brain traveled.
Things I wanted to buy flashed in like 1 second š¤£
I tried to withdraw.
BAM! insufficient gas.
Gas fee? About $5 in TRX.
I told myself:
āI donāt mind risking $5 for $5,000.ā
Checked my wallet - no TRX š
But I had some in Bybit š
So I sent TRX to my wallet⦠then into the ā$5K walletā.
I moved FAST.
Still⦠same error.
At that point I was confused and lowkey pained.
I thought maybe I sent to the wrong wallet, but I didnāt.
Then I rememberedā¦
Other people will fall for this too.
So I waited š
Few minutes laterā¦
Someone sent TRX.
And I said:
THIS IS MY MOMENT.
I almost fell with the speed I rushed to withdraw this ālife-changing moneyā š
Then I saw this:
āThis TRON account doesnāt have the owner permission required to complete this transaction.ā
Thatās when it hit me.
I had been scammed of my precious $5.
And not just meā¦
I watched as every TRX people sent kept disappearing.
