Okay now you are scaring me. I have tron wallet to save some USDT shit, ETH wallet which has tokens and either. As far as I remember I connected them via metamask, coin98 extension etc with many web3 applications to transfer token or ETH. All were long ago. I never thought how it works even no idea about the revoke thing. Are you telling me I fucked up somewhere? If I did then how would I save myself except moving them to a new wallet? It's my ledger and it has so many other wallets that it will take me days to find out those other wallets one by one and move the coins.

I even have bitcoin on that same ledger device. I am sure there are no risk for the private key to be exposed?

I'm not trying to scare you, but I wanted to warn you and share my experience with this kind of scam so that people don't fall for it. Based on what you said about having many Web3 applications connected to your wallet I suggest that you revoke them from your wallet settings. If you don't have that option you can use the website I shared with you in my previous reply.

It's so important for everyone to understand how Web3 Dapps work and to be careful before granting access to your wallet with any services, including swaps, Dapp casinos, or anything that connects to your wallet. I also recommend watching educational videos on how to verify if contracts can access your assets. It's as simple as swaps, where you exchange tokens or coins, but the sale process can be a scam if the website is fraudulent. Once you grant access to your wallet, they can do whatever they want with your assets.

To be honest for us bitcoiners understanding this web3 techs are too much I guess. Not everyone have sound technical knowledge in all niche. Do you have any good resources to know how to revoke the connection from a ~~Ledger~~ [not recommended anymore, scammers] wallet?

Thank you.

This method existed just a few months or less after the first Dapp from Ethereum was launched, but it wasn't really known or used until last year with the beginning of Web3.0 Airdrops claiming and Dapp presales. People used to purchase and connect their wallets safely to swap or other services, but they didn't used to read the terms and use before agreeing and attaching the wallet connect. So the solution to not fall into this scam is to read the contracts well before connecting your wallet to any service or Dapp and also do some research about the website and project you are willing to participate in.

Unfortunately, there are no warnings or ways to stop these kinds of traps, but you can always check the wallet connect inside your Metamask or Trustwallet and disconnect it. Here's a link where you can find all the contracts attached to your wallet, and you can disconnect them:

Unfortunately all these new people in the space falls the victim for it.

Even if the user is new and he or she is not greedy to get money in very quick way, he or she would not fall for it. But for those who are greedy and planning to get rich quick will fall for it. Though joblessness also make people to fall for this kind of trap. Scammers are always advancing in their method, but those who are smart enough are detect them when they (scammers) brought any way to scam people.

Actually, it is quite obvious that this person is known for scamming.

A beginner account claiming that he won "xxx" number of money from betting and he would advertise a casino with some random links is shady in itself. Though that may be the case, it is still dangerous for the untrained eye as they may fall from this kind of deception.

From my point of view, just stay loyal at your current gambling website. If you have invested money in a certain online casino, then that heavily implies that it will lasts for a long-time due to its proven name on the market.

Isn't this kind of scam existed for years now? This is not a new way of scamming, many people fell to this kind of scam since years ago, they are just creating new strategy to make people take the bait and connect their wallets to the scam site.

So we should always stay vigilant and be wary of possible scams when some unknown site prompts us to connect our wallet. Unless the site is reputable and existed and well used by other people, I do not think we should put our trust easily.

I don't really think that this kind of scams existed for years since wallet connecting feature hasn't really been around for very long, and it is a relatively new technology that came to being after the introduction of decentralized platforms. Scammers are smart, and they use methods that are popular and used by a large quantity of people from everywhere.

They chose to use a decentralized platform technique this time to scam newbies by making them believe that they can get a lot of money by gambling on their platform or by playing some games available on their platform, but none of it is true and all they need is a wallet getting connected and that's it.

Once you click the casino name, it gives you the option to "connect your wallet" once you connect your wallet, your funds are 100% lost.

Thanks, for alerting this to the gambling community here.

I once had a bad thing happen to my MetaMask wallet after I accessed a new casino that I found out about on the internet, without thinking twice, I was tempted by the bonuses and wins that I saw on their casino site, luckily I didn't have much balance in my MetaMask wallet, in short, what you said happened to me, without playing, the contents of the wallet on MetaMask disappeared without being able to say anything else after I saw the balance on MetaMask disappeared in a matter of minutes.

That's the worst experience I've ever had after accessing the casino to my MetaMask wallet, until now I really can't believe on behalf of the casino that I can directly access my wallet.

Metamask is prone to phishing and one wrong click might lead you into hacking. There were plenty of users who have experienced it so we better be careful in clicking links or as much as possible ignore suspicious sites. I've experienced it before as well when I tried to access a specific site where I didn't notice that it was just a phishing site. It's also a good thing that I wasn't storing my funds in Metamask. It's better if we will secure our funds in a safer wallet to have better assurance.

Hey!

So this guy started a thread requesting "help" with bumping his so-called withdrawal!

Not providing TX-ID or anything.

1) He finds a reply of a big win
2) He advertises the "casino name" in the thread
3) He is self-moderating the thread

A simple click bait scam.

I warned others, my reply got removed and thread has been closed.

Rather than only connect they also add in a permission to do whatever they like and if you give them that permission, they can take any funds in your wallet. If you are a curious person who wants to try anyway, despite knowing its 99.99% definitely a scam, then at the very least use a new and empty wallet. But it would be better not to give any permissions at all, in my opinion. Nobody needs to connect to your wallet to send you crypto. All they need is to know is your public wallet address.

Anything that seems too good to be true, probably is. Just remember that the next time you or anyone else makes 200k in winnings.

I wouldn't say enough publicity be made because publicity is made on a daily people just want to get quick wealth.

Yeah, they will surely be those that will fall for this type of scam but the more awareness we create the lesser the chance of them falling for it, just take a look at this thread for example if a newbie should stumble upon this thread there's no way he will still be willing to go ahead to unknown casino and still connect its wallet there.

And also everyone should remain vigilant because the more scammers and hackers are exposed the more the keep on creating more means to scam, and this one just happened to be one of those means. Before you know there will be another thread again warning us about a new type of scam or a new way in which hackers now use to gain access to our wallet or system as a whole.

This is new to me. Normally when a web3 project ask you to connect your metamask wallet or sort of wallet extensions on the browser isn't it that's what we do? We connecte the wallet and do our things like deposit, withdraw etc. What changed in your case that they still had the access and moved your funds from the wallet?

I don't think it has anything to do with how old the project is. If there are hole to take your coins then it's risky to avoid connecting your wallet. But since it's already out there, there must be some secure way. How would we know?

Personally, I fell into this trap a few days ago, even though I am well aware of it. I gave access to connect my Metamask wallet with a new project website and totally forgot about it. Later, after two days, I sent some BNB to my wallet, but it disappeared instantly and was sent to another wallet because of my stupid mistake.

From merely seing this one should have sensed something abnormal and unusual about the thread, the casino and how they have deemed fit to request for connecting your wallet to their website, an ideally good casino wouldn't have done such, gamblers need to open their eyes on this because this is not something new expected from casinos anymore but a complete way of scamming.

And when I feel this way, I don't do it anymore and I don't even pay attention, because it is very dangerous to connect the wallet to a platform that you are not familiar with whether it is safe or not. And that's obviously just clickbait. So thanks for the reminder at least here in our forum communities.

Some people do the biggest mistake is to connect their main wallet which have all their funds to these untrusted sources which is attempt to steal your money.The first thing is never connect wallets with these sites which you don't trust or don't have any information about them in hope of earning free money.

Until now scammers or hackers will not stop as long as they want to steal what is not theirs. Then for me, when it comes to connecting a wallet to a gambling casino, I'm really hesitant to do it.

thanks for share and for suggestion. there is always a simple solution: never connect a wallet, or just connect a dummy one.
and I add (unfortunately) very little trust in those who create self-moderated topics / have no reputation / trust on the forum Sad

Yes, obviously for us even non gamblers, this is a big no-no, connecting your wallet to some random gamblers here is not a good thing. But thanks to the OP for opening a thread about this old but still very effective trick that this scammers are running in this community. And who knows, there could be newbies who might see his thread and blindly follow him in connecting their real wallet and then drain by this criminals in an instant.

Oh this is just another new trick and it's a pity that only gullible newbies can fall for this. This is why I seldom get involved in moderated post discussion and this is just another abuse of self moderated post against the good intention it holds in the forum.

It's not new though, and new probably one give away is that the thread is self moderated so that he can delete any post that will question the scammers attention or even those who post that this is not the best way and warn newbies.

It is only those would not not have a ear or see what is happening that would adamantly concur to such a mistake..
It is very clear to us that many things are happening these day casinos get crashed, hacking stealing from investors, gamblers and companies so one or place is safe. We need to try our best possible before we go after our mind.

casino platform can be described as a new token so all these things is supposed to be verified from participants or gamble is before assessing or partner with them but many people does not care to check all this before going into gambling platform so that is why I do tell people that you have to make your heart in any casino platform because it might crash any day any hour and you have no blame to anybody because of inability to make unnecessary research that concern such platform

To create such a website can cost $1,500 to $2,000. With these methods I am sure they make way more money then they invest. Unfortunately all these new people in the space falls the victim for it. There is another popular one which is to deposit money before withdrawing your winning.

It is a new method of scamming people that has recently become viral since anyone can grant access to the web3 Dapp from any website without understanding the consequences and what that smart contract are able of and in this case a casino (which I believe is now closed) has malicious functions which will dry your wallet. Unfortunately these scammers invest a lot of money to create and spread their traps everywhere, using tricky methods to manipulate people.

Personally, I fell into this trap a few days ago, even though I am well aware of it. I gave access to connect my Metamask wallet with a new project website and totally forgot about it. Later, after two days, I sent some BNB to my wallet, but it disappeared instantly and was sent to another wallet because of my stupid mistake.

Here is my wallet, and as you can see, the transaction is recorded https://bscscan.com/address/0xFE55bD59Ec268D211e8cE1DA9DE785946EE4Fe65

Yeah it happen before but this is not so used by scammers that's why this method is not familiar to other people. But good thing OP share it here because many could see how this method work and they can avoid such thing especially some scammer post this again here. This can compromise some people since they make it look like they are asking for help and to bad for people will fall in this kind of trap.

Good find. There are a lot of seemingly harmless post out there that doesn't seem to be problematic when you first scan it. Good thing that you have found out about it first, before the scammer claim his victims here in this forum. It's surprising that even in this day and age, there are still people who can be victims of this scheme that the man is running. Their tricks are obviously not evolving, but they are still getting some victims' funds sometimes.
