Topic: fellas be careful from this kind of scams! - READ (Read 564 times)

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!

https://i.imgur.com/1GoolWa.png

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.

they'll surely be an ignorant victim, most gamblers are in a haste to make money and as well do what probably others are doing and even without thoughts, the jump into every opportunity.
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?

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Self-moderated thread are questionable for me if the topic is not that good and if the OP is still a newbie.
This is an old trick already of advertising a fake site by creating problem so users can visit that site and try it on their own. Even in gambling site there’s a lot of problem like this, better to be careful and don’t trust easily.

Funny still I have seen this type of scam tactics where scammers bumb their scsm thread, immediately lock it to avoid negative comments and the sit back and await a victim.
As dumb as this system appears to be, there will always be victims especially anxious newbies who doesn't know how things work here.
When I was a newbie I always thought that here is such a reputable forum that scammers would not exist. Not until I understood that scam is not moderated here.

@GxSTxV how about you telling us the scam site you got scammed of your funds and how it happened. Things like this are very important no matter how small it is because it is from this stage their nefarious act starts and blossom into something else without the community knowing or having knowledge about. I will suggest you make known the site or project the the scammer operates with so we could know and not fall prey be victms of their wicked act. I believe you doing this will save lots of people here likewise newbies too as everyone would be cautious about the site and thread with caution.

I agree but there could be instances where a bought account will be used just for the sake of getting their money back by using a scam scheme. Fingers crossed that it won't happen here. We have to be keen on every link that will be given by anyone even if they are reputable members.

Yeah there's a chance someone bought a high ranked account without any red flag or a trusted account got hacked, but before make any deals especially when the account is promoting to good to be true offer, make sure he can sign a message first. It can be used to verify if the account is really controlled by the real owner or not, although someone can also sell his account with his old Bitcoin address, no one knows.

Just like in boxing, protecting yourself at all times should be our motto when it comes to cryptocurrencies and securing our wallets. There is somehow a little wall by how OP shared and detailed because the scammer would still need the victim to connect the wallet first. If the victim feels like this is not secured and avoided moving forward then these scammers will have nothing yet.

In all the scam schemes you have to be an investigator. Especially when it comes to withdrawals and/or credits. In several cases even high rank established companies can create scam schemes cuz no company can fully check all its employees for not being scammers, and many companies with good media reputation don't avoid bad ways to raise some funds in non-media real life. Its really a problem in all the fields of economy.

Maybe I want to add here, if we are really curious, then we can use a new wallet to connect our wallet. Just as many have said, never connect our main wallet anywhere, especially if it is a site that is foreign to us. I think we are not just 1 or 2 people who lost money in the same way, so we must not fall into the same hole.

Even the optional wallet also never connect with scam sites, I think don't give opportunity for scammers to hack your wallet because one day you may forget that the wallet is already connected with the scammer's site and he has a way to empty your wallet, if you already know scam sites, so just ignore them and never be curious about the scam bonuses that are advertised.

If it's only an optional wallet, we must delete it right away because there are occasions that we can forget it and re-use it (happened to me before) but I am lucky that I didn't interact with any DEX or WEB3.0 sites so my funds are still safe and sound. When we create a wallet, I think there is also an option to rename it.

We can rename the wallet as optional, alternative or something like that so that we won't ended up using them immediately if the transactions that we will be making are serious and requires a huge amount of money. There's no point checking the scam sites but there are people who are curious. Just let them visit it and show us how it looks like in order for us to be safe.

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

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.

A simple click bait scam.

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

Although this scam attempt exist already but it can still caught those newbies who's curious about the situation what that guy experiencing on. And for bringing up the discussion about their method is really notable since this could save the funds of newbie's which think about they can get money if they help the OP on his issue on the casino he pointed out. We also need to be aware that to many methods use by several scammers so before taking any actions we should see first their intention and always verify it carefully to avoid losing our hard earned money.

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.

It sounds like a scam, primarily if the person does not provide any transaction ID or other verifiable information about their withdrawal. It's good that you warned others about the potential scam, but it's concerning that your reply was removed, and the thread was closed. It's possible that the platform or moderators may not have recognized the scam and may need further evidence to take action.

The first time I noticed that thread appearing here I found weird the fact a newbie would knew how to make a self-moderated thread and also it was weird someone would withdraw over 200,000 $ through Ethereum without having any idea on how cryptocurrency works, so decided to ignore the thread.

Folks, for Satoshi's sake: never connect your wallet to any website/casino you have never used before and keep the bulk of your coins in your hardware wallet.

yes that's what makes me weird so I replied to his post that it's better to show the Tx id to see the transaction, but I'm also strange why a beginner understands about threads in self-moderation especially big wins as if we have to check the site to help him, but I think people a savvy person won't go easy just connecting a wallet just like that after all it's never safe if it's not on a reputed site because most gamblers prefer to use email to register and play in casinos. but still need to be careful with crimes like this

Check this topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/itchyeth-attempted-phishing-5446326

Obviously a lot of red flags. So there are no doubt it was an scam attempt.

About connecting wallet, as far as I remember you never need to give the seed. You do it through metamask or your hardware wallet to stay safe.

Yes it's a click bait scam and those who are not aware of this strategy can lose their funds after connecting their wallet. So thanks for this awareness because many of us are still clueless about this kind of tactic to lure the gamblers. Much safer to create another waller without funds inside if you really want to try the casino, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Linking wallets is a mode of fraud that has been circulating a lot, but of course this is very valuable knowledge for beginners. I consider them to be standard scammers, as they show their usual mode of operation, linking wallets for example, which is what these scammers do.
Maybe I want to add here, if we are really curious, then we can use a new wallet to connect our wallet. Just as many have said, never connect our main wallet anywhere, especially if it is a site that is foreign to us. I think we are not just 1 or 2 people who lost money in the same way, so we must not fall into the same hole.

I believe this is applicable to all new casinos out there where you need to connect your wallet just to play on their site.
This is why some stick to casinos or bookies where you need to deposit your coins or tokens and not directly connect your wallet via their site.
The person involve with such scheme is a newbie. So more than likely, he can victimize new users also who are tempted with the possible winnings.
A lesson we always need to remember, don't connect your wallet to a suspicious, new and no reputation at all from the community.
For new casinos who are promoting to be a web3 platform, this is their challenge - how to earn credibility from the players as this kind of scamming scheme is getting known.

I also prefer the conventional direction like this because it will be more worth it to deposit coins as usual rather than having to link all of our wallets. Admittedly in this case their target is clearly beginners but at least
they also have to know more about risks like this and for those who are trapped, hopefully this will be a good lesson because sacrificing the whole for the lure of not being too sure can be a loss so be smart in choosing things like this so that don't get caught up in the pseudo lure that is offered which can actually be misleading.

Thanks for the warning agentF, I asked my self if something like that was possible since a long time ago, I mean, the fact that we connect our wallet to a random site and then lose all our coins. And is good to know that's possible, it sucks and is a big risk for all, but by knowing it could happen then we can be more careful while navigating on the web that ask us to connect our wallet.

The way that the scam operates is really impressive, they find a vulnerability in the browser wallets and a vulnerability in the forum, and the fact that they made self-moderated topics is kind of frustrating for the users who want to warn the community. The only option is to give a negative reputation to those users each time we see a post like that.

Yes, web3 sites require connection, that is why so many people fall for these types of phishing attempts. Phishing attempts (like the one itch.eth attempted and like the ZKasino phishing attempt) will also require wallet connection in order to view or access any part of the casino (or in some cases, even the social medias of the casino) with permissions that will allow the phisher to wipe the wallet clean of anything that is in it, if the connection is established.

Much depends on the approvals that the user grants to the smart contract. Many users don't care about this at all and eventually their wallets will be devastated. So we have to be extremely careful and cautious when interacting with Web3. Ideally, after each approval, revoke that approval if we no longer use the dApp.

The stated amount of winnings is a bait to make readers interesting on the site. The asking for help is just a lee way so that he can get the attention of several people here, then later he stated that the amount went through. With that huge amount of money being released by the platform, many will think that the platform is legit.

So that post is some kind of player-baiting then implements their method of scam via injecting a script that will sweep the funds of any wallet that connect to the site.

Scammers are getting more creative and advance day by day. It is really hard to trust newly created sites and services nowaday.

There is one already: Itchy.eth Attempted Phishing. The scammer's topic is removed, but what I don't get is I can't find it in modlog.

A moderator or a regular from the Meta section will certainly be able to talk about that more accurately but AFAIK moderators have a feature allowing them to send posts and threads into a kind of hidden trashcan instead of deleting them. Moderators will correct me if I'm wrong but this place is the board number 15 actually. When they do that, the owner of the post/thread doesn't receive any notification and the event is not recorded into the modlog. It could be the explanation here.

I am still wondering how someone would wake up from sleep and start telling people to believe in their post as authentic and genuine with ill intentions of account phishing and possible hack. What annoys me most is that people still fall victim of such gimmicks and tricks. Well most people who fall victim of such are the greedy ones who are not satisfied with their current state and are always moved by give aways that in the real sense are not realistic. They end up getting scammed by scammers and their wallets hacked. Some too are just too lousy and ignorant of doing their own research properly before engaging and after getting scammed they start crying and shouting for help which is not possible. I think people should be careful the way they click on links and should always do their research before getting themselves engaged in any investment activities so as to avoid the unfortunate.

But if the site is too suspicious, new registered domain, newly made site without any good reputation, no reviews in the internet, using or connecting your main wallet to it is the most stupid thing a person can do, that's why being knowledgeable is the only way to avoid them.

This is a very familiar scam in the crypto world but maybe relatively new in the gambling casinos. Usually the scammer will give you information about any airdrop or free money / tokens and ask you to connect your wallet. Once your wallet is connected, they will get hold of all your funds and your wallet will be emptied.

Similarly, many scam web 3.0 casinos may appear recently, and they will again ask you to connect your wallet. As soon as you connect it, the hackers will withdraw all your funds in it.

Solution

So the question arises what the solution for this is and how we will know if it is a scam web 3.0 casino or not?

Well, as a precautionary measure, do not connect our main wallet (which has funds) with these casinos. Make a new wallet, deposit only a few dollars with which you want to play, and connect that wallet with casino. In this case, even if the casino scams, you will only lose very little amount.

That's what I'm thinking right now that new model casinos like web 3.0 have a way to connect a wallet directly as we saw at Owlgames casino which uses a web 3.0 system by connecting a wallet directly when you want to gamble and there are several other new casinos with the same system but I can't remember the name of the casino.
But the problem here is that if it's a new casino using a new system like web 3.0, yesterday's complainant should provide some evidence such as screenshots or txid evidence to see if he really made that large withdrawal.
What's even more strange is that when Op replied to the topic created by the scammer yesterday, it was deleted by the thread owner because it was self-moderated.
If it really isn't a scam, the Op's reply should not have been deleted by the thread owner and if it has been deleted, it means that there is indeed an indication that the casino is a scam.

If the purpose of self moderating the thread is valid then there's no problem with it. But these scammers know how to use it and take advantage of it so that others don't see the members that have found their scammy tactics on what they're promoting.

I've got a friend who's got his metamask hacked by connecting automatically when he's asked for his permission and then he obliged. He thought that it was a legitimate website for the project (not a casino) that he's interested with and boom, within split seconds, his few BNB was gone.

To avoid such, whenever a website asks for permission to connect to the wallet, don't do it.

Even the optional wallet also never connect with scam sites, I think don't give opportunity for scammers to hack your wallet because one day you may forget that the wallet is already connected with the scammer's site and he has a way to empty your wallet, if you already know scam sites, so just ignore them and never be curious about the scam bonuses that are advertised.

Even if I trust a Casiono so well and they happen to be a web3 project I don't connect my wallet with funds to it, if they don't make provisions for account creation which I can generate and address and make my deposit. I usually create a separate new wallet rename it in line with that of the Casiono's name, then u fund the wallet with th exact amount I want to use under it's respective Blockchain, so that if anytime is to happen I won't lose completely but just what I was already willingly to lose on wagering if the game don't play to my favour.

This kind of scam has really been for years now from airdrops which will requires users to make such connection before the carry out their promised withdrawal which never happens, onces one authorize it's wallet to the site, about 1-2 times confirmation everything is gone back then what was targeted is that exact network native token..

The fact that the thread was made to be self-moderated is a red flag and connecting to a website provided by a random online stranger is a mistake that rookie makes, or if you ever want to connect your wallet to a site you know nothing about then create a new wallet address and use it.
I'll have to search for the post on archive so that I can take note of the casino's link so that I can avoid been scammed or phished with it. Btw, thank you for this awareness.

Cases of fraud like that happen a lot and usually the victims are new forum members or novice gamblers.

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.

Isn't this is the way most web3 casino do their business? if this is what you are referring to connect on the casino, not the typical giving the whole seed or private keys.

I don't know how it is possible from technical side. But if the site is too suspicious, new registered domain, newly made site without any good reputation, no reviews in the internet, using or connecting your main wallet to it is the most stupid thing a person can do, that's why being knowledgeable is the only way to avoid them.

Typical scam technique. Scammers are doing it from years. People are even stupid to give their private key /seed phrase.

and I hope that newbie will be aware on this new scam scheme.

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.

This topic is more suitable on scam accusation

There is one already: Itchy.eth Attempted Phishing. The scammer's topic is removed, but what I don't get is I can't find it in modlog.
