Dear community. Has this also happened to anyone? I was trying to connect my trust wallet to  pancackeswap but it return error every time. Then I went to pancackeswap website and clicked a link to their telegram group and joined. I immediately received a phone call and I explained my problem. I was sent a link to troubleshoot the problem: www.app.walletimports.com and followed the procedure. I didn't know it was stealing my secret  key because I believed that pancackeswap is a reputable company. They stole my 0.055 BNB. Be careful with that telegram group.


The point of us being scammed is that it's too easy to believe people who claim to be admins, this is an old trick that I often encounter when I get into trouble, they use the admin tag because they hope to cheat, this is what makes real admins usually use the not DM first tag , and hopefully we can learn from this.

Another lesson for us related to Telegram again. Honestly speaking these companies are all like yeah I’m set to scam this person from my group today. Lolz. How can there be so cheap f’s around us. This is really way above my head whenever I see post like this. The story they tell is always similar to someone else happened already. This is also increasing at alarming rate somehow as we see surge in new investors. Basically it’s another wolf of Wall Street with too many wolves around us to scam us. It’s also not mistake of you or me but the perfect plan they plot takes us inside them. So here is another story for all of us. Hope everyone learns!

Telegram groups that have many members will sometimes do something to trap the members. Maybe take the opportunity to create your own project and then be promoted in your own group and many will buy but there is a crime in that project. I'm always careful with choosing the right project,,?

Telegram is the best place with many scammer try to scam you, lately every time happening when I am asking about my withdrawing or deposit coin on exchange market like LBANK or Hotbit exchange market. Few minutes later have new chat as scammer try to help me but I don't believe anything with telegram helping because many of them as scammer, better never try to explore your problem on telegram group because is bad reputation with any scammer looking for new victim every day.

Well there are certain uqe you can not do, remember that there are many scammers and who do whatever to steal like this is 1 SATASHI or some BNB fraction, but you had a mistake, go directly to an unofficial group and by Telegram, what you have what to do before entering a group of telegram or discord is to look good for the possible solutions by YouTube or looking for the solutions by Google, more when they tell you that you have to follow a link and give your private keys, your private keys are unique and with Nobody must share, under any circumstances, less for a page, anyway, the experience that you should not do so again.

you have absolutely nothing to authenticate mate and am very sure official telegram group admins dont dm by now in the future just avoid anything that has to do with you sending your or receiving links from anybody All of them are scams and also May I suggest you stop using that address any further as the hacker already has the private key for that wallet

I have to say OP is not the first person to get scammed on telegram, he is not the last one either. Scamming basically a "profession" by some people, I have literally seen people with 10-11 different methods that they try every single day on hundreds of different people, from phishing to spamming weird stuff to many many other methods. So, I have to say that there is a good chance scammers will continue to keep scamming people and there is no stopping them.

I remember that there were a lot of people who scammed people inside casinos, like literally "give me your money and I will gamble better than you could gamble", how the hell so many people fell for it is beyond me. So, there are too many ways to scam but also there are some gullible people as well, there are always some people who end up losing a ton of money to these stuff.

Why do you need to check in the telegram group? You know there are so many scammers there. You can check the correct link through coingecko and cmc.

That's true but basically Telegram is also a platform to get information even if it's only at a glance and for a more complete one it is definitely on coinecko and cmc because they are two sites that are very often used by everyone in finding out about all information about tokens and coins
If you can navigate the sea of scammers that is telegram then by all means use it to check news sources or whatever you want, however if you cannot or you simply do not want to bother with all the people that are going to DM you to see if you will fall on their scams then it is better to use other sources to check the news related to the project.

I know that people prefer the convenience of telegram but if the price you have to pay for it is to expose yourself to scammers then it is not worth the risk to use such platform.

Friend, you fell for a scammer posing as an admin or pancake agent. I have never fallen for them, I usually tell them to accept Jesus as their Lord and personal savior and thereafter report spam and block them forever, sometimes I don't have time for conversation, I just report spam straight.

I think its very difficult because its impossible you use a pancakeswap and you face this type situation so i advice that please not popular in this type os fake news.
And the another thing is that if you send your phrase to anyone so your wallet hacked in few sec so kindly cannot send your phrase to anyone and the second thing is that not connect your wallet into a fake website these connection the scammer received all data and they hack your wallet id all thing.

Things like this have often happened because scamers are always looking for ways to be able to deceive every user who is negligent in maintaining the security of their wallets, so do not easily trust the telegram group that gives you even though they give you a name with excharge that has become our mainstay as it happens to you, then the connection of each wallet to the scamer website is very dangerous, In this case, we must be careful.

The main rule that everyone should remember is that they repeat over and over again. You need to keep your keys and access passwords as safe as possible, you can even keep a separate laptop for this purpose. Sites can steal cookies, and hashes, telegram bots can send infected pictures or attachments. We must always remember this.

This kind of scam has been also happened in many cases and some other also have stated in this forum.
Many people are only attracted to the profits that are promised, higher promises will really be very sweet that make many people have very big desire to join the investment or certain programs without any further analysis. Moreover right now, there are so many fake telegram groups or channels that impersonate like their original or official groups of certain platforms.
And here, we must be more careful, never only desired on something rewarded very promisingly or potentially. Always do check and crosschecks, further analysis, and also official information from the official sites of the platforms to minimize the cams.

Make sure the person who contacts you is the real pancackeswap team before you give them all the information. I have experienced many times that the person who contacted me isn't the real team, he only used a telegram username almost the same as the real one. Moreover, the real team of exchange probably doesn't ask for very secret information such as password, key phrase, private key. They don't need this secret information to solve the problem. If someone asked about it, you must suspect there is something wrong with the person.

They are actually reputable but the problem is that you have been tricked by someone who is not a part of the company, you've missed it out and clicked the pishing site leading to such a scam.

Lesson #1:  Don't easily click the link from an unknown person especially when asking for any information in regards to wallet access/keys.
Lesson #2: Don't easily trust people online especially if coming from a telegram group (unless if you know them) as there are many scammers around us.
Lesson #3: Only use and contact their support group when there is a problem/concern with your transactions.

Most newbies or even long timers will learn their lesson the hard way. And usually, it is already too late before they realize that someone who contacted them is not the official rep of the site.
I have experienced that a lot of times, though in different crypto exchange.
If you try to post in their official telegram group about your issue, someone will immediately contact you.
And the problem is, they are usually in disguise using the username of the exchange account or using the official logo.
Try to validate first if they are indeed part of the official admin group, check their official accounts and compare the username of that person.
Sometimes they are good in disguising if you don't verify their identities. And once you found out that they are fake accounts, one thing they do is delete their account.
That is based from my experience. So high likely that the OP was contacted by fake official account of pancakeswap and he fell for it.

This is a very terrible situation, many scammers are always updated and provide a very easy way to confuse a newbie just fall in their trap. I always try and avoid unrecognized chats from unknown Telegram members because, scammers use Telegram as the easy trap because almost all crypto project and exchanges usees Telegram, so we have to be cautious and always put it in our mind that Admin will not DM you first
