Topic: I have been scammed in pancackeswap telegram group - page 3. (Read 522 times)

The official pancackeswap website has links to telegram groups in different languages. I clicked on the English group link and joined. Then immediately I received a phone call!

I guess his pancake community maybe the one you're following is not official. Usually if indeed pancakeswap groups managed with professional admins certainly will not happen this kind of thing, you have to be careful, I'm sure there are always scams even in big projects like pancakeswap though.

There is a form in their webpage where you have to type the private key ☹️

I have used Pancakeswap at some time months ago and just by seeing the link that you shared, its pretty obvious that it is a phishing link already. I don't know but that site isn't linked to pancakeswap and it is being linked to a scammer who scammed you.

Social media platforms like Telegram and Discord are the ones where scammers are lurking. They will try to send you a DM out of nowhere especially if you posted that you have a problem in their official channel. Just beware and if they will ask for seed phrase then end the conversation already. I don't know if its only me but I can sense if the person I speak with is a scammer or not base on what they are saying. Just beware next time and I hope you learned from this that happened to you.

Telegram community is one of scammers place, many scammers and fraudster knows to disguise and make fake accounts that alike with a legit group. And because of this, many falls into this trap especially the newbie ones since they aren't inspecting and investigate if the group was only made for fake accounts, they would immediately believe that the telegram can give them opportunity. I have a lot of examples to this especially the airdrop campaigns, bunch of fake airdrop campaigns in the telegram generates fake links and phising sites that allows your wallet or private keys to be get by their links.

Thanks but now I can't find a telegram group for Pancackeswap. There is only an announcement channel. Can you please send me a link to telegram group? I still have trouble connecting the wallet. I tried Trust and Token Pot but they both return PROVIDER ERROR

the essence of the mistake is in you ,do not entrust the private key to the web or anyone else ! It's personal to you ,don't believe in anything or anyone ! hopefully it will be a valuable lesson for you and get more money from the loss ,always remember this : your assets are only to yours and the ownership of the data must be kept in the safest storage!

My own mistake, typing my seed phrase in a web form. Never again

Thanks for your time to comment. I will never be stupid again

I was in right website and I clicked the link to the telegram group and it less me there. Maybe Pancackeswap has to look into this issue.

Big mistake OP, before entering a url in trust wallet browser you should triple check first the correct and legit URL, if you are unsure you can search it in Coingecko or Coinmarketcap and not anywhere else. I hope you learned you lesson now and be very careful next time you use exchange URL.   

It looks like you have linked your wallet to a fake pancackeswap site, because if you link it to a real pancackeswap site I think your funds will be fine there, lately because of the popular DEFI trend many newbies fall victim to scams because many of them not careful and unable to distinguish real sites and fake sites when connecting the wallet to the DEFI exchange.

Deactivate PMs on your telegram account settings you will be free from a this scam nonsense happening almost everyday on telegram, the rules is don't allow any direct messages even if anyone says they are team member of the project or group, DMs are scam 100%

Sorry about that, it's sad they stole your BNB but you should be happy you don't have more than that because they don't have mercy. You should forget about that wallet because and never use it again for any transaction.
You said "Be careful with that telegram group" based on your experience but I'll tell you to be careful with all Crypto based telegram groups because those guys are lurking around every group looking for vulnerable people to feed on.

I think its not the official website of pancakeswap because the one who called you is a scammer.

Thats why we need to be extra careful on clicking links, it might be a phishing site to steal your info. Did you input your keys? If so then it might be the reason why you lost your BNB.

Anyway its a lesson learned for you and newbies should be aware on this kind of tactics.

This is what they're doing they set all the traps to steal our funds, to avoid such kinds of scams, we need to keep in touch with our senses and think about the probability whenever we get some offer, we think it as if it scam. so whenever they start to ask something, it's automatically a red light and it's the time for us to back out. But the best thing to avoid such tragedy is to ignore it every time we received such offers, whether it is from emails or in our personal inbox.

Dont be sorry to op because to be scammed can happen to anybody, right now you don't know when your own time will come to  be scam from people also, i forbid all this social media advertisement of cryptocurrency investment, some of them is being prepared by original scammers that have strong device to operate, going into social media like Facebook, telegram for bitcoin investment is forbidden because i know that there in this platform don't have work than to look for whom they will scam

It's gone forever, don't believe with such customer supports that would ask you to import your wallet and connect to any given website. It should be only you that would be connecting to the official pancakeswap and any other website that you're trying to connect.
These scammers would do everything to fool people that are just trying to get some help that they have encountered with a problem. But instead, they took advantage, thanks for sharing and I hope the others won't be a victim of this scam.

I find telegram a very creepy place, there are so many DMs in my account and I just ignored them all of the time. Unless it is the one that I have DM first. They mostly use sexy female pictures and greet you first like they are asking to date or something similar. The funny thing is my telegram has so many deleted accounts named, it's understandable that all of those arr just dummy accounts and used to scam people, I bet those behind those accounts are muscular and bearded person I guess.

In order to avoid telegram group members being scammed, administrators of most reputable telegram groups in most cases will inform the group members that they will not DM you first, that is, they will not contact you first. So, the fact that you were contacted first means that there was indeed an ulterior motive behind the contact. Currently, there are numerous scam telegram groups bearing the same name as original telegram groups.

I had a recent observation as regards Santa coin telegram. I observed there were two telegram groups bearing ‘Santa Coin Official'. One of the groups, numbering about 9318, as at the time of making this comment, was doing a promo. The promo requires that if you send Santa Coin to a particular wallet address, they will send back 3 times the value back to your wallet. There were testimonies of those have already benefited from the promo on the telegram group. Messages in this group were locked. The other telegram group, which is the original group, numbering about 14175, had nothing of such being discussed, except the usual encouragement to buy Santa Coin. The messaging is open, so I, decided to ask if there are any on-going promo whereby, you get three times Santa Coin when you send to an address, the group reacted immediately that there was no such thing, that it must be a scam. This implies that people are out there, fully prepared to scam people that are not careful enough to ensure they are in the right telegram group.
