😱 CONNECTED MY WALLET TO A FAKE EXCHANGE — LOST $660K IN SECONDS
One of the most painful stories of the week. And, unfortunately, far from the last of its kind.
A guy visited a crypto exchange site that looked completely legit — interface, logo, everything in place. He connected his wallet. And almost immediately lost $660,000.
No transaction confirmations, no warnings. Just — gone.
The final touch:
Once he came to his senses, the guy messaged the scammers and offered $60k as a reward for returning the full amount. They declined. Makes sense — why return $660k for $60k when you can just keep $660k?
Here's the lowdown on how this works: fake exchanges don’t steal through hacks — they get permission from the victim themselves. When connecting a wallet, the site asks for approval to manage tokens, and if the person confirms it — the script drains everything automatically in a matter of seconds.
