Title: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: wekael on July 25, 2020, 03:21:45 PM
I bough some TrustSwap and now on discord the offical "Jeff Kirdeikis" writing me i
have a bug where i will looose 90% chance my coins in my metamask wallet when i transfer.
he need now my encrypted wallet hash to investigate in this.

This sounds really scammy....
could anyone help me??

[17:15]
you try to make a new signature on a transaction and it may not work causing it to be lost forever
[17:15]
which is why as I said I advise you not to move anything just yet
[17:15]
we're in the early stages of investigating this issue
[17:15]
can you get to your computer now?


Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:16 Uhr
there's around 90% chance that you'll lose coins
[17:16]
don't say I didn't warn you.

Never heard about such thing as an "encrypted wallet hash". But a cryptographic hash won't help his investigate anything. Maybe he tries to trick you into giving your seed or private key, because a hash and a private key have the same format. Either way, don't tell him anything. Ask him to explain what is the problem. Look at Metamask's github or social profile to see if there's a warning about some ongoing bug.

Your instincts are correct, this does look like a typical scam.

[16:55]
lol

Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 16:55 Uhr
anyway I'm reaching out regarding an issue with metamask, are you a user of it?

Die Kadseheute um 16:55 Uhr
yes
[16:55]
whats the issue

Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 16:55 Uhr
users have been increasingly reporting not being able to spend their coins after using metamask in coordination with uniswap. not sure what it is yet. if it turns out to be big in scope I'll release an announcement, but currently just trying to figure out exactly what causes it
[16:55]
when's the last time you used it?

Die Kadseheute um 16:57 Uhr
today like 1h ago

Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 16:57 Uhr
weird. what's your public address?

Die Kadseheute um 16:57 Uhr
never had any problem with uniswap and metamask

Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 16:57 Uhr
I woke up to 12 dm's about this issue this morning

Die Kadseheute um 16:57 Uhr
i dont want to get tracked

Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 16:58 Uhr
you've already seen I'm a team member. I won't track you.
[16:58]
after this convo I'll delete it from my end.

Die Kadseheute um 16:59 Uhr
For what do you need my address when i dont have the problem?

Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 16:59 Uhr
you may have the problem. I advise you not to move anything until further notice.
[16:59]
right now we're looking into the issue and just how widespread it is.

    you have the same error in the transaction ledger as they do.

    don't do anything until I give you the green light. looking into this further.
    [17:06]
    are you able to access your computer at the moment?
    [17:07]
    and get to your wallet

    Die Kadseheute um 17:07 Uhr
    lol yes why

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:07 Uhr
    get me your encrypted wallet hash (AES)
    [17:08]
    I'll look at the tx slate and see if there's any backend issue that causes this.

    Die Kadseheute um 17:08 Uhr
    what lool

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:08 Uhr
    it's your wallet hash encrypted with your public key using AES 128 bit encryption, that's what an encrypted wallet hash is(Bearbeitet)

    Die Kadseheute um 17:08 Uhr
    no

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:08 Uhr
    do you know how to get this
    [17:09]
    there's a high chance if you try to send coins that they may get lost or burned

    Die Kadseheute um 17:09 Uhr
    my swap coins or my ether from metamask?

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:09 Uhr
    possibly both the ETH and SWAP in the wallet you just showed me

    Die Kadseheute um 17:10 Uhr
    how did you get the roles

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:10 Uhr
    ?

    Die Kadseheute um 17:10 Uhr
    is this a whole scam discord server or what

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:10 Uhr
    are you kidding? this is the official discord.

    Die Kadseheute um 17:10 Uhr
    you want my private key or what

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:11 Uhr
    that's not what an encrypted wallet hash is
    [17:11]
    look if you don't wanna do this that's fine, but don't complain if it turns out your funds get lost.
    [17:11]
    you already verified I'm a team member so not sure why you aren't stopping with the accusations.
    [17:12]
    this is the official discord. how did you even find it? look at our other social medias and this will be linked.

    Die Kadseheute um 17:12 Uhr
    what the fuck is going on
    [17:12]
    you tell me i buy your coin and can loose all my funds or what

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:12 Uhr
    I'll make sure it won't get lost.
    [17:12]
    it seems to be a backend issue with the transaction slate
    [17:12]
    don't worry I'll make sure your funds are safe.
    [17:13]
    just follow my instructions.

    Die Kadseheute um 17:13 Uhr
    why is there nothing to read about it and no fix annoucnment

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:13 Uhr
    there's no announcement yet because nothing is fully confirmed
    [17:13]
    you're one of the first people I've discovered this issue with.

    Die Kadseheute um 17:13 Uhr
    at the start you told me 12 people wrote you

    Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 17:13 Uhr
    that's why I'm having you do this. if it turns out it's a widespread, issue, itll be announced
    [17:13]
    yes
    [17:13]
    you're one of 13
    [17:13]
    which compared to the thousands of users is nothing
    [17:14]
    just please cooperate so if this is a widespread issue we can fix it for everyone.

    how should that even work that a token copromises the metamask wallet

If what you mean is a kind of Private Key, it is a very fatal mistake if you give it, because when he has it he has full control of your wallet. But thankfully you are aware that he is trying to deceive you, stay alert


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: crwth on July 25, 2020, 03:42:33 PM
I don’t know what encrypted wallet hash means, but it seems that if you have an address and that hash key encryption, you could /derive for the possible private key? It’s just a guess, but what are you using their service for, btw? I think if you are in the right server, it’s safe to consider that they are an admin. Possibly verify his identity with the service too.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: Coyster on July 25, 2020, 03:46:34 PM
It's a scam, you make sure you do not send him anything (hash, private keys or whatever) there is prolly no bugs on your wallet and 'Jeff' is trying to get you tensed up to send him private information about your wallet that can be used to steal coins from it. BTW, are you experiencing any bugs or difficulty in using your wallet?

If you have any issues with your wallet, contact support or any of their official pages or post it here on the forum for help, any pm that comes in this form offering help is a scam.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: jossiel on July 25, 2020, 07:05:15 PM
I'm not also familiar with that "encrypted wallet hash" but if that relates to your private key or seed, you shouldn't give it to anyone. I just noticed why the guy is persistent to tell you that you'll lose 90% of your coins and not all?

Noticed to on why he's also pushing you to get to your computer.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: SamuelR on July 26, 2020, 09:11:11 PM
This is a scammer impersonating Jeff as well as other trustswap Team members. Post a screenshot of your message in the #swap-scams discord channel. There have been quite a few scammers impersonating team members so they made a channel to share screenshots of it so they can block them.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: doctor877 on July 26, 2020, 09:38:11 PM
this sounds like its heading to somehere just starting with that. the encryption cant be used to hack your account, private keys or seed phrase will be needed.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: Krislaw on July 26, 2020, 09:54:10 PM
This is clearly a scam because no admin would DM for such sensitive info. Even if it's a really the admin, you still need to be careful because humans are known to change. The admin account could have been hijacked too, who knows?
Lol... he even said you will only lose 90% and not all. ;D


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: suryapro on July 26, 2020, 11:35:13 PM
It will be better if you can keep your private key or wallet phrase to yourself, don't ever reveal this to anybody and any site asking you for this is nothing else but a scam site. Beware.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: Eddyc on July 26, 2020, 11:49:47 PM
Ultimately if you are having problems with your wallet or technical problems ask questions here on the forum or ask people with a high level of experience. Therefore, we must not send any information that could compromise us or leave us vulnerable to a possible invasion.

After Looking for trustswap and I found this one https://boxmining.com/trustswap-explained/ and its explain that It's a new defi project.

I want to ask where did you buy the tokens? And why you need to contact the support is there any problem with your tokens holdings?



Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: peterlustig on July 27, 2020, 08:44:02 AM
Looks and feels like a scam to be honest. I don't understand what encrypted wallet hash is but I think he talking about a private key? And we should never share our private key with strangers. To be 100% sure I think you should contact their support and get help.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: Blue_oxen on July 27, 2020, 10:13:35 AM
Clearly it seems like an scam attempt, what the hell is encrypted wallet hash though? Is he reffering to wallet file? Anyway, you need to nothing to do. Make a small transfer, you have nothing to worry about.
True! Any attempt to get your private key or your wallet information other than your wallet address can be a risk! I'm sure that there will be nobody ask you for such a private and security question about your wallet. If anyone try to ask you that and you don't feel so safe, just drop the chat! Better miss something than being scammed!

Post by: nicecrypto on July 27, 2020, 10:48:29 AM
Bro any sensitive information about your wallet don't share it with anyone, if he is requesting all this information means he plans something bad and you should stop and not send that information to him at all, you have to be careful with such people.

Sorry, But I'm not quite familiar with that wallet. And aside from that I don't trust with the discord apps.
Because this apps was also being used most tf the time by the opposrtunist or scammers to find collect fund
from the investors. just simple as that.

Post by: Avirunes on July 27, 2020, 03:21:24 PM
Don't provide anything sensitive even if the form of encrypted. They can bruteforce the password and can break the encryption easily. I think he is asking for the sensitive information which is usually encrypted. It is easy for them afterwards if you provide them even that.

Are you sure he is part of the team? If he is then report about it publicly and let other investors know about it as well so that they don't fall for this.

Never heard about such thing as an "encrypted wallet hash". But a cryptographic hash won't help his investigate anything. Maybe he tries to trick you into giving your seed or private key, because a hash and a private key have the same format. Either way, don't tell him anything. Ask him to explain what is the problem. Look at Metamask's github or social profile to see if there's a warning about some ongoing bug.

Your instincts are correct, this does look like a typical scam.

Exactly, I'm thinking the same way.  You need to be very careful. I don't think a support centre can request for seed phrase/private key to your wallet address.  Any request like that looks more of scam than real.  Be careful of giving encrypted information about your wallet out, especially if you have lots of valuables in there.

Pls I think you should stay off that channel.

IT IS A SCAMMER who is IMPERSONATING THE TEAM MEMBERS OF TRUSTSWAP


USING DISCORD NITRO, THEY ARE FAKING THEIR DISCORD ID TO MATCH THE TEAM MEMBERS' ID.


Team members of SWAP will never DM you first. They will never ask you for money or any such stuff.

Post by: albon on August 06, 2020, 10:35:37 PM
This is undoubtedly a scam, I joined the TrustSwap official discord channel and found in the #swap-scam room that there are a lot of members that this scammer who impersonates CEO Jeff Kirdeikis has chatted with. You should know that team members of any project will not send DM first and will NEVER ask for crypto / fiat or your private keys.

Jeff Kirdeikisheute um 16:57 Uhr
weird. what's your public address?

Die Kadseheute um 16:57 Uhr
never had any problem with uniswap and metamask

As I read into your convo, I'd never see that he ask your private key, he only needs your wallet address just to track your transaction and I don't think there is a big deal unless if he wants the keys also. But somehow you didn't even cooperate with him and tend to think that he will scam you and I don't think that was his plan because I'd find out that he is serious in dealing with you just to give the best solution and help you out. But it was hard for you to follow what he says and not giving him the address he asks.

I'm not a part of them but I see that he wants to help not to scam. I hope you get mind.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: Shallow on August 06, 2020, 11:09:24 PM
Just hearing about encrypted wallet hash and why asking about that in particular? In as much as I don't know much about the whole thing, I would only suggest you mind the type of information you release to him because scammers have different ways of tricking people into coming in terms with them and thus releasing sensitive information. Get in touch with the core team if possible as it will aid you into making the right thing. And lastly one of the common things to know in every project group is that, no admin or team will send you a message first, any issue is discussed in the group and if you want their attention, you initiate a chat.


Title: Re: Do i get scammed? he want my encrypted wallet hash?
Post by: shollyen on August 06, 2020, 11:29:19 PM
It is high time we became more security conscious. There is hardly anyone to trust, not even the team of a project because you can see their other side any time. Although, some of them are trustworthy, but it does not imply that you should entrust your security details with them.

Encrypted hash wallet?
Wow, so he ensured you to give it in order to get your private key, right? I think this is new idea of scam where he will warn you about a mistake and make you panic. then you will fall into his deceive to get your private keys. Watch out of this scam. he is trying to scam you and then steal your money. Never give such important information to whoever, whether he wants to help you or not. Everyone that you don't know will never help each other moreover asking for important information about the wallet.

Definitely a scam. No operator or admin will ever say things like that. Just ignore it. A friend of mine fell for that, she lost atleast a 100k of tokens.

I am not sure what he is asking for but usually, admins don't ask for other details that could compromise your wallet. The only detail that admins can ask to assist you will be transaction hash or public address. Do not trust anyone with your wallet information.

Post by: maxreish on August 07, 2020, 08:53:46 AM
Obviously a scam.
Never ever trust anyone especially in online groups like that and never ever give such informations easily.
I've seen so many conversations as that of yours and your instinct is surely correct.

If you can also observe, scammers are trying to pressure the victims. Just like what he was doing to you.
Always be cautious.
