Staking Help Needed

[Ronin.X]

I have a friend that is asking me to do Staking Link. I have no knowledge of this field and want peer input. She asked me to go to my Trust wallet app and go to "Discover" on bottom right of app and type in the URLs listed below. When I do so, the URL asks to connect to my wallet.

My questions are:

• How do I confirm validity of the link in terms of Staking Link?
• Is this a scam?
• Rephrasing from above, will I lose my cryptocurrency doing this and connecting to my wallet?
• Any other helpful information is appreciated.

I cannot find anything on this site via google search.

This is not meant for link spam.

Warning: Do not click the link if you have no way to verify validity or software protection. Do not use the link for the Staking. I went to the link but my virus scanners did not pick up anything and I tried to use link scanners but they returned no results.

The websites she gave me to connect are:
https://www.toplinkex.com

https://www.toplinkapp.com

She stated that they are the same website for the above two URL.

Both sites are likely all scam

Just from looking at them, all they need you to do is connect your wallet and no other important information for the user is displayed. They are also poorly built websites.
Let me guess, the so-called friend is someone you recently got from one of those online social media apps? You might be in for what is known as a pig-butchering scam. Don't connect your wallet at all.

Coinbase wallet extension is already warning me about one of the sites when I try to visit it.

Thank you for the heads up. Yes, unfortunately I met them on social media and thought we were good friends until this, so I don't know if they are compromised themselves or part of it.

It's good you reached out and sought for help.

They are definitely part of the scam, so you should not trust that person. You can read about the Pig Butchering scam to understand how they pull it off and scam so many people around. We have had so many people come to open scam accusation in this forum after getting their money stolen in the same fashion.
