Warning :
Scammer are getting more sophisticated.
Thankfully, prior to installation, I moved all my personal property information to another place.


Here is my story:
First: scammer use telegram accounts to send fraudulent messages to as many people as possible.
In message full information: website, password and secret keyword

same as the image below.


after downloading and installing, same as the image below.




If you send mbtc to another address it will say something like this,
You will never send them


For your safety I put the whole website as scammer used in the image below




Unfortunately I did not get back to the scene where the crook took control my computer.

Wait a minute, so they sent you a fake Electrum & BitGo app that automatically asks you to transfer your funds to their wallet? Or were they able to hijack your computer and take control of it?

That electrum notification does pop-up when you're not inserting your ledger (if you use it as your wallet), so I'm quite confused.

while you're updating the software They take advantage of your time noticing and they control your computer like a remote control device.

Did you fell for the trap though? Before you download any crypto related apps, you have to verify it's signature like in Electrum. There has been a lot of attacks lately, Fake Electrum, MEW and Meta Mask.

Someone new trying to deal with you and has no prior conversations with you. Isn't that a big red flag to avoid such attempts? I also received such messages a while ago but now I don't find this on my TG anymore (maybe I deleted it) but the catch is that the guy is sending you password and so much sensitive information to someone he doesn't knows. Anyway can smell fishy from miles away.

Someone smart enough wouldn't fall for this.

I get the same message once or twice daily. But this is the first time I trust it. I downloaded it and installed as a result they took control of my computer.
I really feel scared.

Oh well, at least you learn your lessons here, you shouldn't trust anyone. Just because they say you download certain apps and they will gave you free cryptos, you will blindly trust and follow them. You need to be smart and think logically. Education is the key here, and that is our main weapon against those cyber criminals. Not blaming you, but next time, be very very careful.

Offers that are too good to be true are quite suspicious. Most of the time, they are attacking those gullible users that will fall to their trap. I hope other users here will learn from this situation, who knows, you will encounter similar attempts like this ? They will be in different names or forms, so should be careful in dealing with those kind of persons or fake apps.

Yes, this is probably the last time I believe in such scammer, and in the future I hope there won't be anyone who has encountered the same situation.

If you are a responsible member of the community and you learn how scammers work, you are not going to go on a project without first checking if it is legit or not, and if it's too good to be true, you will have doubts and will check diligently if the offer is legit, we are in a world or industry where there are too scammers and we need to educate ourselves on how they work.

I just started to learn about this market.
Perhap because of that, I was more easily fooled.
I had to delete all and reinstall my computer.

You made all the mistake by your own and i am pretty much sure that they got the control of your computer through that installed file. I don't know how could anyone do something foolish like this. Its seems clear to all that they plant their corrupted file on your computer by sending greedy offers through telegram  and after installation they took the control of your device. Like sometimes we take our clients teamviewer pin to complete the work by controling clients computer.

In some cases these scammer use another common way of copy/paste momentums where you copy and paste wallet address to make the transaction. In that case you will copy the address from your wallet but during paste automatically it will change the characters slightly. It's  another common way by which hackers are doing their crimes. By the way thanks for sharing all your experiences with this community.
