I have been scammed in pancackeswap telegram group

[ice18]

Dear community. Has this also happened to anyone? I was trying to connect my trust wallet to  pancackeswap but it return error every time. Then I went to pancackeswap website and clicked a link to their telegram group and joined. I immediately received a phone call and I explained my problem. I was sent a link to troubleshoot the problem: www.app.walletimports.com and followed the procedure. I didn't know it was stealing my secret  key because I believed that pancackeswap is a reputable company. They stole my 0.055 BNB. Be careful with that telegram group.

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.

if you're in the right site of pancakeswap, probably its impossible to happen, but if you visit the wrong site that provides links and etc for sure it's a scam because indeed pancakeswap has their own chat room for support within the site.. So if you encounter such way when it comes contacting support better to get out as soon as possible while its not late to prevent hacking..

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.

personally, I've never experienced that on pancakeswap. have you tried login in from a trustwallet or from PC? so many questions about it. I can conclude, it's probably a phishing site or something. besides, in telegram there are so many scammers there, so i never trust the person who first pm me. You have to re-check the site that you created, friend, because this can affect your next transaction.

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

I'm surprised that you are wearing a full member rank and yet you fall to this cheap trick, never share your private key whoever ask it, that's the first rule of the thumb it's a warning that applies to all project and application, Pancakeswap is a reputable company the cause is your ignorance on giving your private key and joining an unofficial telegram group.

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

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!

You are not the only one there are many here who have been scammed in the same manner. That is why you should respond to DMs on telegram and discord. You should never receive calls on telegram unless you know that particular individual. Scammers nowadays impersonate IDs and straight away call which makes it hard for anyone to check the ID. Beware of such new tacts by scammers and always stay safe.

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

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.

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.

must be careful and check again before making any transactions. how does his website take your private key? did you write it manually or what ? giving the private key is fatal. you should already know the basics if the private key can fully access the wallet.

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

[eXtremal]

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.

[raslimali]

Im so sorry to hear that. You should check the telegram account that shared the link before clicking on it. Whether the admin/official account of the group or not. Many fake accounts on telegram trying to scam in various ways. We have to be careful to avoid scammers

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!

[poodle63]

Pancake swap will never steal your money. It's not pancake swap but itseems like that you have been getting scammed. Pancake never try to sent you a dm or even call you. How can you receive a call from pancake swap if pancakeswap was never doing this? As far as i know that if you may be connecting your site to the fake pancake swap. So many times people have been warned about this. Pancakeswap will never call anyone or something like this. This thing is being done by scammer. You should check the domain again. Pancakeswap never gets error as it's always running smoothly anytime. Are you sending your privatekey to the fake site like what you have mentioned above? that's why your money was getting stolen by scammer. You're following the procedure that already made by scammers to trap you. Pancakeswap has nothing to do with this. It may fake group

You have been scammed, all the official teams from the telegram project will definitely include it (not DM first), so if you receive a DM from anyone without you ever asking, then it is scammers, when your wallet is connected to the site they provided, they have recorded the private key and they will take anything there, of course this is a valuable lesson for anyone not to believe in DM first.

[raslimali]

I have heard of Emails, messages but which one is the phone calls again. So sorry that you fall a victim though and this will also allow others to learn from your example.

If it was a DM I could easily recognize it as a scam. But with a phone call I had no time to think clearly. But I have learned a lesson.

Please check the trustworthiness of the links before clicking on or connecting the wallet to unfamiliar websites. When you want to use pancakeswap, you can find the exact link on Coinmarketcap. As for the link you provided above, it's a scam site, there are always crooks ready to steal your money in any way. Be very careful before connecting the wallet and never reveal the private key

Be wary of people who send DMs on telegram, when we type problems in the group, many will try to solve it, but rest assured it is scammers who are trying to steal our assets with various methods, and I often get DMs like that asking for fees for transaction fees, connection to wallet and so on.

[Kadal Ijo]

Sending a DM is the easiest method we can avoid if we are vigilant, when we want to connect a wallet, make sure to look for a lot of information, currently the easiest way for scammers is to send BSC or MATIC tokens by including the address on the official site so people will be interested in going there.

[gabbie2010]

Indeed now more and more lively fraud via telegram and also gmail, this is what we need to be aware of because they just want to try to deceive us in any way just for the sake of getting our personal data.
I've also had an incident like what you said but I realized it myself because it was just a scam. What's more if it's dealing with our crypto wallet, it must be guarded as well as possible.

Telegram has been the most used avenue by scammers to perpetuate their dastardly activities, scammers cloned binance Telegram group and used it to scam unsuspecting newbies, it's a pity the OP fell for this kind of trick probably the OP joined a cloned pancackeswap telegram group created by scammers unknowingly gave out private keys to the wrong hand, a further research or enquires using google would have resolved that issue of not connecting the two wallets.

can you give us a link or picture of the telegram group so that we are also careful because currently there are many fake telegram groups disguised as the original pancakeswap group

I think what happened to you should be a lesson for you because as far as I know the Official group will not provide assistance to those who need it directly. you have a big heart by forgetting your loss and warning other members, thank you

[Bollexz1]

The call you received was never from pancakeswap. You got hijacked by the scammers but never you got to realized until the operation became successful. Be wary of TG communities as there are too many rippers there.
