I have been scammed in pancackeswap telegram group

[tvplus006]

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...

It makes no sense to publish fake groups here, since someone will definitely follow these links and may lose money. It is much easier to learn how to correctly identify the original website and social networks of the project using Coinmarketcap data.

All you do need is common sense but there are people who do really lack this kind of thing which would really be resulting on losing money.Everything which turns out to be good to be true then better
have doubts on dealing or transacting with it because it is mostly a scam and also  dont believe easily with those groups if we do consider on how rampant the scams are
which had been using up these messaging platforms and other means then you would really able to save up your ass up on these conditions.

You were scammed for $30.00 USD (0.055 $BNB). As far as crypto scams go, you got off extremely lightly. I hope you learn from this and do some research on how to stay safe in the crypto world before you go any further.

1st tip: The Binance world is the home of the most scamming by far. Find a new pond to play around in.

2nd tip: never use the compromised account / wallet again. The scammers own it.

3rd: DO NOT USE THE DEVICE AT ALL that you installed the bogus app on for anything important. No banking, no financial apps, no important personal data, etc. The scammers almost certainly have installed malware alongside the fake app (you gave them permissions to intall an app and link your wallet) and likely own that device.

You need to completely wipe that device, it's operating system, and reinstall everything from scratch.

A good place to learn about crypto FOR FREE is "DAN Teaches Crypto". Their security and safety lesson is about 1 hour, and well worth the time investment. Judging by this posting, you ought to do the whole free course.

It is quite unfortunate that there are many scammers who are taking advantage of many people in this industry. And these scammers are very creative on finding ways and means to get their victims. I am one of the victims too...having lost my BAKE tokens from my Trustwallet and until now I could not still fathom how the scammer was able to withdraw the tokens because I am already aware to never share the private key to anyone...the big fault I made was not having the password set-up for the wallet which Trustwallet do also require the same for every transaction. a big lesson for me and for all of us to do everything to safeguard all of our digital assets...and lately I saw many tokens just entered my wallet for no reason and now I know those are scams too.

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.

You as a full-time Member on bitcointalk should ought to have know by now that you were escorted into the lionsden, you had the chance to block and repot he spam the moment you received a called from stranger but you went ahead to click on a mysterious link.
You will see, it's Bodly written on their Telegram group that they have no support outside the chart, Infact all your problems should be discussed on the group as there are many impersonators claiming to be an admin. Next time, don't entertain any messages or calls from unknown admin.

I don't know how many people do this but I believe it is a better way to get to any exchange be it DEX or CEX. I will always go from the exchange link on Coinmarket Cap or Coingecko. This way I believe I am connecting to the right exchange and have that bookmarked for future use. I hardly connect to any lint from telegram it is from the Admin and getting a call instantly was even suspicious. Sorry about your loss.

Pancakeswap is really great exchange and if you are facing any issue first update your app if it is updated and issue still continue then switch your browser there alot of option nowadays like Safepal, Trust wallet, Mew wallet, Metamask and more again if issue still continue then simple wait as Pancakeswap is trusted exchange it can't be down for too long it is really sad to hear but somehow it is our responsibility to don't connect our main wallet to any unknown site life lesson is very important it help us to getting better

This happened to almost all crypto newbies I know I'm sorry for your loss now I believe you've learnt your lessons, no one will DM you for legit reasons it's always scam DMs, here are other things to look out for

1. Don't run after what's not yours, when you see unknown tokens in your wallet address it's a scam, they will trap you once you try to sell the tokens, just ignore the tokens you don't know anything about

2. Use coinmarketcap to get the real tokens and coins websites and contract address and always disconnect your wallet from any connected Dex or website after purchase is been done

Your first paragraph should also have been numbered too because it contains viable advice. In every crypto telegram group, the mods and admins always have that tag of "we won't DM you first". It's a policy thing for projects because they know that a lot of scammers are on the loose seeking whom to devour. But I've seen a lot of peeps not reading at all. Most times they ask questions whose answers had been answered by the poster right before them. Yet, they won't know because they don't read.

In same manner, I find a lot of strange tokens in my Trust Wallet that I didn't buy. I get to see the tokens only when I run a bscscan on my wallet. Without that, I only see the tokens I bought myself. So, do I chase or try to claim those strange tokens? Of course, not. I know doing that will lead to a wallet hack. But I know a lot of people fall for that kind of scam. It's greed that leads to that. If you didn't buy it, don't attempt to claim it. It's a gimmick that will eventually get your wallet hacked.

Number 2 is the right way to go. Always follow projects by getting their links through CG or CMC where they're listed, and not through a back door.

[Benefactor]

On the off chance that you experience such way when it comes reaching support better to get out quickly while its not late to forestall hacking. Pancakeswap is a legitimate organization the reason is your obliviousness on giving your private key and joining an informal message bunch. You need to re-check the site that you made, companion, since this can influence your next exchange.

Scams like this have often happened and scammers know which members can be cheated, the safest thing for us is always to keep the wallet and don't be too easy to connect, study it first and if in doubt it's better to leave.

You may not like it but scammers like that are part of the market and are always trying to look for an opportunity to earn some easy money, this is why you must not trust anyone with information that could give them access to your coins, it does not matter what they say or who they try to impersonate, do not give that information away, because the moment you do so then that is the moment you will lose your coins and you will never see them again.

[Anguwa]

This is a very terrible situation, many scammers are always updated and provide a very easy way to confuse a newbie just fall in their trap. I always try and avoid unrecognized chats from unknown Telegram members because, scammers use Telegram as the easy trap because almost all crypto project and exchanges usees Telegram, so we have to be cautious and always put it in our mind that Admin will not DM you first

They are actually reputable but the problem is that you have been tricked by someone who is not a part of the company, you've missed it out and clicked the pishing site leading to such a scam.

Lesson #1:  Don't easily click the link from an unknown person especially when asking for any information in regards to wallet access/keys.
Lesson #2: Don't easily trust people online especially if coming from a telegram group (unless if you know them) as there are many scammers around us.
Lesson #3: Only use and contact their support group when there is a problem/concern with your transactions.

Most newbies or even long timers will learn their lesson the hard way. And usually, it is already too late before they realize that someone who contacted them is not the official rep of the site.
I have experienced that a lot of times, though in different crypto exchange.
If you try to post in their official telegram group about your issue, someone will immediately contact you.
And the problem is, they are usually in disguise using the username of the exchange account or using the official logo.
Try to validate first if they are indeed part of the official admin group, check their official accounts and compare the username of that person.
Sometimes they are good in disguising if you don't verify their identities. And once you found out that they are fake accounts, one thing they do is delete their account.
That is based from my experience. So high likely that the OP was contacted by fake official account of pancakeswap and he fell for it.

[bct-user]

Make sure the person who contacts you is the real pancackeswap team before you give them all the information. I have experienced many times that the person who contacted me isn't the real team, he only used a telegram username almost the same as the real one. Moreover, the real team of exchange probably doesn't ask for very secret information such as password, key phrase, private key. They don't need this secret information to solve the problem. If someone asked about it, you must suspect there is something wrong with the person.

[TelolettOm]

This kind of scam has been also happened in many cases and some other also have stated in this forum.
Many people are only attracted to the profits that are promised, higher promises will really be very sweet that make many people have very big desire to join the investment or certain programs without any further analysis. Moreover right now, there are so many fake telegram groups or channels that impersonate like their original or official groups of certain platforms.
And here, we must be more careful, never only desired on something rewarded very promisingly or potentially. Always do check and crosschecks, further analysis, and also official information from the official sites of the platforms to minimize the cams.

[jeungo]

The main rule that everyone should remember is that they repeat over and over again. You need to keep your keys and access passwords as safe as possible, you can even keep a separate laptop for this purpose. Sites can steal cookies, and hashes, telegram bots can send infected pictures or attachments. We must always remember this.

[WannaCry]

Why do you need to check in the telegram group? You know there are so many scammers there. You can check the correct link through coingecko and cmc.

[slaman29]

Do what I did a long time ago. Uninstall Telegram. Trust me, you will thank me for it.

You get rid of: spam, scam, tiring charts, stupid hellos hi hrus.
You get back: your life, and more time to spend on this forum where the actual good stuff happens

I never miss it one bit. I would even recommend to do the same with social media!

[Wildwest]

Things like this have often happened because scamers are always looking for ways to be able to deceive every user who is negligent in maintaining the security of their wallets, so do not easily trust the telegram group that gives you even though they give you a name with excharge that has become our mainstay as it happens to you, then the connection of each wallet to the scamer website is very dangerous, In this case, we must be careful.
