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.comhttps://www.toplinkapp.comShe stated that they are the same website for the above two URL.

You can search for it and see the one that most sites are referring to. But for you not to make any mistake, you can ask on a forum like this. If you ask on this forum, people will give you the right site. If it is the right URL, it is not a scam. But as you know, if the site is fake, it is a scam with no two intentions than to steal your coins. If you connect to the legit site, you will not lose your coins. But if it is a fake site, you will connect your wallet and send the coins to the scammer and your coins would be lost. You can also Stake some coins without connecting your wallet. All you need is to click on 'earn' on Trust wallet and follow the next step to stake your coins. Worth knowing that Trust wallet is close source and I do not recommend close source wallets.

I personally have never heard or used the website that you mentioned. Since you mentioned that you are using Trust wallet why not use thier staking features. I have in the past staked BNB using Trust wallet which at that time was giving good APY. As of now I am using the Binance exchange earn features to stake BNB.

- How do I confirm validity of the link in terms of Staking Link?
- Is this a scam?
You should determine first the official website of the DeFi service you are using. If you don’t have enough knowledge about crypto, You can use coinmarketcap or coingecko for list of DeFi website. - Rephrasing from above, will I lose my cryptocurrency doing this and connecting to my wallet?
- Any other helpful information is appreciated.
Absolutely, You will lose everything if you connect your wallet to a scam website because you are giving access to your wallet once you connect it on a website that’s why it’s important to know that you are using the correct website.

I tried to click the site but it shows a QR code and requesting to connect to our wallet it looks like a phishing site and the site loading super slow. How did you find this site? Weird no one mention this but after checking it on Whois the domain was just registered 2 days ago and hosted on the free Alibaba cloud. Whois result: Domain: toplinkex.com Registrar: ALIBABA.COM SINGAPORE E-COMMERCE PRIVATE LIMITED Registered On: 2024-07-25 Expires On: 2025-07-25 Updated On: 2024-07-25 Status: ok Name Servers: ns7.alidns.com ns8.alidns.com It seems you are affiliated with them or you own this website because it was 2 days old domain and the other domain is 7 days old they work the same asking to connect to your wallet and it loads very slow and it is hosted on AWS.

I even tried to look if staking in trustwallet with link is there but I don't see it there being supported. How do I confirm validity of the link in terms of Staking Link? Websites like its own: https://blog.chain.link/how-to-stake-chainlink-link/Rephrasing from above, will I lose my cryptocurrency doing this and connecting to my wallet?
Yes, very likely and that's why don't connect your wallets to any random and sketchy websites. Any other helpful information is appreciated.
You should check websites like this: https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/chainlink

From the display of the site it looks like it's a fake site, and when your web3 wallet interact with that, it's possible that all the balance you have in your wallet will be lost. If I understand correctly, you want to try staking your Chainlink (LINK) right? Chainlink (LINK) is one of the mainstream cryptocurrencies and many people know about this token, I think you can easily find staking offers on big CEXs like Binance & OKX. You can do your own search for it, but one thing is for sure, stay away from sites that your friends say, maybe they want to trap you.

Thanks for all the feedback. This was very helpful and I will not be utilizing them to stake. It seems you are affiliated with them or you own this website because it was 2 days old domain and the other domain is 7 days old they work the same asking to connect to your wallet and it loads very slow and it is hosted on AWS.
No. I am in no way affiliated with them/I don't own this and I added the disclaimer warning to not use the link for Staking. This friend tells me to use it to stake and I don't want to lose my coins or compromise my phone on these websites. Thank you though for providing the WHOIS and I didn't even think about using this when looking at the links. 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.
I even tried to look if staking in trustwallet with link is there but I don't see it there being supported. How do I confirm validity of the link in terms of Staking Link?

at this point if you have so much doubt you better off not staking then. staking is time constrained activity where you put your money at custody and risking it for contract breach or the dev just running away with the money, if you are doubtful in the first place, you won't have peace of mind keeping your money in this platform. at this point you better off trying to stake with reputable platform. like bybit and binance with their launchpool, or bitget with their poolx (do learn about how they work and the risk first just to be clear) like below picture is an example. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2Ffk4FTJ6y%2Fbyblpool.png&t=665&c=gWcjaiVGoIdi9g) also, there are many ways these scammers can steal your money, connecting wallet and then approving your token to be used by them is also one way of them to steal your money, so always be careful. many newbies actually fall victim into this scheme, this is why i always back out whenever i think the staking platform is shady, not gonna lose my money to all these scammers.

I have a friend, fairly new, that is asking me to do DeFi liquidity mining. She mentioned I would need USDT to start DeFi mining and ETH to start the mining node. I have no knowledge of this field and want peer input. My questions are: - How do I confirm validity of the link in terms of DeFi liquidity mining?
- Is this a scam?
- Rephrasing from above, will I lose my cryptocurrency doing this?
- Any other helpful information is appreciated.
- She also mentioned with another site prior (not the one below) that she had returns of 1% to 3% returns per day. This seems unrealistic/too good to be true. Is this possible?
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 DeFi mining. 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 website she gave me is: -scam link- Is this the same female fren that gave you another link? I hardly believe you story because I read your posts and It's like you already knew these things but you are pretending to be a newbie.

I can only tell to to be aware of scams once it gets to someone giving you directions on what to go about your wallet especially when you're being directed due to your inability selfly run the operations yourself. Be mindful of wallet linking too because you can just expose your secret keys or even granting access of your wallet to someone without your notice.

I opened the links.lol, but I saw FTX and Chainlink, which don't even correlate with each other. So, I think this is a scam for real. Moreover, they don't have a website or any social media account or anywhere to contact support if you have any issue or complaint. So, it's better to stay away from something that will make you send your coin to their wallet, making it look like you're staking. Lol.

why the heck even FTX is mentioned by the project ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) it's indeed fishy. big red flag though, if what you mentioned is true is the absent of social media account or contact support, most of the project I know that decided to have no social media account or contact support usually are the shadiest ones. even the one that supposedly got good backer purposefully didn't leave out contact support or discord channel because they want to prevent people from actually knowing that there might be a problem. so in a nutshell they don't have such thing because they don't even bother with the project, therefore it's more likely scam. better avoid it.

at this point if you have so much doubt you better off not staking then.
staking is time constrained activity where you put your money at custody and risking it for contract breach or the dev just running away with the money, if you are doubtful in the first place, you won't have peace of mind keeping your money in this platform. at this point you better off trying to stake with reputable platform. like bybit and binance with their launchpool, or bitget with their poolx (do learn about how they work and the risk first just to be clear) like below picture is an example.
also, there are many ways these scammers can steal your money, connecting wallet and then approving your token to be used by them is also one way of them to steal your money, so always be careful. many newbies actually fall victim into this scheme, this is why i always back out whenever i think the staking platform is shady, not gonna lose my money to all these scammers.
It is this simple, besides the OP did not really told us from where they know this supposed friend, because if the only interactions they have had with this friend is online, it is entirely possible this is just a scammer that has taken a long term approach with them and they are trying to scam them. However even if this was not the case and the friend was just a misguided person, the point still stands, as this website looks immensely suspicious and I would not recommend anyone to stake their money there.

Yeah, I agree. As stated previously, all the links that would later be used to connect to your wallet or to connect your wallet to some dApp should be taken seriously and with analysis beforehand. Even if she is a good friend of his, she as well can't know everything and could be scammed but thinks that it would be beneficial for them both to stake on this platform, without taking the risks into account.

Thank you. Yeah. I'm going to use a reputable platform. No. I am in no way affiliated with them/I don't own this and I added the disclaimer warning to not use the link for Staking. This friend tells me to use it to stake and I don't want to lose my coins or compromise my phone on these websites. Thank you though for providing the WHOIS and I didn't even think about using this when looking at the links. 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.
I have a friend, fairly new, that is asking me to do DeFi liquidity mining. She mentioned I would need USDT to start DeFi mining and ETH to start the mining node. I have no knowledge of this field and want peer input. My questions are: - How do I confirm validity of the link in terms of DeFi liquidity mining?
- Is this a scam?
- Rephrasing from above, will I lose my cryptocurrency doing this?
- Any other helpful information is appreciated.
- She also mentioned with another site prior (not the one below) that she had returns of 1% to 3% returns per day. This seems unrealistic/too good to be true. Is this possible?
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 DeFi mining. 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 website she gave me is: -scam link- Is this the same female fren that gave you another link? I hardly believe you story because I read your posts and It's like you already knew these things but you are pretending to be a newbie. No, this is a different female friend I met on social media. We were talking about traveling and meeting up for over a month and then she asked me about liquidity staking pool. The previous female friend was from a dating app from my older post. Unfortunately, I am a crypto newb and that's why I'm asking for community feedback on these links and also include the disclaimer. If you read my posts, I also have a Hashflare and Cryptobridge topic up where I lost a decent amount to both. I have lost large sums to Safemoon and other rug pull altcoins. I am constantly exposed to scammers on dating apps so those I'm more cautious and aware of especially if they ask me to invest or click on links, but this was the first time from social media where I messaged her on Instagram first and she was wary of talking to me at first, but then we got to know each other's growing up history, family, life stories, exchanged younger photos of us with family and growing up, and were making plans to meet up to travel. I did reverse image search the photos to make sure there were no other accounts that had the photos in case she was taking it from their account. I had a sliver of hope that these links were actually legitimate so I wouldn't have to cut ties with them. I'm in no way trying to have people use these links. 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 can only tell to to be aware of scams once it gets to someone giving you directions on what to go about your wallet especially when you're being directed due to your inability selfly run the operations yourself. Be mindful of wallet linking too because you can just expose your secret keys or even granting access of your wallet to someone without your notice. Thank you for all the tips, especially on using WHOIS to check registration date is very helpful for future potential scam investigations. I'll also stick with Binance and Coinbase for more reputable staking platforms. I opened the links.lol, but I saw FTX and Chainlink, which don't even correlate with each other. So, I think this is a scam for real. Moreover, they don't have a website or any social media account or anywhere to contact support if you have any issue or complaint. So, it's better to stay away from something that will make you send your coin to their wallet, making it look like you're staking. Lol.

My first thought was it was a badly built website. I didn't even realize what you said about FTX and Chainlink. I panic closed the Trust Wallet down once I saw the request to connect. at this point if you have so much doubt you better off not staking then.

It was a woman from Instagram that I messaged and started getting to know on Instagram and we exchanged photos and videos of us when we were young with our family that were never posted up on social media and made plans to meet and travel together. I did reverse image search the photos to make sure there were no other accounts that had the photos in case she was taking it from their account. I am usually inundated with scammers on dating apps, but I had a sliver of hope that these links were actually legitimate so I wouldn't have to cut ties with them since this was not from a dating app and I messaged them first. The only thing that was slightly better than dating app scammers was that she did not guilt trip me with a common reply of "so you don't trust me?" and then proceed to get *angry*. She stated that she received these links from her friend but she will unstake her crypto from them and move her crypto to a new wallet, then speak with her friend [in person] regarding this.
