A scammer being outshined by another scammers

[AVE5]

Okay the image below details chats with a friend of mine who felt victim to a scam While he intended to outshine a scammers on disguise of not being knowledgeable enough with his wallet containing $420.
So the owner of the wallet got his wallet seed phrase exposed to a platform as he seeks for guide about his wallet. So that of my friend took a fast finger by login in to the wallet using the seed phrase to gain access to the wallet where he was mind-blowing and hope to steal the $420 in the wallet but was requested send atleast $7 to move the fund. Maybe that was for a gas fee which I don't know.
So he sent $7 to the wallet and just in seconds the $7 was moved to another wallet.
Then my guy find out it's a multisig wallet that you'll pass through processes before possibly withdrawal the so attractive $420.
This my guy checked on the wallets transaction history and found the owner of the wallet is a scammer and has been using that method to scam people as he learnt hundreds of transaction as he was victimized was processed in there.

                  The chat is revealed below.           
                             
Well. I brought this thread up to the board due to our Nigeria slang that "Guy man no dey guy guy man". So obviously there "Guy man don guy guy man"

Did we also learnt something about this story? I think it's karma that struck this my guy. Who knows how many vulnerables he has dubious while trying to help them with their crypto wallets.
This should also serve as lesson not to trust anyone with your wallet seed phrase because even your relatives can betray you.

he has not seen the real fraud na. when it hits him real hard and he gets scammed something big, he will understand the kind of things the people he has been scamming do go through while he always does away with peoples crypto.

this tactic is so basic, and the target is not for someone that doesn't have the tendency of stealing from the owner of the wallet, it is a trap that will only catch those that are looking for people to defraud or for others that are looking for cheap money and once they see the seed phrase will be willing to send the $7 asap. do you know the numbers of persons that will fall for this? they will just assume that he is a newbie who doesnt understand the implication of exposing his seed phrase to the public which will cause him to get from $7 from multple source. call it fraud or street, its a dirty game that you cant even trust all the people you are dealing with. nothing beats being clean and not being greddy with the little thing you are earning legitimately.

If you're greedy and too eager to make money, you will possibly be running after any chances of making it faster and one of the things you will be so attracted to is an quick opportunity to making it, as such, you will see that a user opens up his seed phrase and you're asked to make a deposit before having access to claim the fun, can you imagine that, it's insane for any reasonable user to believe in this, but if you think you're smart and wise, and will want to make an opportunity from it, then you may have to risk yourself with that same greediness by falling into the hands of scammers and got scammed instead of you scamming them.

[Kelward]

Dis one na real irony, scammer set trap to catch scammers and scammers de fall for di trap, guy man de guy another guy man. Di person wey dem scam through dis way no need to vex too much because na di same thing wey im wan to do person na im come backfire, im come become di victim. Dis na next level of scamming, e show say scammers don de innovative, no be only to scam ignorant people to steal dem money, now na to de target fellow guy men to de outsmart dem.

Generally na greedy people de fall for scams pass because dem de find easy money, and if dem see anywhere wey opportunity de to get fast money, dem no go remember to exercise caution before dem rush put money inside. E de important to understand anything wey you want to put your money inside so you go fit to notice red flags if na scam, if you no understand, ask questions from genuine sources or forget about am no matter how tempting e de.

Scammer scammed scammer  this kinda funny ,  because your friend was up to something bad but at the end e endup been the victim, I know say life tough and stuff, but make we try find the money legitly hard work still pays till now there's no shortcut to wealth , it takes time to build something good, because been victim of such is really painful imagine losing money you plan to use for something good , like money wey you suffer for person go just come take am .

[nelson4lov]

This is a strategy that has been known for years. Your friend simply fell victim because he was greedy. $7 to gain $400+ without gambling / trading / investing? That's greed. From the moment someone sends their seed phrase(s), all red flag sensors should have gone off. Not to mention that he only checked transaction history only after confirming that the TRX he sent has been moved.

He could have avoided parting ways with his $7 if he simply followed the rule that states that anything that sounds too good to be true is probably not true.

I'm in no way supporting the scamming attempt btw.

This is not only about betrayal from other people but also about greediness from the other party (your friend). Moreover, both of them are scammers, and they have various ways to scam each other, so the story is funny to me because if your friend doesn’t attempt stealing from the other person, he will not have lost his $7. This is just karma that affects them, and it is something that your friend needs to know: what he is doing is not good. If not, why do you think it will be favourable for you to steal from someone who has worked for his own money? Did you know how hard it is for him to have that? Which he even has the mind to pay for the gas fees.
 
If we are to be sincere, your friend is the real scammer here because he attempted to steal $420, and in the process, he lost $7, so who is the real scammer? Is obviously your friend because, as you said, only God knows the number of his victims.

[Smartvirus]

E no get any justification for scam, even if na scammer scamming another scammer. We fit say it serves him right o and e no sound that bad given say, na watin en Dey do people but still, na crime way them Dey commit.

Lesson way Dey hear be say, why you go get the idea say you wan withdraw person coin way no be your own before?
The person way Dey meet you with this proposal, en no greedy enough or get family people and friends way e fit approach and better their living…
Why e be say, na my own $7 go enable withdrawal, na as gas fee abi watin? The other person no get $7 to use facilitate the matter ?

Ask yourself questions, answer theses questions and stay safe from scam schemes, e don cast.

Omo
A lot Dey happen for this country and the internet space and one funny thing be say, these scammers no get any single plan to stop anytime sooon not even now and the truth be say, these scammers Dey very updated and them Dey really evolve with the world and as such, we need to Dey on our guide make we no go fall victim for all these things.

Over the time, one thing I’ve got to noticed is the fact that, most times, a lot of people that fall victim of scam are very greedy people who want abnormal price and profits or possibly earn from where they didn’t sow.
There is nothing like free money, and the moment you’re conscious of the fact that, there is no free money, I think you’re already a step ahead of these scammers.

[Odusko]

This thing the happen normally and the majority of those that fall victim to this scamming system are those that have low or no know about wallets and security, this is because giving out your wallet information to a third party for whatever reason is like shooting yourself on the foot this is because by so doing you have authorized the scammer to have access to the wallet and being also requested to send a $7 gas fees is another signal to know that the scammer have many methods of scamming his victim, but for me then I also thing that the scammer requested for the $7 when he discovered that he can not make transfersm from the total balance on the wallet because the wallet is a multi sign wallet which requires other co signer to operate the wallet.

So he knows he already lost out in withdrawing the main targets which was your house rent.

Scammer scammed scammer  this kinda funny ,  because your friend was up to something bad but at the end e endup been the victim,

True true it's funny, but according to the story, e show say that scammer wey Dem achieve him $7 dollar na really learner, this pattern of scamming na old strategy wey don dy since, no be today something, those scammers don transfer that money automatic already, na just lack of fees dy hold that money for that wallet, so immediately that $7 dollar arrive, the money moves out on his own automatic.
But e just dy funny say a  scammer which is still a learner got scammed by a more informed scammers.
And to be honest here, I feel no pity for him, because he actually got what he deserves, for lack of knowledge and for being criminally minded.
Now na for him to decide if him go continue him scamming career or to stop am completely, because this story just dy funny I swr.

[Gooner0]

This quite funny , and people are so smart coming up with ideas like this.
The fact he got scammed out of his own Greed, he really has no one to blame for it.
And this should be a lesson to us all , this are the kind of things Greed can put us to.

I'm just wondering if the other guy who made his seed phrase exposed to that junk public site was being honest as a case that he doesn't know how to go about his wallet as claimed, that was jus how this my friend would had  stolen the innocent holders bitcoin and pretends like he knows nothing about it.
I'm even left to believe lot of the members in that platform had fallen victim to this scammer in disguise (wallet owner) because I'm sure they would have also strike on same move as that of my friend. And he who made himself felt vulnerable to them has outshined them all with his tricks.
I'll call that a jungle of the fittest and it's always good of the wickeds burying themselves just as who ever thought of stealing that guys bitcoin at the course of help gets stocked to be the real victim. Karma is sure real.

He was lucky to have only lost $7. If things had gone differently, his entire account could have been cleaned out. This is a warning tale about the dangers of trying to steal from others. When you succeed in taking from those who aren't as knowledgeable, you might feel like you've gotten away with something. But eventually, you'll meet someone who's even more cunning, and they'll take from you.

As coin holders, we should avoid such acts and strive to make our own money legally. We should protect our accounts and avoid thinking about taking from others. People work hard to earn their money and keep their coins safe. The best thing we can do is to help others by sharing knowledge and expertise, not by stealing from them.

If you need help, you can ask someone to teach you how to invest better, save your coins, or make more money. Stealing from others doesn't make sense, and it's not supposed to be normal. While it's true that many people steal and scam, that doesn't make it right.

[BIT-BENDER]

This is amongst the oldest trick in the book used by scammers, if your friend fell for this maybe he should go.back and do some reading on crypto-currency. In between your friend did not want to scam but rather your friend was very greedy and he lost all his sense of reasoning to the greed which is very strange to me.
How would anyone be so lose with their wallet and you on the other hand wanted what wasn't your so bad you are prepared to send funds to get it.
I think you should advice your friend to drop his greed or else this would just me one out of many funds he would be losing regardless of the amount he lost it still a silly way to get scammed.

[MainIbem]

There are things scammers use to get their victims the which are ignorance and greed but from the OP's story the scammer had to act ignorant to be able to achieve the other, he acted like he had issues with his wallet and purposely released his seed phrase to his victims to feed on their greed, in some cases you'll more than $10k that could immediately attract you to steal it if you're selfish and greedy like the OP's friend and by then you've been ignorant of the scam process and would foolishy pay even up to $10 or more out of greed just withdraw the money from the wallet and once you've pay up, you've become a scam victim, while trying to be greedy, scammers are always 2 steps ahead so to avoid being victims one ought to be two steps ahead of them, you ought to have general knowledge about certain things so they won't feed on your ignorance and avoid being greedy as well. Avoid ponzi related crypto projects that would ask you to pay or invest certain amount to get back double or more after a while cause they're too good to be true.

[Adbitco]

I have seen similar incident on the forum were they would have to post wallet address keys to move out funds wey dey inside and immediately you send them swipe am for you. Although me never engaged in such silly games because I never for one day wan take wetin no be my own, and this one na big trap be that and immediately you put money na so them go wipe am out quickly for you because na multiple sig wallets be that.

[Cryptoprincess101]

What i have learnt in this story is just nothing but greed, selfishness and a criminal behavior because let's assume it in the other way round, if the scammer had a good intention and needed help then your friend now became smart and emptied the acclaimed scammers USDT in his wallet, isn't that a wicked and dubious thing to do?. Then again, that your friend is selfish and greedy if not he would have related it to someone who also have a crypto knowledge and make some enquiry because since it involved sending TRX to the scammers address should have given him a sense of belonging that it was a scam. But that not withstanding, it is good they scammed him so that he will learn the hard way not to be greedy and never try to get what is not yours through a dubious means.

[SmartCharpa]

Haha, things dey really happen oo, the matter just dey funny I swear. This is what we call, scammer don scammed scammer , imagine say you try rip someone and dem end up ripping you. Honestly, some people no go ever make am for this life, I don't why some people just wants dey chop from their fellow guy man, this scam of a thing no be for each other head dem be dey do am before but as things don begin dey red for them, or I should say that cl don hard for them to catch, na people wey dey close to them those scammer want to dey scam now.

I believe that will serve as your a lesson to the person, he would feel what other people wey him dey scammed dey feel, whether it feels good to get scammed or not. It just $7 that is 11k naira, well he would not feel any pain for that, he should be grateful say he no lost more than that. Maybe the person knows what your friend can do, that's why he set him up and he fell for it.

[Pressurizedem]

This is Kama working here,that a scammer scamed another scammer.Lol,it seems funny,but e dey happen.We all know how things be now,and most of the youths wey we dey see on the street don prioritize the business of scamming as something dem no fit do without,so thesame way wey you as a scammer they scam people,another person they look for ways to use scam you too.
Na Kama wey dey work here.so when a scammer is scammed,I don't think they will even cry, because that's what they do other people.
