crypto scam: seed shared publicly

[Berry2d]

I have heard about this before not untill I met one. And I must say this is real. I saw a post online about a guy who needed help to transfer his USDT from his wallet okx precisely to another wallet. he decided to offer me some percentage if I  could help him withdraw it, I agreed and he sent me his seed phrase and I imported it and behold I saw $123 Worth of USDT, as I was trying to send it to another wallet it requested $9 worth of Tron as gass fee I even tried to swap it all to Tron, it still required $7. I was nervous to send tron from another wallet to the Tron address of that okx wallet but after a while I remember that this could be a trap, I checked on Tron transaction I saw each instant deposit and instant withdrawal and it means that the trap is to spend money trying to withdraw the big one. And as many people who try to help or steal this USDT will end up sending gas fee to the scammer and they withdrawal instantly. So after checking this out I decided to bring it here for others to learn and stay clear from something like This, expecialy when it looks so good to be true. I did further research and I saw a warning about

crypto scam: seed shared publicly.

Below are the images of the wallet balance and the transaction that has taken place in the scammers wallet.

Crypto wallet balance



My attempt is swapping and sending to another wallet with the high fee




This is the deposit and withdrawal of the scammer which means any deposits of Tron here will be moved or diverted instant.

First of all try to resize your photos, they are too big.

This a big scam, they normally request for help on social media and they also posted their seed phrase so that a greedy person will import their wallet into his and when you see the money inside you will be tempted to take but you can't because you need to pay some fees so that you can be able to withdraw it, but unfortunately for you, even if you do pay the fees you can not still withdraw the money. They normally use OKX to do this type of scam. I have seen countless of this on social media, so anytime I come across it I normally give warning on the comments section so that anyone that's not aware of this kind of scam might see it and stsy away from it.

The way you just allow another man whine you for this crypto space, haha sha na say you just come make i no talk like say you be johny just come but u done dey the forum for some time now, this kind scam no suppose be wetin to catch you eh broda, your mind no go were him take get the coin wey him no come sabi withdraw or sell. Or why you for no ask am to do deposit of gass fee by himself, i just hope others go learn from this one.

My advice be say, leave promises online especially for crypto space na scammers full inside, if you no render any legit service make u no expect any pay or profit, all free things you dey see from online no dey pay at all instead you go turn the victim.

This scam has been reported here before. Scammers will always go about looking for their next potential victim. It's better for one not to see others as unwise in situation like this and be more watchful because all these are honey pot schemes. They lure victim and trap them, the reward is always tempting but never fall for such trap always be careful never be in any rush.

Its actually an old scam but come to think about it, For someone to fall for some kind of scams like this, i do believe it has alot with greed honestly, I understand that people can be generous but trust me a large percentage are only after what they can take from you. If he/she is able to achieve or pull out same scheme for 3 persons in a day then multiply by 1 month then baba will definitely be smiling to the bank.  Earning money is hard talk more of the crypto world, Seeing someone ready to do that kind of giveaway should be an automatic red flag.

Greed leads people to destruction. There are many wise people who have lost money due to greed. There are many such fraudsters on social media who are stealing money from people by showing various temptations. It is good to remember one thing that no one helps anyone by giving money for free. If someone does, then you should understand that there is a big conspiracy hidden in it. In the crypto world, a person who is greedy or hopes to get rich quickly, investing money without knowing anything about it, the possibility of losing all his money can increase many times. Therefore, before we do anything without being greedy, it will be much easier to protect ourselves from fraudsters if we work with awareness through research. Remember, sharing your wallet seed phrase with someone means that you will no longer have control over your own wallet. Through this, all the money in your wallet will go into the hands of fraudsters, so in no way can the wallet seed phrase be shared with anyone.
