Know serial scammer on Discord.
In the ever-evolving world of digital technology, the frontier is not without its dangers. One such peril I recently encountered was a sophisticated Web 3 phishing scam. It's a tale of a momentary lapse in judgement, a costly mistake that led to an unfortunate loss. This is my story.
It began innocuously enough. My goal was to provide feedback for a project on Discord, a platform I had been away from for over a month. After posting a message in the “Report” section, I promptly received a “ticket”. I naively assumed this was a new feature, a product of the platform's evolution during my absence.
The plot thickened when the scammer requested me to visit a particular website. He claimed it was a necessary step to clear up an issue with Face ID. In retrospect, the absurdity of using a tool to resolve a Face ID issue with a wallet is glaringly clear, but in the moment, I simply didn't connect the dots.
As I navigated the website, I was asked for my seed phrase or private key, a request that set alarm bells ringing. It was an unusual request. However, my lack of complete understanding of the intricate workings of blockchain technology led me to believe that this individual, presumably a team member, was guiding me through a complex process.
Despite my intuition urging me to halt, I decided to forge ahead. I entered my seed phrase into the provided field. When it didn't work, I reached out to the scammer, who casually suggested the creation of a new ticket.
