DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"[S]o I was scammed for 16 solana yesterday and I want to warn you guys. Be careful with what you do and how you interact with websites and your wallet. I use the phantom wallet and I had all my solana in that wallet, I noticed a NFT in my collectibles which promised me a christmas NFT mint. This NFT led me to a scam website and I was dumb enough to connect my wallet to it and all my solana was scammed. I feel very stupid. I am just 20 years old and I don't even do much to earn money and I lost my investings now... it can all go down so quickly guys, just take care and never trust anyone or anything, keep everything to yourself and stay safe."

 

"Take care and do better"

 

"edit: was some kind of christmas scam nft in my wallet, I didnt know what it was and pressed on it and it led me to their webseite mintsolananft dot com, I had to connect my wallet and auto transaction thing was on I guess? I didnt approve a transaction for my solana to send to any other address it said to pay for gas fees nothing else, after that all was gone."

 

"That scam website is asking users to turn on auto-approve in the settings, probably some ppl get scammed like that without signing anything."

 

"That's not a bad price, actually. Now, for the rest of your life, not even your parents will have to worry that you might be taken advantage of. 16 SOLs in exchange for a lifetime devoid of naiveté... I'd be okay with that if I were you... (and I was you). The real cost of something like this happening, is when some people let it affect change their world, instead of just themselves. It takes most people til their 40s to feel that. Accept it, admit to it, and move on, confident in your new ability to take caution and be able to spot the other bullshitters that will come down the road. It's kinda like getting pushed in the face the first time... its embarrassing, sure... but the world is a little less scary after you you get fucked bad, and realize your still standing."

 

"Well when you put it like that, send me your address and ill send .5 SOL to do my part."
