7. The shitcoin scammed. He/she bought lots of shitcoins on an obscure Pump and Dump group.

This type of scam is very common in the crypto space and most people do fall for this scam. I have fall into this like twice.
That's probably really painful for you and also for all the people who have been scammed with shitcoins in the Pump and Dump group. Luckily I've never been interested in more shitcoins in the Pump and Dump group because those in the group are always making promotions for no apparent reason so I'm not that interested and have even quit such groups in the past. Now, let alone being tempted by shitcoin in the Pump and Dump group, I'm no longer interested in getting close to Shitcoin.

Shitcoin can be sometime helpful. Just that it can make you become rich in a tinkle of an eye and can also make one become poor in seconds. I think one can still invest in it with care and with a little amount one can avoid to lose.

Especially now, there are lots of free airdrop events and lots of users are also participating because they assume it's free. To get it, you have to connect your wallet, for example using our metamasks to the website, they direct you to submit a claim with the potential for high risk because we don't know whether the website that is directed to the real website or fake website / scam. If the main wallet is used, yes, as you said above.

They got hacked because they connect their main wallet to those risky platforms that's why think about doing it and instead using your main wallet for that activity better create a new wallet so that when anything bad happen we can avoid to get compromised since we already do some precautionary measures from those scam airdrops which do that connecting wallet scam to their participants. To many ways to avoid that and always be vigilant on what we are trying to do since there's no reverse or dispute if we get hack.
