Hi guys, I'd like to share my bad story as a warning to anyone new to bitcoin.  A few months back, I joined a group chat where people were discussing a "sniping bot" that could allegedly assist you buy new currencies before their prices up.  The community was pleasant and competent, and the bot was free to use, so I figured I had nothing to lose.  They wanted me to connect my cryptocurrency wallet to the bot so it could "analyze" my holdings and assist me with trading.

The moment I connected my wallet, my entire balance more than $200 that I had saved for so fast quickly gone.  There was no notice, no ability to reverse the purchase, and no one to contact for assistance.  The crooks vanished, and I lost my money permanently.

Sorry I felt humiliated and outraged, but I discovered that these scams are widespread.  Scammers promise easy rewards, encourage you to move quickly, and frequently impersonate experts or friends.

If you are asked to link your wallet, invest in a new coin, or pay a charge to release your cash, it is almost probably a scam.

I hope this help newbies.
