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.

Sorry for your loss, this method can be confusing enough for anyone to believe because there are bots that works this way and they are not scam but I personally don't like connecting my wallet to anything, if the bot can do it by itself I can do it too because I am human and we created those bots.
A friend sent me a bot with full information that's similar to your story too, he is someone I trusted but since doing this isn't my way I pretend as if I've used the bot, things started looking suspiciously when he started asking if I've used the bot at all, I had to tell him that I don't need it anymore since I found another.
I lied to safe myself because the idea don't sit well with me, it's something I hate to do, next time try to use a separate wallet for such testing, make sure the wallet have small usdt that won't be painful if you lose it instead of connecting your main wallet.
