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 your loss and it believe is a lesson well learnt. However, why it was not entirely your fault because in my observations there is an existence of such bot and while you were not able able to differentiate the food and the fake one they took you unaware, honestly the high rate of scamming is becoming alarming that everyone should increase their sense of security and always be watchful be scamming will never end so far life exists, one thing is to own an asset and the other thing is security, I feel your pains but you don't have take for too long there is much that you can achieve rather than dwelling on your past mistakes which of course will be an eye opener.
