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.

It's sad you got scammed of your $200 while trying to connect your crypto wallet to an unknown bot or an app. Because in scenarios like this, the best type of wallet you ought to have used is an empty and brand new crypto wallet, and not a wallet where you still holds your crypto assets. And the truth of the fact is that these scammers are stopping anytime soon, because knowing fully well how there are a lot of people out there looking for ways to assist them spot new cryptocurrency before their prices up. These people will capitalize on this, scamming more and more people, until people are aware that there are no such thing as a bot to help you spot coins that might skyrocket in value.
