Recently I had a balance stuck on a network and it couldn't bridge. I posted a message on the network's telegram channel and was contacted by a council member who offered help. This time strangely I didn't suspect the person may be a scammer...I had been vigilant about people who DM me and offered help on social media for years.
Long story short, the scammer said that my wallet didn't sync and that the tech support was on it and meanwhile my only solution is to sync my wallet using wappbridge-sync dot live. I checked the website and github and found that it is open source and thought it it is legit. It asks my PV or recovery phrase to connect my wallet. This raised suspicion but part of me thought that maybe in order for the wallet to sync, I really need to grant permission for "database backend" the scammer said. I now feel I was under-spelled! So I used an empty wallet to test it out. The scam site couldn't even validate (meaning syncing) and gave me an error! The scammer said because I didn't have enough liquidity in my wallet. I asked what liquidity is. The scammer said I need to add tokens into my wallet. It then became clear to me that this may be a scam but I didn't pursue to find out more as by then the scammer gave up. Only this morning when I visited my telegram account and saw that the person's account I thought legit has changed their name to MuesliSwap DEX Cardano.
I didn't lose anything...it makes me think that this is not a one person operation but a more organized crime.
Please help spread the warning and if you guys know how to have the site taken down by law enforcement please help do that!
