[QUOTE="Mikeyd03, post: 1576290, member: 14085"] I hate hearing stories like this. As much as i love crypto and believe in its future.....it truly attracts some of the worst actors. Some other precautions to take: -Token approvals can be dangerous at times with metamask (be very careful which websites you grant approval to). -NEVER give away your private seed phrase.....UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE. -As sgt has shown us always verify twitter accounts (twitter is full of fake accounts trying to scam you) -Best to avoid searching w/ key word: metamask when seeking guidance. -USE A HARDWARE WALLET: if you are keeping a large proportion of your crypto on an exchange/metamask you are asking to get rekt. I use a wallet called Bitfi.....ledger nano is fairly easy to use (however I do not trust them as they have shown risk with customer data).....still your assets will be safe as long as you don't give out your seed phrase. (ALSO do not buy a hardware wallet from a 3rd party seller.......buy directly from the source) Sgt....don't beat yourself up man.....like you said your mental state was not up to speed. Just learn from it and stay in the game. There are countless opportunities in the space to make it all back and some. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
