My wallet just got drained. 😭😭
I was only trying to help.

Last night, I was in a Twitter Space where many were crying about X account suspensions. I thought to myself: Why not introduce them to @farcaster ? A decentralized protocol with no fear of losing accounts or censorship? @jessepollak @sir-damilare

A sufficiently decentralized social network. farcaster.xyz

@kokocodes  tried to help but even after following his steps and sending him a screen recording, it still didn’t work. 

While trying to get warps to send them invites, a fake support account (using @farcaster_xyf, not @farcaster ) DMed me. Same pfp. Same name. Just one letter off.
@dwr.eth @v

They told me I had a “30% airdrop” and asked me to “synchronize” my wallet via a link. I trusted them… clicked the link and followed the process. 
Immediately, funds started leaving my wallet. That’s when it hit me I was being scammed.

It hurts more because I was comforting a friend in that same Space who just got scammed of $37. I even promised to help her out with $10. Now, I got hit too.

I’ve been trying hard to secure my new X account after losing my old one and now this. 🥹🥲

Here’s what I want you to take from this:
	•	Always verify handles. Don’t be fooled by profile pictures or display names.
  • Never click on any link sent to you without verifying the authenticity of the website.
	•	Never input your seed phrase. No one legitimate will ever ask for it.

•	Take a breath before acting in urgency. Scammers thrive on emotions and urgency.
	•	Even helpers can get hurt. Be kind. Be alert.

If you come across fake “support accounts” impersonating protocols like Farcaster, please report them.

And if you’re reading this and can support me in any way whether financially, or by sharing this post to warn others, or by simply checking in I’ll deeply appreciate it.

Let’s keep the space safer together.

Since Farcaster requires warps (which you pay for) to generate invite codes, I wanted to get some quickly and share them with my friends before the Space ended.

I reached out in DMs:
	•	My mama @iamcharis , @gkash @kokocodes 

But none were online or had a clear solution.
