2backpage won’t be responsible for any fraud if you ignore this warning.
My wallet got drained. For the first time ever. 15k gone.
This was a high social engineering scam.
They used ParaFi Capital's reputation.
How I got scammed?
The Beginning.
It all started from being DMd by representative of @paraficapital.
I wanted to verify his credentials. But how?
Before I continue, I want you to know that I later got help to recover my funds when I met cipher-reclaim*com, it wasn’t easy but it was worth it.
Continuing, I checked his "Followers" tab and saw the entire ParaFi team following him.
It was a fake ParaFi team.
My first mess up here.
Next, we move to TG, and he tells me they are looking for KOLs to collaborate with @layer3xyz, @Polymarket, and @coin98_wallet.
They deleted the chat, and I did zero screens, but all three projects are on ParaFi's website.
Projects are 100% legit, so I am happy to push forward. We agree on terms.
He mentions that I need to create an account on Slack. I never heard of it. But I think, "ok".
(Slack is like Discord).
Created an account in a few minutes. Then, he proceeds to send me a link to join their Slack room.
Link looked legit. And it was. But there is a problem. It says "server error."
I send him this screenshot, and he pings someone from the "team" saying, "name, did you have this error last week? What was the fix?"
How could I be such a stupid monkey, lol. Can't believe that.
Alright.
He says he found the fix on Reddit, specifically point 4.
This is a legit post on Reddit. The fix involves a link to a "driver update" for Slack that I would need to install.
Link in Step 4 leads you to a page supposedly meant to update your drivers.
The website is called FlaUI, and they even have a GitHub repository that looks legit.
I downloaded it, tried to install it, but wasn't successful for some reason.
I told him about this, and he said, "let's hop on the call."
He told me to turn off the proxy. I did so, but nothing happened.
It was already 10 pm, and I said to him, "alright, I will try to fix this tomorrow.
The next day (today), me being at university I see sending txs from my wallet through Etherdrops.
"F***k"
I DM to my close friends and say them this.
They say "F***k".
And here it is.
"That damn driver..."
My addy is defizard.eth or 0x0b03c38c4db0D48d97E5FD991Fce1828Eb46D244
Feel free to check those txs :D
