I have been hearing about people scamming one another, but most times I try not to fall victim to being scammed because if this happens, it will be very painful and sad because I work and labor so hard for the little I earn, and I have that at hand at the moment. Sometimes ago, @ifarmgirl shared a post about how she was scammed by a message she got from Open Sea, which happened not to be true. But before now, I have been receiving these messages, and I try as much as possible to unsubscribe from them, but I don't know how to get my email, and they still send me these messages.
This evening, while I was trying to connect my trust wallet account to my Open Sea account, I went to my trust wallet account and I went to Open Sea through the trust wallet browser, but since it's been a while I went there, I felt somehow disconnected from it, but in the long run, I was able to get the process that I was going to use to connect my wallet. After doing all these processes, I went back to my email to get a confirmation code so that I could finalize all the processes I was doing.
When I went to the email, I noticed that there were a series of messages that I never planned for, and so I went to check if the content of the message was very bad. When I opened the messages, I saw that somewhere invalid, and I saw your notification on my spam showing that I had about four messages that were yet to be read, so I opened it immediately to check what the message was about.
Opening the message, I saw about three messages from an unknown sender, which I could not verify, where we might have had something in common, and I opened the message. What I could see there was a congratulatory message telling me that I had been randomly selected for a NFT, which I know nothing about, and in the message they created a call-to-action button that I was supposed to click on and then go to their site to claim my NFT, as they have said.
Immediately I saw this, I felt deceived a bit because I knew I just did a connection of my trust wallet account with my open c account, so I was thinking it was a real message, not knowing it was from a scam account, so I checked the date on which the message was sent to me, and I noticed it was since 6 days ago and the other one 5 days ago. Then my brain had to reset back to normal.
Immediately, I said I was not going to click on the link so that I wouldn't be fooled and then cry later about being robbed. I strongly believe there should be a way to know curb the way this guy's gets access to our Gmail account because, for a man who doesn't know how this is run, they will end up falling for it, thinking they are doing the right thing. Until they get swindled by what they have, they will know they have done the wrong thing. Above all, I feel happy because I didn't have to learn the hard way before I did what was wrong. Don't get to learn lessons the hard way before you learn.
