Yeah, it’s mind blowing, because I can’t remember buying any coin that will spike so high to give me such an amount. $66k is a lot of money, it can do a lot for me right especially investing some of it in Hive. I always wanted to invest $20k in Pob and $30k in Leo, then invest $5k in splinterlands. These are just things I wish I could do with my money when I ever get the chance to make up to that amount.

Whenever you trade or use Dapps, you are exposing your wallet address to the public and lots of things can happen when your wallet address is in the public. I use my trust wallet BSC wallet address to trade shitcoins. On trust wallet, you can only see the coins you activated to display on your coin wallet, but you can’t see all the coins attached to the wallet address. The only means to see all the coins attached to your bsc wallet address is to use https://poocoin.app/ .

When you put this address on your DEX browser and connect it to your wallet, you will be able to view every coin attached to your wallet, be there airdrop, anything at all. I farmed some coins on pancake swap and it didn’t show in my trust wallet app, but on Poocoin I saw it. All I need to do is activate the coin to be displayed on my wallet.

I haven’t accessed the poocoin for months because I was done with shitcoins. But yesterday out of curiosity I decided to check out the poocoin chart to know if my shitcoins were stupidly getting high in price because that’s what they do. Lo and behold, my wallet is estimated to be worth $66k. For a moment I thought I had entered a different wallet, but that’s not possible when you don’t have the keys. I was so excited, so I decided to be calm, I checked and found tokens called ARKR and Tu7 airdropped to my account.

Don’t get excited for me yet, it’s a scam phishing attack coin. I know of dust attacks, those attacks come in form of a dust, the value is so small, you won’t notice them. But this one didn’t come in form of a dust, so I decided to check and know what people were saying about it on Twitter.

Well this is pretty much all I needed to know, and honestly speaking I wasn’t planning on swapping or trying to collect the money if I didn’t get an explanation on where the money came from. The best thing to do with such an attack is don’t trade it, don’t try to spend it because the moment you try it, you are granting these hackers permission into your account and that’s how your account gets wiped. So stay careful and use the poocoin site to check for any suspicious token appearing in your BSC wallet address.
