My entire year's savings—just gone. That's what hit me after my wallet got drained. I went through the lowest point mentally, but somehow I kept pushing forward and staked $FOLKS to try recovering.



Looking back, it's wild that even when I was still learning Web3 basics, I never thought I'd fall into a trap like this one. This was supposed to be different.

It all started earlier this year when I joined an airdrop campaign. Seemed straightforward enough—participate, earn some tokens, maybe flip them. I followed all the steps, connected my wallet, confirmed everything. Weeks went by. Then boom—one day my balance hit zero.

The whole thing unfolded so fast I didn't even realize what happened until it was too late. That's the part that stings most. Not just losing the money, but not seeing it coming.

Sorry, I feel like I've seen this before. The airdrop scam is really clever, they even stole the wallet.

Oh no, this is a classic phishing airdrop, and someone always falls for it...

The consultation record shows that this is a typical airdrop phishing symptom... Confirmed directly without even auditing the wallet authorization? That's the most severe clinical manifestation.

Damn, airdrops are really a trap... I can't believe people are even willing to connect their wallets, I'm truly speechless.
