I almost lost everything — don’t make the same mistake.



Last month, I opened my wallet expecting a $USDT payment…


Instead, I saw THIS:


⚠️ “Pay a 20% activation fee to unlock your funds.”



The balance was visible. The message looked legit.


But here’s the truth: IT WAS 100% FAKE. 😨





🤯 THE SCAM?


I was unknowingly connected to a fraudulent custom RPC node — created to show fake funds and bait users into sending real money to “unlock” them.





🚫 Don’t Fall for It — Here’s How to STAY SAFE:



1️⃣ NEVER use custom nodes from random sources


→ If someone DMs you saying “just add this RPC”, BLOCK them.



2️⃣ Double-check balances on BscScan / Etherscan


→ If funds show in your wallet but NOT on-chain —


💥 You’re being scammed.



3️⃣ “Activation fees” = 🚩BIG SCAM


→ Real crypto wallets don’t charge fees to show your funds.





🛡️ My New Safety Stack:


✅ Only default RPCs (MetaMask, TokenPocket, TrustWallet)


✅ Verify everything on-chain


✅ Never ever pay to “unlock” anything





📢 Scammers are evolving.


They’re not just phishing — they’re building fake universes inside your wallet.


💡 Don’t be the next victim.
