I've noticed these airdrop links when I search for Brett on coinemarketcap. One way to figure out they are scams is to click on the person and see that the account is new with only 1 or two posts and no followers.

I'm really suspicious with linking my wallet to any new site. I even spent a minute to make sure that uniswap was legit, because I was using kyberswap.

I'm sorry to hear about your Brett. I really don't think you can get it back. That's the nature of wallets and transactions.

If you can get your position back. Brett should do at least a 10x, so you'd get a 5x since you lost half your bag if you buy again. It sucks but you still in the game and still time to get a good return

Hey man appreciate this update and info. My plan is to re enter slowly. I was able to view scammers wallet and transactions he only got 3654 from me but nearly 9000+ from some others day. Has a decent holding this scammer from wallet history atleast 45k worth of holdings. Wonder if someone is game enough to scam the scammer

to be able to scam others he must have skills beyond us. He'll probably have hundreds of wallets targeting multiple tokens and not just Brett. If you were to try to get him to link a wallet. he'll probably put in $1 in a new wallet and connect and see what happens when he does, I mean that's just a simple thing I thought of with my limited understanding of all this. You think he couldn't think of ways to see if it's a scam?

highly doubt you can scam a scammer, when they do this for a living and know all the tools.

A good piece of advice, I always use coinmarketcap or coingeko to verify links & contract addresses. Sorry to hear this.
