I lost a ‘life changing amount’ after clicking an ad on Google – don’t fall for the same trick

"Less importantly, I lost a life changing amount of my net worth.

"My Twitter, Substack, Gmail, Discord, and wallets were all invaded and taken over by bad actors.";

The crypto investor was looking for OBS, a piece of video streaming software.

He claims to have clicked on the sponsored link shown on Google and downloaded what he thought was the app.

When trying to install it, nothing happened, so he gave up.

Then a few hours later he started receiving concerned messages on Twitter as his account had been hacked.

It turns out the app was malware.

"I quickly delete the scam tweets the hackers posted. Caught it 2 minutes after the links went live," he continued.

"Phew. If only that were the last chapter of this story.

"Unfortunately it was just the first."

Shortly after he found out his valuable crypto and NFTs had been transferred to another wallet.
