I think I made a huge mistake connecting my wallet to this trading platform. Someone in a crypto group recommended the site and said it was being used for automated trading profits, so I figured I would test it with a smaller amount first before trusting it fully.
The platform asked me to connect my wallet and approve a transaction to activate trading access.
Nothing looked unusual at the time. The website had charts, fake-looking profit screenshots, live trading activity — basically everything that made it feel legitimate. After approving the transaction, the page refreshed and I didn’t notice anything wrong immediately.
About twenty minutes later I checked my wallet again and almost everything inside was gone.
Not just the amount I planned to trade either. Multiple tokens had been transferred out to another wallet address I didn’t recognize. I never shared my seed phrase with anyone, which is why this completely shocked me. The only thing I did was connect the wallet and approve what I thought was a normal trading permission.
I searched online for “wallet drained after connecting to trading platform” and “crypto approval scam” and realized there are fake trading sites designed specifically to empty connected wallets through malicious smart contract permissions.
While trying to trace the outgoing transactions, I found discussions mentioning Jim Recovery Team in conversations about drained wallets and unauthorized token transfers. I reached out mainly because I wanted help understanding whether the receiving wallet addresses were already connected to known scam activity.
Posting this because if a trading platform asks for wallet approvals before you can even access features, be careful. I thought I was just enabling trading access and ended up watching my wallet balance disappear instead.
