As soon as you authorise the token it will probably drain your wallet.

I authorized the transaction, the gas was 1.5$. That's all that i lost. It says it's a high risk adress in trust wallet. Is there any chance this is real? How does this happen?

It's a scam, they airdrop you tokens that have value but as soon as you approve the contract to trade them you probably give them permission to drain your other tokens. I suggest you remove permissions from the contract immediately.

>>55172690
Also you likely can't sell the tokens either, they use the excitement people feel when they see a big number to get them to approve a malicious contract without thinking.

you wont be able to sell the tokens.
but send them to a new wallet and try, whats the worst that can happen

Can they really do something like that? Aren't you just approving "spend this token" in pancakeswap? I know these tokens are scams and I never approved anything, but you're probably scaring the newfag for nothing.

If the contract has stuff in it that allows other people to spend your tokens and you approve it, they will have exactly as much access to your wallet as you agreed to give them. Can you code? If you can't, and haven't read the contract code yourself, you can't be sure what it does. I can't code at all for the record, but there can be lots more in a bit of code than people realise. Why would someone airdrop you tokens worth 5 figures? If something is too good to be true, it probably is.

That's not possible. If it were, every shitcoin scammer would do this instead of rugging.

You'd be surprised what scammers get up to.

That's a link to a scam site. That's not the same as approving a token.

I can't figure out how to send tokens to an adress. Of course it's a scam, but is there no way to outscam the scammer?
>>55172791
... i'll try something like this someday
