STEP 1: I posted a message in this telegram group asking for help staking my SHIB and this was the start of my scary journey!

STEP 2: I received a direct/private message from Shibaswap Guardian (@shibaswapg) sending me this link https://appwalletsync.net to recover my SHIB token and gas fees lost during the staking process.

STEP 3: I didn’t realized that this is a scam so I clicked on the link but then stoped myself from continuing with the process. I finally decided to block this user. 

STEP 4: I thought I was safe but my scary journey is to be continued on Part-2. Stay tuned!
