To everyone in the GHS Collective community or anyone who has a Waves wallet or any crypto wallet. I was seeing transfers into my wallet from RZ Coin, RN Coin and several other things I did not recognize. I was curious and looked them up and they were telling me I would get some BTC and some ETH and some Waves Coins if I checked out their website and they wanted my seeds for my account. If you do not recognize them leave them alone.
This should have been a red flag but it all looked like it was all above board. So I went and did it and watched my account for a while and nothing happened. I decided to pop on and check it again and as the wallet popped up they were pulling coins from my account right then. So I went and got a new account real quick and started transferring what was left, which was not much, as fast as I could to the new account.
I am writing this post to let you all know not to trust this or anything else that asks for your seed words on your wallets. I feel the fool because I knew better and still did it. It is a mistake I will never make again. So just be warned about these accounts as they are a scam and will empty your wallet over a period of time. I did not have a lot in the wallet so I saw it right away.
Just wanted everyone with a Waves wallet or any crypto wallet to know about this and tell you my mistake and hope you do not make the same mistake I did. Hope everyone has a great night/day, whatever it is in your neck of the woods. Always Forward!

That sucks that this happened. You should have listened to your gut. Those seed words are essentialy the masterkeys to your wallet. Hopefully you take this lesson and apply it across all your crypto dealings. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Sometimes I just think it will be fine! Not! It is all good. Lesson learned for sure!
