It is really sad to read this, and I can imagine how painful it must feel to lose your funds this way. You were just excited to be part of a project’s private testnet, but a scammer took advantage of that excitement. The fact that the scammer used the official channel’s bot to send the fake link makes it even more suspicious. It looked like someone on the inside might be involved.
I hope you recover soon and get stronger from this.
Honestly it begins to feel like an inside job because the scammers took hold of the discord channel that was supposed to be well protected, I mean. It was quite painful and disappointing for me. To think I've been very careful and never clicked any malicious link before, it's so saddening.
It is well. I hope it didn't cost you fortune.
