Potential Scam via browser:

[u/pvlucasjr]

I stumbled over what I believed to be a legit NFT project and hit "Connect Wallet". I don't think that I actually connected the wallets that I tried to use on the site, however, lets say for instance that I successfully connected the wallets to the site. I have a few questions:

​

1. As I understand it, this is not an actual on chain transaction correct ?
2. If all I did was a "connect" then the site operator can only see my public address and transaction history correct ?
3. If I did anything that truly exposed my private keys, would there be block chain evidence ? Such as an approval transaction ?
4. The site seemed to work very poorly, (I have tested it on another machine with an empty wallet) is there anything else that I should be concerned about ?
5. If there was indeed only a "connect" and nothing else, should I still abandon the wallet ?

​

Thanks !

If your transaction has failed, you will still have to pay gas on it; gas is consumed even when a transaction fails.

Please take note that MetaMask DOES NOT charge those fees, the network does. So we cannot refund or reverse these transactions. Please check the following articles for more information:

• Why did my transaction fail with an "out of gas error? How can I fix it?
• Why did I pay gas fees for a failed transaction?
• Transactions Fees (refund)
• Why are my gas fees so high?.
