**Small Mistake, Big Loss: Tragic Story of Crypto Owner**

- A cryptocurrency holder just lost over $3 million in PYTH tokens after mistakenly transferring them to a scammer’s wallet. 😅

- The incident happened when the victim, relying on his transaction history, copied and used a fake deposit address created by the scammer.

- The clever scammer created an address whose first four characters were exactly the same as the victim’s wallet, then sent 0.000001 SOL to make the fake address appear in the victim’s transaction history.

- Without checking carefully, the victim copied the fake address and sent 7 million PYTH tokens worth around $3.08 million to the scammer.

- Security experts call this attack “address poisoning,” taking advantage of crypto users’ habit of copying addresses from their transaction history.
