PANews December 30 news, according to CoinDesk, last week, security company Kaspersky revealed a new scam method that has spread widely on YouTube, even the cunning scammers praised its cleverness. Kaspersky noticed a comment on how to transfer USDT, which came from a Tron blockchain wallet holding stable coins worth over $8,000. However, this did not come from a cryptocurrency novice, but rather a carefully designed trap.
The stable coins are stored in a multi-signature wallet, and a fee must be paid when withdrawing. When the scammers attempted to steal funds by sending TRX tokens, the tokens mysteriously disappeared, being transferred to another wallet controlled by the scammers. It turns out that the bait wallet was set up as a multi-signature wallet, requiring multiple approvals to carry out transactions, so USDT could not be directly transferred to a personal wallet. Kaspersky pointed out that the scammers disguised themselves as novices, sharing wallet access to deceive similarly naive thieves, who ultimately became victims. This type of scam is not an isolated incident on the internet, with multiple new accounts posting the same comments and mentioning the same mnemonic phrases.
Due to the low transaction fees on the blockchain, often less than $10, such scams may primarily be designed for those attempting to gain benefits through improper means, rather than for complex criminal activities aimed at stealing large sums of money.
