In-Depth Analysis of Cryptocurrency Traps: Unveiling Wallet Authorization Scams

Recently, a cryptocurrency scam incident shocked many investors: a user unexpectedly lost assets worth up to 500,000 RMB in their wallet while attempting to transfer one USDT. This is not an isolated case, but rather reveals a prevalent scam pattern. Next, we will use this real case to deeply analyze how scammers meticulously plan and gradually lure victims into traps.

Start of the Scam: High-Price Temptation Strategy

The starting point of the scam is often the high-price USDT acquisition information published by scammers, who promise to buy at an exchange rate higher than the market price (for example, 1 USDT for 9.4 RMB). Such a high-price strategy is undoubtedly a huge temptation for investors eager to cash out.

Trap Upgrade: Inducing Use of “Safe” Wallets

Subsequently, scammers will recommend a seemingly safe yet actually risky Web3 wallet to the victims. They claim that this wallet does not require a private key and is safer and more convenient than exchanges. However, this is a setup for the scam.

Gradual Induction: Implementing Control in the Name of Testing

To gain the victim's trust, scammers will first transfer some TRX to the victim's wallet as gas fees and encourage them to conduct a small USDT transfer test. This step aims to verify the wallet's usability and lay the foundation for subsequent operations. Once the transfer is successful, scammers will continue to induce the victim to perform more operations until they completely control the wallet.

Core Means: Malicious Authorization Link

The scammers' ultimate tactic involves a seemingly harmless QR code link. When the victim scans this QR code, they will be directed to a highly realistic webpage. This webpage hides malicious code designed to obtain wallet authorization. Once the victim clicks to confirm authorization, the control of their wallet silently transfers to the scammers. Thereafter, scammers can easily transfer all assets from the wallet.
