LIVENew Crypto Scam Uncovered!
This fraud leverages a deceptive modification of Ethereum node Remote Procedure Calls (RPC).
The crypto scam operates by first gaining the trust of unsuspecting users. The fraudster persuades the target to download the legitimate imToken wallet, then sends 1 USDT and a small amount of ETH as bait.
The trap is set when the scammer convinces the user to switch their ETH RPC URL to a node controlled by the scammer. This manipulated node displays a falsified USDT balance, misleading the user into believing they have received substantial funds.
Unaware of the deceit, the user, upon attempting to transfer out miner’s fees to cash out the USDT, discovers the scam only after the funds fail to materialize, and the scammer has vanished.
