A new scam has emerged, where crypto scammers are targeting other thieves, according to a security update by Kaspersky. The scam involves creating a trap for wannabe thieves, using a multi-signature wallet and a seed phrase.
How the Scam Works馃捀馃捀
1. Scammers create a comment on YouTube or other platforms, posing as a crypto novice, asking how to transfer funds from a wallet.
2. The wallet contains a significant amount of stablecoins (over $8,000 in this case).
3. Thieves attempt to steal the funds by sending TRX tokens to the wallet.
4. However, the wallet is set up as a multi-signature wallet, requiring approval from two or more people to authorize outgoing transactions.
5. The sent tokens are transferred to another wallet controlled by the scammers.
The Scammers' Motive鈦夛笍鈦夛笍
Kaspersky notes that the scammers are targeting other crooked individuals, making them "digital Robin Hoods." The scheme is likely targeting wannabe thieves rather than being a complex operation seeking to steal large amounts of money.
