According to Foresight News, phishing websites have been found to exploit the TON transfer message mechanism to trick users into receiving low-cost USDT. If users are using Tonkeeper, their wallet pop-up will display 'Received +5,000 USDT'. However, this is merely the comment mechanism of TON transfer, with the comment content being 'Received +5,000 USDT'. Users will not receive any USDT and will instead lose TON.
The scam, as monitored by Scam Sniffer, involves the use of the TON transfer message mechanism to deceive users. The users are led to believe that they have received a significant amount of USDT at a low cost. However, in reality, this is just a comment mechanism of the TON transfer, and the users do not receive any USDT.
This deceptive practice not only leaves users without the promised USDT but also results in a loss of TON. It is a clear exploitation of the TON transfer message mechanism, and users need to be aware of such scams to avoid falling victim to them.
