🚨🚨🚨🚨 Scam Alert:🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
👉A devastating scam led to a loss of 1,155 Bitcoin, valued at $68 million, when a user accidentally copied a fraudulent wallet address 😢.
👉Here’s how it happened:
The scammer created a wallet address almost identical to the victim’s and sent small transactions to it. This tricked the victim into thinking it was their own address. When the victim later copied the address, they didn't notice the subtle differences and sent their Bitcoin to the scammer.
⚠️ Pro Tip:
Always perform a test transfer when sending large amounts. Send a very small amount first and meticulously verify the entire address, character by character.
👉Interestingly, the scammer converted the stolen 1,155 Bitcoin into 22,960 Ethereum and returned it to the victim 😂. Perhaps this was their way of suggesting Ethereum is superior to Bitcoin?
👉Stay vigilant and double-check all details in your transactions to avoid such costly mistakes.🕵️♂️
