Hello, crypto enthusiasts! 🚀 Today we will analyze a cunning scheme that has deceived many already. It seems that a USDT balance (and sometimes even more) lures with its simplicity — just take it, withdraw it, and live large! But it's not that simple. Scammers have learned to lure people into a mousetrap by leaving bait in wallets that cannot be taken without certain actions. I will explain how it works and how not to become a victim. 😎
Scheme #1: Access to Trust Wallet with a USDT balance, but without TRX for the fee 😱
You are given a Trust Wallet with, for example, 1000 USDT on the TRC 20 network. The problem is that you lack TRX for the withdrawal fee. You buy some TRX and transfer it to this wallet to pay for the transaction... And at this moment, the cunning scammer uses a program to withdraw all the funds for themselves! The money vanishes, leaving you with nothing. 💸
🔹 Why does this work?
TRX is required to conduct the transaction, and as soon as you transfer it to the wallet, the scammer immediately activates the withdrawal.
🔹 How to avoid this?
Don't believe that you can get 'easy' money from a wallet that you were 'accidentally' given access to. Remember: free cheese only exists in a mousetrap! 🧀
Scheme #2: Selling USDT through a dubious site 💻
Often, scammers offer to sell your USDT on a 'proven' site that supposedly will instantly transfer money to your card. But as soon as you send the cryptocurrency, it disappears, along with your chances of getting back even a ruble or a dollar. 💥
🔹 Why does this work?
Fraudulent sites usually make themselves look as similar as possible to real ones, with logos, beautiful designs, and 'recommendations' online. But it's all just a deception!
🔹 How to avoid this?
Always check the platforms where you plan to sell crypto. Use only verified exchanges and never click on links that strangers send you.
Safety tips 🛡️
1. Don't transfer TRX to someone else's wallets — it's just food for scammers!
2. Don't visit dubious sites for selling crypto — they are just waiting for your trust to leave you with nothing.
3. Only trust verified platforms — Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, and other exchanges with a good reputation.
Remember, cryptocurrency requires attention and caution. 💪 Share this article with friends to protect them from scammers!
