💥 $50 MILLION — GONE IN ONE CLICK
A crypto user just paid the most expensive Web3 lesson ever.
Here's the breakdown:
🧠 THE SETUP
▫️ Did a test send of 50 $USDT to his own wallet ✅
▫️ Went smoothly, so he prepared to move **$50M more**
🎣 THE TRAP (Address Poisoning Attack)
▫️ Scammer was watching
▫️ Created a FAKE wallet matching first & last 4 chars
▫️ Sent dust to victim’s address
▫️ Fake address now sat in victim’s tx history
💀 THE FATAL MISTAKE
▫️ Victim copied address from transaction history
▫️ Only checked "0xbaf4…F8b5" — looked identical
▫️ Sent 49,999,950 USDT straight to the scammer
☠️ RESULT: $50,000,000 LOST. FOREVER.
🛡️ PROTECT YOURSELF
✅ ALWAYS verify the FULL address — not just start/end
✅ NEVER copy from transaction history
✅ Use saved contacts / address book
✅ Multiple small tests before large transfers
Remember:
Your crypto = Your responsibility.
One rushed move = a life-changing loss.
Stay alert. Double-check. Stay safe.
