Yesterday, I Fell into a Honeypot Trap — Be Cautious!
Yesterday, I received three unexpected incoming transfers in my wallet:
5,000,000 SHIB
540 USDC (with a suspicious short link)
200 USDT (worth around $200)
At first glance, this looked like a blessing. But in reality, it was a honeypot attack — a common trap where scammers send fake tokens or funds to your wallet to lure you into interacting with malicious smart contracts or phishing links.
Here’s what you need to know:
Never click on suspicious links attached to token names (like the [t.ly/...] in the USDC transaction).
Don’t try to swap or transfer suspicious tokens without checking them on a block explorer.
These tokens can trigger smart contracts that drain your wallet once interacted with.
Stay Safe: Always verify unexpected transactions. Use tools like Etherscan or BSScan to inspect the contract and transaction details. And remember, if it looks too good to be true—it probably is.
Tether CEO Paolo said in Bankless: Tether is expected to become the world's largest Bitcoin miner by the end of this year; Tether is actually promoting the expansion of US dollar hegemony; this year's profit will be greater than last year's 13.7 billion US dollars; Tether does not plan to go public; the next wave of growth will come from the commodity trading sector, and almost all commodity traders are contacting Tether.
