500,000 dollars disappeared in less than a minute!
Nowadays, scammers have upgraded from telecom scams to cryptocurrency scams. Today, I will reveal several common U theft scams to help everyone avoid pitfalls!
1. QR code contract authorization U theft
The scammer sends a QR code, claiming it's for transferring funds, but it's actually a smart contract authorization link.
Once you authorize via the QR code, your USDT will be transferred away. Many people get scammed and still thank the scammer, truly hard to guard against!
Suggestion:
Do not scan unfamiliar QR codes casually, especially those involving funds; always verify clearly before scanning!
2. Clipboard virus
Scammers send a virus-infected file with an enticing name, such as 'High Yield Investment Plan'. Once you open it, the virus lurks in your computer.
When you copy the USDT address, the virus will secretly replace it with the scammer's.
You thought you transferred to yourself, but actually, you transferred to a scammer!
Suggestion:
Do not download unfamiliar files randomly, install antivirus software, and manually verify the address before transferring!
3. Fake wallet scam
Scammers create a fake wallet that looks exactly like a real one. Small transfers are fine, but once you put in a large amount of funds, the wallet gets 'frozen', requiring you to pay a 'deposit' to unfreeze it, until you have emptied your savings.
Suggestion:
Wallets must be downloaded from official channels; do not be greedy for high returns, and verify multiple times before large transfers!
There are many tricks in cryptocurrency scams, and the core is to steal your money! Remember:
Do not easily trust strangers, do not be greedy for high returns, and improve your safety awareness.
If you or someone around you gets scammed, report it to the police immediately. Although virtual currencies are not legally protected, reporting helps combat scammers.
In short, do not just focus on high returns; be careful of scammers targeting your principal! Investment requires caution, safety first!
