Imagine stumbling upon a "leaked" wallet in a Telegram group or on Twitter, loaded with thousands of dollars in tokens. You think you’ve just gotten *lucky* — a rare find. But what you don’t realize is… you’re the one being targeted. 🎯
It all starts innocently enough. You see a screenshot of a wallet backup phrase, and with it, an impressive balance of tokens. Someone must've made a mistake, right? You quickly import the wallet into MetaMask, see the funds, and feel the rush. Maybe you even try sending some of the tokens to your own wallet, thinking you're about to cash in. But wait… nothing happens.
The transaction doesn’t go through. You panic, wondering what went wrong. Then, you realize: there’s no ETH to cover the gas fees. So, you send over a small amount of ETH, hoping to pay for the transaction.
And that’s when the scam kicks in.
The scammer is watching that wallet *24/7*, ready to pounce. As soon as your ETH arrives to cover the fees, a bot swoops in, front-running your transaction, and in an instant, your ETH is gone. 💸
But here’s the catch: that wallet wasn’t really “leaked.” The balance? Fake. The tokens? Just bait. Often, these wallets are enhanced with fake contracts or fake LP tokens — things that *look* valuable, but can’t actually be sold. It’s all a setup to lure in unsuspecting victims who think they’ve found easy money.
So, how can you avoid falling into this trap? Simple — **never trust a leaked seed phrase.** If someone “accidentally” exposes their wallet with thousands of dollars in it, ask yourself: why hasn’t it been drained already? The answer is clear — **you’re the mark.**
Share this with friends and make sure everyone knows: **this scam is real** and it’s lurking in the shadows, waiting for the next victim. Stay sharp and don’t let th
em catch you! 🚫
