🚨 Beware of the "Leaked Wallet" Scam!
This trick targets people who think they've stumbled upon easy money — but it ends in them getting scammed.
🔍 It usually begins with a Telegram post or a tweet showing a seed phrase and a wallet screenshot. The wallet appears to hold thousands of dollars in tokens. It looks like someone accidentally revealed their private keys.
💡 Tempted by the opportunity, some users import the wallet into MetaMask or another crypto wallet app. They see the token balance and try to transfer the funds — but the transaction fails due to no ETH for gas fees.
So they send a small amount of ETH to the wallet to cover gas... and that’s exactly when the trap is sprung.
⚠️ A bot, controlled by the scammer, monitors the wallet. As soon as ETH is received, it automatically front-runs the transaction and empties the wallet within seconds.
🎭 The tokens you saw were fake bait — often worthless LP tokens or contracts made to look valuable. The wallet was never leaked by accident — the scammer owns it and set it up to trick opportunists.
🚫 Never trust a publicly shared seed phrase. If a wallet was really leaked with valuable assets, ask yourself: Why hasn’t anyone taken them yet? The truth is — it’s a setup, and you’re being targeted.
