🚨 Beware of “Address Poisoning” — A New Crypto Scam Trick

Scammers are now using lookalike wallet addresses to trick users into sending funds to the wrong place.

Here’s how it works (simple):

They generate an address that looks almost identical to yours or someone you usually send crypto to

They send a tiny transaction so their fake address appears in your recent activity

Later, when you send crypto, you might accidentally pick the poisoned address

Since blockchain transactions can’t be reversed — the funds are gone

📌 How to stay safe

Always double-check the entire address

Never trust “recent addresses” blindly

Do a small test transfer

Use ENS/BNS or save your own trusted address list

Use wallets/extensions that warn about lookalike addresses

Address poisoning doesn’t hack your wallet — it hacks your habits.

Stay sharp 👀, stay safe.
