Unveiling the Multi-Signature Wallet Scam that Cheats Gas Fees in the Cryptocurrency World
The scam I am discussing today is also quite common; it exploits people's psychology of wanting to get something for nothing. First, the scammer pretends to be a novice in the cryptocurrency space. They claim that USDT has been transferred out, and then they will inadvertently leak both the mnemonic phrase and the private key. Typically, individuals seeing such a large amount of USDT along with a mnemonic phrase feel like they have hit the jackpot.
When someone uses the mnemonic phrase to restore the wallet and discovers that there really is that much USDT, they may want to transfer some TRX as gas fees so that they can withdraw the USDT.
In fact, this wallet is a multi-signature wallet. Once you transfer TRX tokens to that wallet address, it will immediately transfer the TRX away. The scammer is cheating by taking the TRX transaction fees; any TRX in that wallet will automatically be transferred out. You will not be able to withdraw any assets from that wallet.
Other chain wallets operate similarly, but I won't elaborate further.
