Yesterday, I Fell into a Honeypot Trap — Be Cautious!
Yesterday, I received three unexpected incoming transfers in my wallet:
5,000,000 SHIB
540 USDC (with a suspicious short link)
200 USDT (worth around $200)
At first glance, this looked like a blessing. But in reality, it was a honeypot attack — a common trap where scammers send fake tokens or funds to your wallet to lure you into interacting with malicious smart contracts or phishing links.
Here’s what you need to know:
Never click on suspicious links attached to token names (like the [t.ly/...] in the USDC transaction).
Don’t try to swap or transfer suspicious tokens without checking them on a block explorer.
These tokens can trigger smart contracts that drain your wallet once interacted with.
Stay Safe: Always verify unexpected transactions. Use tools like Etherscan or BSCScan to inspect the contract and transaction details. And remember, if it looks too good to be true—it probably is.
