💥🔴 Huge loss of 699,990 $USDT due to 'address poisoning' scam! 🔴💥
#
A user tried to send funds to their Binance wallet, but mistakenly sent the payment to a fake address that looked almost identical to the correct one:
🧪 First, they sent a test amount of $10 to the correct address
⏳ A few seconds later... they sent the next payment to the fake address and lost everything!
❌ (fake address: 0x2c1134a046…c7989c0b)
✅ (correct address: 0x2c11a3a5f7…b1cd9c0b)
This trick is called 'address poisoning':
🔸 The scammer sends a small transfer to your address with a similar format
🔸 This confuses you, and you use the wrong address for the next payment
🔸 And your funds are gone…
📉 This is the biggest loss of its kind in 2025
📊 According to Chainalysis, over 82,000 addresses have fallen victim to this attack
⚠️ Carefully verify the entire address, don’t rely only on the first and last characters!
