Almost got scammed out of 3000U by a "6% high premium"! New cryptocurrency scam tactics exposed!
Almost lost everything over a dinner gathering! I must expose this new type of cryptocurrency scam today, everyone needs to be alert!
Meeting a "noble person" at a dinner? It's actually a trap!
I met a guy A during dinner, and as soon as he heard I was into crypto, he immediately said a wealthy friend B was urgently buying USDT at a high price—6% premium! She was offering 106 for USDT that’s worth 100 in the market. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a good deal? But I instantly had alarm bells ringing: with such a high premium, can the money be clean?
Guy A swore that B runs a beauty salon and does wholesale fruit business, absolutely reliable! He even said B was willing to make a small initial payment to let me try with 3000U. Is it inconvenient for a remote transaction? B even guided guy A step-by-step on how to download a wallet and even transferred the Gas fee!
Strange operations are all traps!
B insisted that I transfer the USDT to guy A's wallet before she would make the payment, claiming that the exchange was not safe. But why go around this circle when I could directly withdraw? I immediately created a new wallet and changed the address, but B got anxious: it had to be transferred to the original wallet! At that moment, I completely realized—it's a scam!
Upon closer inspection, I discovered a shocking scheme!
Upon checking guy A's wallet records, there was indeed a "contract authorization" operation hidden! It turns out B used "teaching transfer" as a pretense, making guy A scan a code to sign the authorization contract! As long as I transferred the USDT in, she could instantly run off with the money! The wallet is real, and the USDT is real, but the authorization means giving the money away willingly!
Lessons learned quickly!
1️⃣ High profits = high risk: a 6% premium is the bait, don’t let money blind you!
2️⃣ Unreasonable operations must have something fishy: transactions bypassing formal channels are 100% suspicious!
3️⃣ Don’t trust acquaintances’ endorsements: scammers are great at playing the emotional card, confirm repeatedly before transferring!
