🚨 SCAM DETECTED: This is how they tried to scam me using my Binance Web3 wallet
Today I saw something strange in my transaction history of the Binance Web3 wallet: a transaction that appeared as if I had sent it, but in reality, I did not sign or authorize it.
⚠️ What happened?
This transaction only appears in the wallet's history, but it is not recorded in the network explorer (like BscScan).
The scammer made a transaction to a deposit address very similar to mine. This appears in my Web3 wallet history as if I had done it, but that was not the case.
Additionally, they simulated another identical transaction to one I made earlier to confuse me with the exact amount, but with a fake token called USDT, with a fake amount of 1044, this is the scam to get me to copy the fake deposit address.
🧾 Real example:
My true address:
0x0c69bD...A32AEAd
Fake address used: it is to make me mistake by not checking properly and copying it from the history, sending funds to the scammer
0x0c69c4...a610aEAD
👀 They are almost identical at the beginning and the end, but with differences in the middle, just to make you copy the wrong address.
🧠 Did they steal something from me?
No. They cannot move funds without your signature.
This scam is a visual trap that seeks to make you copy the address incorrectly and send funds to the scammers in the future.
🛡️ How to protect yourself
✅ Use the official deposit address provided by Binance, never copy addresses from the history.
✅ Always verify each character if you have to manually copy an address.
✅ Be careful with fake tokens that use common names like “USDT.”
Check the red alerts that appear are warnings, and in the txid of the transactions, those wallets are marked as phishing. Also, the Binance wallet indicates Binance deposit in the history.
Share this information to prevent others from falling into the trap.
🔥 It is not a hack, it is a trap that waits for you to make a mistake.
Being alert is the best defense!
