⚠️ What You Think is a “Bargain” Might Be a Trap Set by Scammers!
Recently, several friends around me have been badly scammed by fake U schemes, with some losing everything right after entering the space. Today, I will expose these scams completely, and hopefully save you tens of thousands in tuition!
🚨 5 Major Scams of Fake U (with Real Cases)
Counterfeit USDT Recharge
Scammers Falsify Transfer Records and Even Tamper with Blockchain Explorer Data!
Case: A Friend Did an OTC Transaction, the Other Party Sent an “Arrival Screenshot” and Scammed His BTC, But There’s No Record on the Blockchain!
Phishing Links/Fake Wallets
Impersonating imToken Customer Service to Send “Account Abnormal” Links, One Click Can Drain Your Wallet!

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Pig Butchering Scam
“Private Transfers are Cheaper” → Blocked After Receiving Money!
Case: Someone Believed in “Direct WeChat Transfer at 0.95 Discount on U,” and Lost 50,000, Even the Platform Couldn’t Help!
Funding Scheme Scam
“Deposit U to Earn 1% Daily” → Gone in Three Months!
Truth: All High Returns Are Just Paying You Interest with Your Principal!
Impersonating Exchange Customer Service
“Account Suspected of Money Laundering, Transfer U to a Safe Account to Unfreeze” → Classic Script!
Counterattack: Real Customer Service Will Never Ask You to Transfer Coins or Give Your Private Key!
🛡️ 5 Anti-Scam Principles: Harsh, Steady, Lazy, Suspicious, Check
Harsh: Check the Hash on the Blockchain! Screenshots Can Be Edited, But Blockchain Records Can’t Be Faked.
Steady: Only Use Major Platforms for OTC, Better to Pay an Extra 0.1% Fee.
Lazy: Don’t Click Any Links! Enter the Official Website Yourself, One Missing Letter Can Lead You to a Pitfall.
Suspicious: OTC Transactions Start Small, If They Urge You to “Trade Quickly,” There’s Definitely a Problem!
Check: Look at Permissions Before Authorizing DApps, Don’t Give “Unlimited Transfers” the Green Light!
💡 Ultimate Advice
Don’t Be Greedy: Market Price is 6.9, Someone Selling at 6.5? It’s Either Dirty Money or a Scam!
