Web 3 wallet: Be cautious of unknown trades
When users use Web3 wallet, trades are generated, including deposit and withdrawal records. These trades can be exploited by malicious actors to mislead users into copying the wrong address or authorizing malicious 'project links', resulting in asset loss. We urge all users to stay vigilant and beware of scams.
Scam Case 1
Scam methods
Pushing unknown links/activities to wallet addresses: Criminals often use various technical means to develop malicious links, then lure users with activities such as mining, airdrops, or high-profit opportunities, enticing them to authorize their Web3 wallets. Alternatively, they may use other methods to guide users to authorize their Web3 wallets. Once authorized, the criminals immediately transfer the assets from the user's wallet.
How to prevent
Do not click on or participate in unknown links or airdrop activities received in your wallet. Do not authorize your Web3 wallet to third-party application with unknown risks. Regularly check if your Web3 wallet has authorized unfamiliar sites and promptly cancel any such authorizations. If you discover that your wallet has been compromised, transfer the remaining asset to a secure address as soon as possible and contact official customer support if necessary.
Scam Case Two
Scam methods
Using similar addresses to mislead users: Criminals first observe on-chain activity and identify wallet addresses that frequently handle large funds transactions, monitoring these wallets and finding their regular receiving addresses. They then use an address "generator" to create addresses that are very similar to these receiving addresses (usually matching the first few or last few characters), and repeatedly send small amounts of assets to these wallet addresses. When users make transfers, they may be misled into copying the wrong address, resulting in the loss of their assets.
How to prevent
Do not copy unknown onchain addresses for transfers. Before making a withdrawal, please verify the complete address to ensure it is correct. Only proceed with the operation after confirming the address is accurate. If you notice any abnormalities, immediately stop the transaction.
