Crypto scams are evolving — and one dangerous method is spreading fast: Address Poisoning.

Scammers are sending tiny “dust” transactions to wallets on Ethereum to trick users into copying the wrong wallet address.

One mistake
 and your crypto could be gone forever. 😬


📊 The Scale of the Attack

Between 2022–2024:

‱ 17M+ poisoning attempts recorded


‱ 1.3M crypto users targeted


‱ $79M+ in losses

And the scary part?


These attacks rely on human error, not hacking.

⚠ How the Scam Works

1ïžâƒŁ A scammer sends a tiny dust transaction to your wallet.


2ïžâƒŁ The transaction includes a look-alike wallet address.


3ïžâƒŁ Later, when you copy an address from transaction history, you accidentally copy the scammer’s address.


4ïžâƒŁ You send funds
 directly to the attacker.

Game over!!!!!!!!!!
