Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: Be cautious when copying wallet addresses
« Last post by Faisal2202 on Today at 10:30:36 PM »Still confused how something like this could happen, but try to be cautious and don't feel too lazy to cross check your address before sending or posting. Recall Bitcoin transactions are irreversible after 6 confirmations, once confirmed it's gone. You can tell the wallet address it went to but not the owner. Except they are careless, which I doubt they are.I am glad you learned about this scam, I was also shocked to see the existence of such a scam although I never became a victim but learned about it via BTT, and I assume after reading your words you in fact become a victim of it right? Well, it would be great if you would have provided some proof or ss so newbies would know more about how these scammers work. Although Address spoofing is also one of their scams, in which they create a similar kind of address as the last and the first digits are the same as yours.
And you end up copying them by considering them yours, and when you send the funds they are actually going to the scammer's address. This is also an old type of scam. As we all know bull run is ongoing, and many newbies are joining crypto market and most of them are not aware of such scams. Its great that you have made this topic so it would be a reminder for those who already know it, and will be a lesson for newcomers.
