【Crypto World】Recently, another shocking on-chain scam has been exposed. A user accidentally sent $50 million to a scammer after copying an address from a tampered transaction record. This kind of “address pollution” tactic is now particularly rampant—scammers pollute wallet transaction histories to make you copy the wrong address in a hurry. A seemingly simple copy-paste can empty your wallet in minutes. This reminds us to be especially cautious when operating in Web3: always verify each digit of the address before transferring, do not blindly trust transaction history, and it’s best to confirm via address book or official channels. Once money enters the blockchain, it can never be recovered.
