🚓 Crypto scams: address poisoning
▫️ These scams attempt to deceive you when you're sending money. While they might not be as severe as other scams, they can still lead to financial loss.
⁉️ How scammers trick you:
▫️ Scammers look at who you send money to often. Then, they make an address that looks similar to the real one and send a small amount of money to it. This confuses you and might make you copy the wrong address next time you send money.
🗝 How to protect yourself:
▫️ Check addresses carefully: always look closely at addresses before sending money. Make sure to double-check the whole address to avoid copying the wrong one.
▫️ Use an address book: some wallets have an address book feature. Use it to save addresses you trust. Confirm them before adding to be safe from fake addresses.
