If you think you are smart well think again

There is called when you feel you are smart, you are actually stupid. because smart people will never think of himself as smart, he will always think there is something lack of mine, to be increased again, to learn more and more. because the more he knows, the few he will feel he knows.

Some smart scammers are out there willingly exposing their private keys and recovery seed so that greedy people can scan through them, here is what the scammers have in store

It is like an old method that is modified and again conformed to the latest hot project that will make every greedy person interested so easily to the trap.

What we can do is actually none, just be careful and do not be greedy. Think that we can't get funds that are not ours exactly.

This scam has been around for many years, the people being scammed are often new and greedy. As soon as they see the money in their wallet they only think of taking it without carefully checking it.
As long as you carefully examine that ETH wallet you will find that there are only ETH transfers and it is usually done instantly.

After UNI Airdrops many starts looking for people's Private keys and recovery seeds using search engines and data engines like 4shared and others but guess what?

Some smart scammers are out there willingly exposing their private keys and recovery seed so that greedy people can scan through them, here is what the scammers have in store

The scammers leave good valuable tokens on the wallet and set the wallet to automatically send out any deposited Ethereum, the greed people will want to deposit eth to quickly move out the tokens to exchanges but its a smart trap, once the eth landed on the wallet address it automatically send out to another Ethereum address...

How did I know this? I know someone who fell for this, luckily he only deposit 20$ worth of Ethereum..

OMG! How is this possible? I didn't know of any process like this. I don't know how I will send tokens if deposit Ethereum automatically vanished. I didn't send my private, because I had so many doubts about this process. Now I think we should send our wallet which we won't ever use again Wink

. Scammers are taking advantage of UNI token hype.

Anyone who is greedy enough to send eth to a wallet address he stumbled upon just because he/she was able to get hold of the pk will only have themselves to blame, they say nothing good comes easy, anyone who send eth just to get coins that does not belong to them is equally a scammer, there are certain things that should be frown Upon.

Didn't really know something like this looks like a battle between a scammers and greedy users. It's good thing that you've brought this up now most of us know here greediness is not really good at any terms.

I had such a case in 2017, a friend of mine lost money with such an ETH wallet.
He stumbles upon the seed of an ETh address which contains a token worth thousands of dollars, however as soon as he transfers ETH to that address, it is immediately moved elsewhere.
Fortunately, my friend lost only a few dollars

it is a very well known fish trap in crypto. I heard many stories like this, sharing the private key in public and deleting it immediately. People think that it was a mistake but it was just a trap for them. fishes connects to the wallet and starts to send ethereum to take the belongings. but ofcourse it is not possible Wink

It's not the first time that I have seen or heard about incidents like this. These days, scammers are always looking for smart ways to scam people of their money. Just a few days again, I received an email about a uniswap airdrop (which I knew was fake). I checked the airdrop form included and it only requested for my email and my ETH address. They didn't ask for sensitive data like mnemonic phrases, private key or otherwise. So I was curious what they could do with it.

With new technology scammers are also getting advanced and there is no area that is free of scammers they are literally everywhere.
Personally i ignore most of the things online and just do what i have to do with my own money, coins or holdings everything else is a no for me just to avoid scams.

Bruh it's an old method nothing new at all.

The address has been set up with smart contract, they will leave some token with a huge value and share the private key so everyone who found it will try to send some ethereum for gas transfer the token. When the fund arrived will immediately send to another address, its really a old method and pretty simple to recognize just by watching the transaction of that address.

It's will really weird when the private key already expose and there has some receive transaction ethereum but the token not moved at all when the eth send to another same adress.

I am just seen this for the first time. This is a smart move to scam the scammer. probably it will help discourage those scammers looking for a while to get to peoples wallet. It might be very simple but I doubt if any scammer will be patient enough to watch the transaction detail of the address. All that will be up to is moving the coin in the wallet not knowing a trap has been set for him

The thing is, they really have to expect many wallet to fall into that trap for them to get a reasonable amount out of this old trick, because eth for transaction fee is not a serious amount, but except that greedy person is stupid enough to send a reasonable amount to a wallet that is not yours, even if you find private key, as long as the wallet was not created by you there is no need to send reasonable amount to such wallet.

Yo, iam just thinking how people still can get scammed by that obvious trap. ofcourse greed is always the reason, but cmon, that's old trick. Hope some people can create good blog post for this kind of thing so people don't get scammed again

Sometimes the old trick can work for the new target because they don't know how to protect their wallet. So that method can be used to trick them. It is an important lesson for us because we never know what method the hacker or other people will use to trick us, and we need to be careful to save our private keys. If someone wants to steal other people, he will use many ways that he knows or he will learn the other ways from others to get the way to trick us.

Scammers are getting smarter indeed.

This can really convince greedy people to follow what should be done to get the anticipated money not knowing its a trap.

Well be aware to this to not end up as a victim.

Needless to say, they can’t remain to use a similar approach, as people began to recognize the style of their deception. They think of alternative approaches where people won’t suspect anything. As for the victims, they probably did not anticipate the idea of losing their assets in such a way. We should be aware a scam exists in various forms and that scammers are not only smart but also resourceful. Hence, instead of being greedy, why not work in your own ways to earn?

Recently, people very often began to hope for a "freebie" and therefore believe that they are the ones who will be lucky to get a big jackpot without any difficulties. And at the same time, scammers work very hard and improve their skills so that their income is as large as possible. Therefore, the winner is the one who works and thinks accordingly.

Nicely done scammer being scammed I like that idea or wasting the time of scammers I have watch several videos not connected with crypto but it is still funny how the scammers fall victim or waste time on trying to get something and ended up losing money or totally wasted their time.
I tried to do it before and a scammer get tired of me and called me idiot for not falling into their trap and wasted their time on telegram.
A random person message me asking for help and I tried but when I found out that it was a scam I just played along and just continue acting innocent till they got tired of waiting to the amount that I said I had sent to their address.

This is an old move by the scammers, but since many are still hoping to get an easy money they are falling into this scam trap.
Scammers have so many ways to scam us so if you are going to be careless on handling your money, coins or tokens you'll get scam. The big airdrop of UNI wakes up the sleeping scammers, and I'm sure they are waiting for more airdrop so be careful. Better to focus on your own, on how you make money and don't trust anyone with your money, this can lessen the risk of losing money.

This thread just wanted to remind us to keep the privacy security of our account tight enough to spare us from hacking and even scam. There been out there waiting for a perfect timing to get those easy money come from investors easily falling from their trap. We can't blame them to be fall into their trap because scammers were really good to camouflage their identity as a real asset. So better to be careful and keen observant.

This is a trap for those who are greedy and it shows why people fall to crypto scam today, most times it's the investors or people fault and the ultimate reason is greed, they allow greed to take over how they think thus leading them to stupid decisions, If you come across people's Private key must you try to rob the owner?

Thats not new news , I see that kind of wallet long time ago way back 2016 if I remember it righ they filled the probeye keys in Google form,with MNE balance in it, once you send it will automatically transfered to other address once you send any amount of eth or tokens. That's only greed of person that thinking that they got a free money in the end they will become the victim because they transferred money in that wallet.

Then that someone you know is greedy.

If only people will think not once, not twice but thrice, no deposit should be made.

LOL, it's greediness but perhaps he/she thought its might worth it, given a try to outsmart the owner who chose to give out his private key, the hunter became hunted Grin

Some people chose to think illogically on some obvious situations, internet was built for communication with other wider application, don't expect free things on the net.

I think OP should also mention where is the hotspot for this kind of scams. As far as I know, this was pretty common back in 2017 and most of the time, they are spreading their private key in telegram server. I don't know about now though since I stopped using telegram and I never see this trick in discord.

I have to admit I've fallen for it once. Good thing I immediately noticed that this wallet was programmed to automatically send excess balance to scammers.
