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

greed causes self-forgetfulness and loss.

Know that
stupid people won't share private keys because too many people are smarter.
smart people will share private keys because there are still enough stupid people.

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

Then that someone you know is greedy.

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

And to think that person deposit $20, then it shows that he is making a test as he was also expecting something good in return if ever the exchange will be successful. Too much greediness that will spend time searching for an exposed private key.

This is an old trick but some people might be asked about it. I think that the scammer has been putting the function to make any ethereum that being deposited into the address will be automatically sent to the destination address that already saved by the scammer as a destination address.

This function can also be used to transfer the erc20 tokens that have come to the address automatically to the destination address too.
It looks like it's a beneficiary function. I'm thinking about the scammer was modifying the beneficiary function and that's worked.

This has been around for a long time even before uniswap I think.  So UNI has nothing to do with this.  It is true that this is a scammer's way of tricking someone who is greedy without thinking long and maybe until now there are still many people who are deceived in the same way.  Be careful

Greediness will truly lead you to disappointment and losing money.

If those people searching for private keys online think rightly, then everyone has thought of it became rich already. But it's not like that, it's fishy to see "free" money online just because they've searched for it.

These scammers are using the weakness of these people, using their greediness for their benefit.

Lol power of smart contracts, personally i was not aware that we can automate or create processes inside our wallets too using smart contracts. I have heard some ico wallets do that but i always thought that team moves the raised eth to some other wallet everyday.
I think we all need to learn more about how these contracts work so we can use them to automate our own wallets and make use of these features.

This idea is unique and I have never heard of this before and it shows how the technology works beyond even hackers and scammers knowledge as well so it is definitely scary, however this feels like a deserved act as well.

I mean if you are out there looking to steal from other people, I would say that there is a big chance you deserve to get your money stolen as well, so that is why I think it is not as bad as you might imagine it is, after all we are not really people who steal from others and if we try to steal from others it is only fair that others try to steal from us as well.

But, the idea that "if you think you are smart, there are smarter out there" works in every facet of life, it is not for crypto or scamming only, it could be for everything in life.

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.

 If you think you are smart well think again

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..
