If you are smarter than the thief, may you can exploit the smart contract and take the tokens inside the wallet.
May i see the example of the trap? Im curious to read the smart contract code Grin

i didn't know there is this kind of scheme i will really be surprised if the wallet doesn't have any ETH inside while there is a big amount of altcoin. if there is UNI inside it means someone out there claimed it from uniswap. it does have an owner and if you want to sent it to your wallet that means you are also a thief.

this is a funny situation actually, had this happened already i wanna see which wallet this is and see which users in bitcointalk tried to send ETH lol

My personal experience is because I am too happy and I don't see the address sent to my email, and I also feel like I have the token so I am complacent by sending my private wallet and without a count of days the tokens that the wallet start to disappear..

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..

The people who fall from this method are not really greedy but they are newbie and no knowledge at all about this hacking technique. I think these scammers are not deserve to call smarter people because they steal other people money maybe better to call them thieves.

They have no knowledge what private keys is? Really? I don't think that someone who never opened a crypto wallet can know what private keys and recovery seeds are, they can only know that private keys and recovery seeds are the only key to any crypto wallet once they start using crypto wallets themselves, this isn't newbie issue it's stealing

How? You need to explain better because what OP said is 100% true, when newbies created a new wallet the wallet will warn them about keeping their private keys or recovery seed safe and to themselves only and they keep theirs only to go on google search to find others private keys or recovery seed? Listen to yourself mate, this is pure greedy path

I've heard about this and it is really smart.

No one is saying who was the victim of it but I know one of my friends fell for this. Some people might say that who's stupid enough to share a private key on the internet but there are a lot of people that accidentally shared or showed it. I know someone who did that and at that time he is just starting to know about ETH addresses. Either way, we should really be careful because not all of the things that we see might be a blessing, it might be a trap.

I really find this stuff hilarious esepcially to those people who search the internet for private keys since their intention is clearly to steal anything valuable from those discovered addresses.

Expect that there will always be people like them.
In this world, we are full of scammers in all kinds of forms.
It is how you attack or avoid these people. And experience sometimes will teach you to prevent from being screwed.
Also, one easy way is to do at least a lil bit of research. You can just paste your search in google and you will find what you're looking for.

Schemer = Scammer

No matter what you do call them it is just the same. Deceiving out people just for the sake of stealing their money is really just the same.
Once an old modus or scheme had been busted out then its normal for these scammers to create something new that hadnt been busted
by the masses because they would really be thinking that it would just be a waste of effort on trying to scam out people on using a known or common scamming technique
and here we are now seeing these new way of scamming out people.This should really be shared up to spread up awareness.

greed will genuinely lead you to disillusionment and losing money.

If those individuals looking for private keys online think appropriately, at that point everybody has considered it became rich as of now. But dislike that, it's off-putting to see "free" money online on the grounds that they've looked for it.

This trick is not new; it has been around for several years. In my opinion, I first heard about it in 2018, but I can't say for sure when.
Everything is based on greed, because in this case you forget about vigilance and rush to snatch the jackpot as soon as possible before others do it. As a result, your 20 turns into a scammer's income.

Its started around 2017-2018 one of the minereum genesis address is one of the earlier where you can see large value of token when you check the address in etherscan . I don't heard any new waller having that again but obviously they can do it in different wallet if they want since they already started that kind of gimmick.

I'm coming across this for the first time. But they must be very smart for them to be able to carry out that kind of job. And one other thing I want to say is that if you are not a thief too, it will be very hard for you to call victim. Because you scam the wallet and you noticed a coin on it that worth something. For you mind, you want to transfer gas to move it out. The two of you are scammers . One is just smarter than the other one. Trying to do that alone makes you to a thief, and anything that happens along the line is your cup of tea alone.

You have said it all, stealing is an individual thing that need adjustment. With most of the comments above, if we are to test everyone that has made comments on this thread by sending each account a $1000, only few will return the money, so many will deactivate their account. Easier said than done right.
Developers are also smart goons on crypto now a days, you see a good project turn bad when they exit scam and run away with investors funds. Smartness is just different from stealing.

People should put in mind that there is no easy money, if its too good to be true it possibly not true. Scammers will do their best to get something from everyone even in the stupidest way.

Unfortunately with the new increasing price of bitcoin and all other altcoins there are a lot of newbies in the crypto world. Which means there are a lot of people who do not know this kind of scamming as well, which is why we have these kinds of scams a lot during these periods as well. I wouldn't fall for such a trick because I have been here for a very long time, there are many other scam methods as well that I do not fall anymore, however I have been here for years, in a few years I will be capable of saying a decade, so I am an old head here, however there are newer and newer people everyday.

I am on the belief that there is at least one more person who was never interested in crypto but involved every single day, probably more than one but at least one everyday, which is why we do make these kinds of warnings since we should warn those newer people to be careful about these.

I think this is a good one for catching the scammers and making their effort fruitless by taking away their own funds also while they try to take yours. Some that successfully send out tokens will leave seamlessly useless tokens. It's good to set traps for scammers also.

Well, that's how life sometimes work. At first you thought you are winning but the truth is that you are already being outsmarted by a much worse thief or fraud. Scammers are starting to develop new ways on how they can steal other people's money. It would be best if we stay updated upon the new schemes of the scammers so that as we play smart, they wouldn't or they would have a hard time tricking us into their dirty little games. Always protect you crypto and make sure you are storing it in a really tight security wallet.

Remember, we have to be careful and don't be greedy because now scammers have many ways to earn money

Actually this one is a little bit new to me when it comes to scamming attempts.They do make look that its just dumb to sent out some keys in a wallet that has some valuable coins inside.

If you are really not dumb then you would really be having that question in mind on why the hell they would be giving out such key if they would able to sell it out and make their own?

If you dont let your greedy nature overcome you then you would really be having these thoughts once you do receive and check the key for yourself.If greed do overcome you then
for sure those eth's that you sent will really be falling on scammers wallet.

Scammers have always been and always will be. You need to be very serious about everything related to money. This is especially true for cryptocurrency, because all transactions take place on the network and here, reinsurance will never be superfluous. I think that you need to use all possible means of protection against scammers (hardware wallet or seperate laptop).

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.

It's not new but it should be heard by the community. Many are still unaware of this scheme. This the very reason of this forum, to educate the community and to warn them of scammers can do.

Woow, to be honest I am just hearing about this and it also shows how far technology has grown, be it for good or for bad. I believe this will also serve as a lesson and hence reducing the urge to scam people (even that is even possible), this is because, the first scammer do not know if he will be a victim of such, and therefore to be on the safer side and save his little ETH, might decide to be at peace. On the other hand, it also goes to show how far people can go just to steal from others, imagine going about searching data engines and search engines in order to get peoples private keys.
In addition to this, it also proves that, the best way to secure your private keys or mnemonic phrases is not by having a screenshot of it, or by saving it online but by having it on paper, then keeping it in secure places.

Due to the pandemic, more scammers are roaming around. Even in social media sites they are wandering, looking for prospect persons that they can victimize. So we should be aware, alert and smart in order for us not involve in scams and other illegal activities.

In my experience, there's this person who forwarded me a free netflix application in which you can use to watch and stream without any account involving. I tried this app, little did I know that it is a fake app and when you download it, those bad guys will have an access to your social media account and any information that can be found on your phone. My social accounts git hacked and it took days for me before I retrieve those. I even restore the factory settings of my phone in order to erase everything most especially my virtual wallet informations. Hopefully my coins are safe.

Why do you want to deposit in the first place on any sorts of airdrops? I have tiny experience with airdrops before but it didn't require any deposits even a tiny amount.
I just risked my email for that and gladly I used a junk email cause they just sent me a phishing site thinking that I use MEW.

Wise move as there are lots of such kinds of scammers who are trying to hack your wallet thinking that the email you used are same with your link wallet emails.

As there are people who unknowingly deal with this, scammers able to penetrate and emptied their wallets without their knowledge, so being always careful whenever you participate is a must.

Never fall with this offer without putting some time in doing some research to avoid anything
to happen with you, most with your personal information.

People who are smart enough to think of such a method first deserve to get a reward.

Can we really call them scammers? It's a smart contract trap rather than a scam. A scammer promises you something or tries to steal money from you. In this method you are trying to steal the money but end up losing your own. The hunter becomes the prey. Tongue

If they told you to send money to their address to get coins stored there they'd be scamming you, but in this case they are not.

There are no friends in this business, unfortunately. You can trust only yourself. Yes, you can watch hundreds of videos about altcoins and projects, but do not believe anyone. Simply collect all information and know how to compile it correctly to find out the truth.

sometimes friends can plunge us into the wrong coins so we have to do it all by ourselves and as much as possible if no one is beside then we can look for more in-depth information on several information media such as YouTube and others so that we can find out information on how to trade and can participate in a project correctly.

Anyone can fall for a scam, regardless of new person or old person, their target is everyone but newbies are more likely to fall into the trap. They don't do decent work because they feel fraud is their fastest way to get rich, or they enjoy seeing others be trapped.

Well, scammers are also taking some risk with their own money to scam you. Cheesy

But at the end of the day, they deceived you with some strategy and get what they wanted.Probably everyone claimed their UNI tokens so don't waste your time in finding and buying an ethereum address which maybe eligible for UNI.

No more Rekt and Bust

Lol, I have heard about this social engineering a few months ago. No one is able to spend the ETH due to the automated bots and there were more than 20 pending transactions once. Free money is on the mousetrap and newbies still prefer to ignore what they have learned before ICO scams. The solution is to ask ETH developers to delete the contract from the smart chain. ETH developers should stop these hunting games ASAP because the victims are more than yesterday every new day. Twitter scammers have started this method actively and victims are not aware of why they can't send the token from the address which they own private key.

Personally, I have no idea what people still fall into such traps. UNI didn’t require anything like that, they didn’t need your private keys and seed phrases. Everything was fair and transparent.

Scammers are smarter than those greedy individuals that is why we don't need to wonder why it goes like that and gets scammed.
Nobody knows that was a scam trap at first until someone will complain about it. But if you neglected to read their reviews and feedback it is likely will have some tips in regards to possible scamming activities.

It is just us who can assess it, easily fall into high rewards, you are also helping yourself to get scam. That is difficult when you are investing with a lack of knowledge.

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.

Aside from greed, those who got scammed have no enough knowledge about the market and if they see free money they believed on that without doubting, as if they can really get big profit without doing anything or by just sending ETH and they’ll get triple in return. Those ETH wallet are set up to scam people, I don’t want to get scammed so I wont try to use their private key even if there’s a token available.

If, under any pretext, you are offered to open any private information, then you have 100% scam.
Personally, I have no idea what people still fall into such traps. UNI didn’t require anything like that, they didn’t need your private keys and seed phrases. Everything was fair and transparent.

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.

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

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.

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'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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Last month was really a good period for Uniswap lover's when they were showered with $1400 worth of UNI (400 UNI) but it gave birth to rise of scammers on different platforms, Facebook cryptocurrency related channels in particular were so spammed, scammers were looking for victims to prey on.
The thing is, most of this scammers are lazy developers, they know how and when victims make moves. They designed their tactics and if you aren't careful, anyone can fall for their scams. They are very smart, knowledgeable people but stupid to use it in bad ways.

That is a classic trap i think. The hacker create some codes to set the smart contract on that address,
so that if there is any ETH coin sent there, it will immediately transfer to other address, which is on the hacker possession.

You should be careful with it and you can try to check the txs that happened in the address whether the received amount has already sent to the same wallet instantly. If that was happening and you should avoid such address. there were so many victims that have sent and they have tried to take the amounts that still available in the wallet but their ethereum was getting sending to the scammer's wallet instantly.

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.

This has been happened long time ago before 2017 when ERC20 was new. Some guy intentionally leaving there private key on bounty spreadsheet. At first glance, it looks a mistake on pasting ETH address because it was a common mistake on filling up bounty form that time. The address contains freeze contract ERC20 tokens with huge value in fiat. Then there's a smart contract setup with it so that tokens sent there will be automatically sent ou to the scammer wallet. Same as the method describe about OP.

This is the first time someone report this kind of scheme but it already happened long time ago.

If anyone offers such an offer and asks for an etherum or other altcoin deposit, just decline.

Newbies can easily fell for it, this type of trick will effectively attract any cryptos newcomer, scammers knew their targets once they throw this type of offer out, some people will be tempted to claim those tokens with some few amount of coin for a trial.
Its quite suspicious for somebody to reveal their private key publicly, if not the sake of scamming gullible ones.

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.

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.

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..
