If this is just an old way to scam you then better not to look at it, or ignore it because many says if you make transaction about that specific token, then your details will be corrupted and you’ll get hacked.

Those who do it know what they want to achieve and it is something that will not favour the wallet owner. I have noticed similar thing in my trust wallet and it used to scare me until I understood that since am not claiming the suspicious tokens nothing bad happens to my wallet. I have learned to just ignore it whenever I notice it nowadays. Criminals everywhere online seeking who to swallow.

This is why it's very important to copy the deposits address from the exchange deposit address section or other person's deposit address rather than rely on transaction history

Also, wallets like trust wallet should implement a feature where one can label transactions just like it is with electrum, This will help the would be victims from noticing that something is off when they attemtp to copy wallet addresses from the transaction history

Something like this

Obviously its not the address holders doing this transaction. Basically sent 0 USDT and 0 USDC to different addresses? Anyone know why this is happening?

Address Poisoning Attack, A continuing Threat
Is this possible even if you didn’t share any details about your wallet? I mean its more of a private wallet where you just hold your big money and no one knows about it. If this is just an old way to scam you then better not to look at it, or ignore it because many says if you make transaction about that specific token, then your details will be corrupted and you’ll get hacked.

Thanks for sharing this article, wans't aware of this new wave of scam : we can't even trust our own tx history anymore lol.
I often do things in rush even when using cryptos but this is yet another evidence we always must take the time of doublechecking everything when sending out coins.

This is not my address but its a similar transaction.

https://etherscan.io/address/0xf5e3bf94664763949ba3b1bd20436cd90de18d07#tokentxns

This individual sent 4000 USDT to 0x362e9b95907f88eafa33bb519c7046a32d3fb887

Then a few minutes later a 0 USDT transaction went to a similar address 0x361c73a3943094fba350f505f5506def77efb887

The last few characters are similar and first 2 are the same "0x36".

The transaction doing this is
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xa7d38a04485864e7c4481d8258f0cc9bea335bf38d61cfaa37ae8b6c0c8d72b9

Anyone know why they are doing this? Seems to be wasting fees. Is it just an etherscan bug?

I know that it didn't come out of my actual address because the next nonce doesn't include this transaction, which means it never came out of my wallet.
