unfortunately it's really easy to fall victim to such a scam also because any user will think... that it will ever be risking a few dollars when I can receive such big amount?
in general, rule of thumb, when an opportunity seems too good to be true, it's simply a scam / rip off, there are never any surprises about it.
it would be enough to look up the address online and find out that it is a scam but people are not using search engine to avoid scams
50 new transactions in the last 24 hours. There are also fraudulent transactions, but this tells us that users do not even want to do a little investigation. The wallet constantly receives new payments and this does not stop anyone from thinking about what is happening. in general, rule of thumb, when an opportunity seems too good to be true, it's simply a scam / rip off, there are never any surprises about it.

I do not [quite] understand what is happening here. It appears that there are actually two scammers involved: The scammer with the "free tokens", and Tether that blocks the USDT from being moved anywhere.
How Tether's blocking can defraud users is quite clear to me, but how exactly are you going to get robbed if you attempt to swipe the tokens?
There are already more than 10,500 transactions on this wallet. If you take a few cents or dollars from each user, then the fraudster will have a solid capital.How Tether's blocking can defraud users is quite clear to me, but how exactly are you going to get robbed if you attempt to swipe the tokens?
But here the user does not even have a chance, because the USDT tokens are blocked. The user won't lose a lot of money and won't make a lot of noise.
They still want to rob this address, but users do not know that this is a useless exercise.
No matter how much you remind people about fraud, the thirst for free money still wins.

I also have the same question as is there no one in the world who is more smarter than the scammer ? Who can beat this code and get the free 170,000$ sitting in this address. The public address is known to all, the whole world does not have any clue of how can they withdraw this money or even swap it with some other token.
I am sure people must be working on it and some genius may able to withdraw this money one day.

No, that is not possible. The tokens are locked because they are associated with a hack. Tether smart contract has a blacklist flag that can be activated by the Tether, this prevents on-chain transfers. So, if a token is on the blacklist, it cannot be transferred and whoever controls the private key cannot move them. Therefore, scammers use this address to exploit greedy people to steal their money.

An ethereum coin transaction costs much less than a token transaction, so the fraudster's transaction will have a higher priority
Even if you are the owner of the mining pool, and you can fool the scammer, the tokens will remain on the wallet.

This is probably the best expose I've read if you don't know this, you'll just jump into it and tried to withdraw the amount we are all greedy and if we are ignorant of this scheme you will be one of those who'll get in the list of a failed transactions.
I checked on the transactions and the number is still growing, we have to make our friends and all we know who are involved in Cryptocurrency to be aware of this, we must spread the word because this is something new and there are many gullible and ignorant on the community.
I think that there is a programmer who can write code to perform two operations in one transaction. If it's possible in the tron ecosystem. In the Ethereum ecosystem, this can be done.Therefore, the amount of stablecoins on the wallet is small.
There's a complexity to this scheme if you are not aware of it even if you are a long time trader you can easily fall for it, greed is inherent in us if it is offered in a way that makes us look at it that there is nothing wrong on claiming coins on that wallet, and we are not aware of it you can proceed claiming it, there will be more of this scheme like this in the future I'm anticipating more coming in, so it's better to make this viral in the community for awareness.

It's only a greedy user who could likely fall into prey, I don't even expect any experience user to or reputable user from this forum to fall victim. It obviously that it has been set as a trap for user fall into it whereby gas can be spent but token can not be transferred out from the wallet. Sometimes few years ago I have experience similar situations though then was a very though one.
I'm not fully aware of this scheme but checking the address we see that there are many pending transactions, many are falling to this and many are not aware of this scheme, we cannot control people's greed, especially those who are not aware of this, even those who are trading for many years but noobs on this scheme will likely fall to this, greediness is making us lose our common sense.

So yes many runs same method for the same wallet
Your question is on point. The one who could get the coins could be the one with fastest internet connection on the server he runs the node at or the one with higher gas fee.

This scam used to be very popular during the ICO and airdrop boom. It's known as the Token Honey Pot scam. Well it looks like it's here to stay since people are still too stupid and greedy
Well, we still have people believing and sending random Chinese girls on Tinder thousands of dollars to invest for them or folks sending Bitcoin to a bitcoin doubler hoping they magically get back x2 Bitcoins in minutes, so it's not a surprise.
The fact that someone still regularly sends Ether to that address baffles me. Does anyone really think someone will make their private address public by accident and forget that they have $170,000 worth of tokens in there? I guess greed knows no bounds.

Be aware of this scam and don't be a victim of it.
I've actually been a victim to this type of scam before, but that was a long time ago, like five or four years ago maybe,i was still pretty new to crypto at the time , when I saw the message on telegram, it was in a group chat, the girl claimed she has issues with her wallet and cannot transfer funds out, then pasted her private key and said if anybody can help her check, she would appreciate it, I actually knew it was a scam since there was no eth in the wallet to pay for gas to transfer the token, but still , I went ahead and tried, I sent the amount of ETH required to cover the transaction fee, and not up to two seconds my eth transaction got confirmed, it turned into another pending transaction waiting to be confirmed, which means the eth has been sent out.I didn't bother much because the eth i sent was really very small, but then, alot of other persons fell for the trick too, by the time i stopped checking the wallet, she already got about 0.103 eth.
I do not [quite] understand what is happening here. It appears that there are actually two scammers involved: The scammer with the "free tokens", and Tether that blocks the USDT from being moved anywhere.
How Tether's blocking can defraud users is quite clear to me, but how exactly are you going to get robbed if you attempt to swipe the tokens?
Let me explain you. Look at the address, there is no gas fee at the moment. Say scammer contact you and try to convince send him a small gas fee. But you weren't convinced since you know this type of scam happening. So scammer will try to convince give you a private key and check your balance. So when you log in with the private key you will see USDT there. Or sometimes scammer forwards private key through Telegram where have balance. When you will see a balance in your wallet then definitely you will try to help him or withdraw funds. For that, you need a gas fee. Once you will transfer the gas fee, the address automatically will transfer the funds to another scammer's wallet. This means scammers set up the software to move funds from that address once detected a new transaction. That's how scammer scam. Hope you understand now. How Tether's blocking can defraud users is quite clear to me, but how exactly are you going to get robbed if you attempt to swipe the tokens?

I'm receiving these kind of messages from different users in twitter and all most of them were hot chick expecting i will be lured by their profile and this kind of too good to be true offers lol.
Like, if you think about it, you will have full control of the funds since you have access of the private key and you can get all of those coins instead. Like if this is legit the chance of them recovering those coins is near zero since they don't know these random people online where they asked for help.

I fell on this scam before, not sure if it's the same account but I was really tempted as I'm thinking it was free money, so I send some ETH for the gas in order to withdraw the funds but the ETH that was supposed to be for gas was redirected to other address leaving the account still no ETH for gas.
In short, I was tricked, LOL.
In short, I was tricked, LOL.
A large number of these "victims" were probably straight up trying to steal someone else's funds but did not know an uno reverse card was waiting for them lol. Can't say they have my sympathy.
Because the gas/miner/network fee in this case is ETH.
As explained by @/Hispo, there would be no ETH available in the address, hence the victims would send some from their own wallet. Before they can attempt to move the immovable USDTs, the perp has already broadcasted the ETHs to be sent out with a high gas fee.

Can someone believe this scam with large sums in the wallet?
I can believe it if it was a social attack from a friend with a wallet that had a 100 dollar or a little more but not thousands of dollars.
USDT and blocking tokens inside wallet is the big trojan horse in crypto community.

For me, number one rule of thumb for not getting scammed, whether online or offline is never expect to reap where you didn't sow. That's my financial guide besides never getting greedy. That which you shared here has been on for a long time now, especially on telegram. The first time I saw someone plastered their passphrase on a telegram group I knew that person wasn't that dumb doing that. It was a bait. I didn't even contemplate checking out the wallet transactions. I just continued reading other stuff. Those who fall for this type of setup have the tendency of scamming others. If not, why would anyone be quick to take advantage of a seemingly ignorant user.
The fact that someone still regularly sends Ether to that address baffles me. Does anyone really think someone will make their private address public by accident and forget that they have $170,000 worth of tokens in there? I guess greed knows no bounds.
Some are so naive, believing that such an amount can be quickly received, and it is they who will receive it. Greed does not allow you to turn on the logic. And as @m2017 said, many hands itch to try. This is the most common passion. The scammers are betting on him.
How many people win big sums in the casino? However, the flow of those who try their luck does not decrease.
The fact that someone still regularly sends Ether to that address baffles me. Does anyone really think someone will make their private address public by accident and forget that they have $170,000 worth of tokens in there? I guess greed knows no bounds.
How and why does the scammer's program affect the ethereum network or wallet (Not sure if I phrased it correctly)? Why can't change the settings and priority of a transaction in a wallet?
The scammer has a program set up that automatically detects when the address receives ETH and withdraws the ETH to another address out of your control.
The thousands of dollars in tokens the scammer has in the wallet (which private keys they revealed) are just a bait to tempt anyone to send some USD in ETH to pay the gas, but since the scammer set up a program there is no chance anyone can do the transaction faster than the program.
Also, as mentioned, it seems the tokens are locked by Tether, according to the block explorer.
Until you published this post, I did not know about the existence of this address and I had no thoughts to check it. But now, my hands are itching to check it out. Why did you post this here? 
Of course, I will not check anything, because zasad@ warned of the danger and in this case, I will have to pacify my curiosity.
For me, in this story, the implementation remains unclear, although I am not technically strong. How and why does the scammer's program affect the ethereum network or wallet (Not sure if I phrased it correctly)? Why can't change the settings and priority of a transaction in a wallet?

This is as exactly as not been careful enough when we see things that are beyond what ordinary eye could ser or mind to believe, the scammer get their means always improved from the former, they rralise the important if information that when it is lacked then they can take that as a point to fast track their scam enterprise, one must stay at alert, no free coin fromba thin of an air when you don't work to earn it, its rather a scam deception.

Yeah, I encounter this same issue on one of my telegram that I’m moderating. He is asking for help in public telegram group however he is disguising as newbie that suddenly mistaken to post his seed phrase on the chat as if he is asking a help to access on wallet funds. But the catch is you can’t move the balance out of it because of the frozen fund but not USDT in my case. When I check carefully the blockchain records for that specific address, I saw that all transactions that attempt to withdraw the balance fails while all Ethereum that sent to the wallet was automatically sent on a specific wallet.
I encounter this few ago but I first saw this kind of scam trick was during 2018 when time that hacker purposely put private key instead of wallet address on bounty campaign spreadsheet.
