Never use the most recent transaction address for transfers just to save time. Poisoning and phishing scams have become rampant, and any of us could fall into the trap. These scammers' methods are particularly cunning—they usually keep the last few characters of the address unchanged, which can easily deceive the naked eye, but the middle part has been swapped out. As a result, if you're not careful, your assets could be directly sent to a hacker’s wallet. I’ve personally fallen victim to this, encountering fake addresses multiple times. Fortunately, I developed the habit of verifying each character individually, which helped me avoid greater losses. Honestly, if I hadn’t checked carefully at the time, the damage could have been immeasurable. I recommend everyone to thoroughly verify the recipient address every time you transfer, especially for cross-chain or large transactions. Don’t find it troublesome—this habit could save you.

Oh no, you really have to be careful with this. I almost fell for it myself earlier.

This technique is really clever. The middle segment swap is so seamless that you can't react in time. I almost fell for it before, but luckily I developed the habit of copying, pasting, and then double-checking.
