Ethereum Has Become a Scammer's Paradise



Since the Fusaka upgrade on December 3, 2025 reduced transaction fees, USDT micro-transfers have surged 612%, with the vast majority being fraudulent transactions

Scammers generate "counterfeit addresses" (addresses highly similar to addresses commonly used by victims) and exploit zero-value or minimal-value transfers to make these fake addresses appear at the top of victims' transaction histories

When users make their next transfer and see familiar address characters at the beginning, they directly copy it, resulting in funds being sent to the scammer's wallet

Be sure to repeatedly verify transfer addresses!
