Many practitioners like to put money into their wallets. They may also unintentionally click on some links, only to find that the assets in their wallets have disappeared. They don't know how or when the money was lost.
Today, I will reveal an industry chain of theft in the digital currency world
Let's take $100,000 as an example, which is equivalent to 100,000 USDT, commonly referred to as 100K U.
This amount of money would take about 10 minutes to deposit in a bank, but if you click on a scammer's link, this money will no longer be yours in just one second.
We'll set aside whether virtual assets are a Ponzi scheme.
But as long as you have digital assets, they are part of your assets!
And due to the special nature of the industry today, there is insufficient regulatory strength, so fraud and theft of digital currency are very prevalent, even forming an industry chain.
Let me talk about the most popular method in the crypto circle: QR code payments
Nowadays, there are many virtual services and products that can be paid for with USDT, just like using WeChat and Alipay for online payments.
Usually, a USDT QR code is generated for payment, and you must be careful when using a USDT QR code to make payments.
As an investor, it is often difficult to distinguish between a QR code for stealing USDT and a genuine payment QR code.
If you scan a genuine payment QR code, a blockchain link will usually appear, which is a digital code, often the wallet address for receiving money, and you can transfer directly.
However, a QR code for stealing USDT cannot be processed in the usual scanning manner; it generally requires a third-party redirect to be recognized.
When scanning, don't think it's too complicated; any link that requires a third-party redirect should be treated as a scam.
Also, be aware that codes requiring third-party redirects are fake, and the interface may display terms like "interaction" or "contract." If you click on it, the money in your wallet will no longer be yours.
So just remember, any code that requires a third-party redirect, as well as terms like "contract" or "interaction," is definitely fake, and you must not be deceived!
If you are interested, like, follow, and comment: I want to see phishing, and next time I will show you a video of the process using real and fake QR codes for payment!
So when making payments, remember the following points:
1. Do not scan any QR codes that require a third-party redirect;
2. Pay close attention to the payment details, check if there are any terms like "contract," and if there are, exit quickly and do not confirm the payment;
3. Only use QR codes from major platforms or cold wallets, which only show the wallet address and nothing else when scanned;
4. Do not make payments through QR codes; instead, use the wallet address directly to minimize potential losses.
Besides mainstream authorized QR codes for stealing digital currency, there are also other phishing websites, files, and fake wallets!
