🧠 How Address Poisoning Works
🔹 Hackers scan blockchain transactions using bots
🔹 You send funds to a real wallet
🔹 They generate a fake wallet with the SAME prefix & suffix
🔹 They send you 0 USDT or dust tokens
🔹 That fake address appears on top of your history
🔹 Next time, you copy it by mistake — and lose your money

❗ Why This Scam Is So Effective
• Humans focus only on start & end characters
• Wallets hide the middle of addresses on mobile
• Fake and real wallets look identical at a glance
---
✅ How To Stay Safe
✔️ NEVER copy addresses from transaction history
✔️ Whitelist and save trusted wallets with nicknames
✔️ Always check middle characters
✔️ For big transfers — verify the full address
✔️ Don’t rush crypto transactions

⚠️ If you only check the last 4 digits before sending — you’re already at risk.
