When you want to transfer money with one click, do you also habitually copy and paste the address directly?
But have you ever thought that even a small difference in a string of characters could instantly swallow your life savings?
Just recently, a cryptocurrency user experienced a nightmarish moment: 💸
He intended to transfer 50 dollars to a new address, but the scammer forged a fake wallet address that looked exactly the same at both ends! 😱
Because he only roughly checked the beginning and the end, he mistakenly transferred 50 million dollars into the scammer's pocket —
A single “copy and paste” oversight led to irreparable losses.
This story cruelly yet truthfully reminds us: blockchain transfers are irreversible, and every time you click send, it could be the last line of defense.
✨ How to avoid it?
✅ Thoroughly verify the address, every character, not just the beginning and the end
✅ Send a small test amount first, confirm receipt before transferring a large amount
✅ Use an address book to save commonly used addresses, reducing manual input
