With the popularity of Crypto Assets, USDT fraud cases are on the rise, some of which have increasingly sophisticated methods that are hard to guard against. Recently, a shocking eyewash has drawn widespread follow.



An investor shared his personal experience. The scammer first transferred him 2.9 real USDT, successfully establishing initial trust. Subsequently, the scammer transferred 3000 seemingly real but actually counterfeit USDT. These counterfeit tokens even complied with the TRC20 standard, looking indistinguishable from real USDT at first glance. However, the key difference lies in the different contract addresses.

This "first true then false" scam method is highly deceptive. The scammer reduces the victim's vigilance by making small real transfers, followed by large transfers of fake coins. If the contract address is not carefully checked, it is easy to fall into the trap.

To avoid becoming a victim, we need to keep the following points in mind:

1. The contract address of USDT on the TRON chain is unique; any USDT from other addresses is a forgery.
2. When performing any on-chain operations or transfers, be sure to carefully verify the contract address of the token.
3. Do not trust others easily, even if the other party has previously made a small genuine transfer.
4. Use reliable wallets and exchanges, which typically have built-in security mechanisms to identify eyewash.
5. Stay vigilant; if a transaction looks too enticing, it is likely eyewash.

As the Crypto Assets market continues to develop, the methods of fraud are also constantly upgrading. As investors, we must remain vigilant at all times and enhance our ability to identify. Only in this way can we navigate safely in this market filled with opportunities and risks.
