Scammers use fake USDT balances to defraud cryptocurrency users
SlowMist has partnered with Imtoken to uncover a new cryptocurrency scam that uses offline transactions and USDT. Scammers manipulate the Ethereum RPC to falsify the USDT balance in the victim's wallet. The scammer lures the victim to change their Ethereum RPC URL to a URL controlled by them, making it appear that the victim has deposited USDT funds, but in reality, the victim is left empty-handed when attempting to trade. In addition, the scam also deceives users through small transfers to gain trust, then manipulates account balances and contract information, posing serious risks to unsuspecting users and is related to a wider range of pig slaughter scam activities.
