If you think you are smart well think again
After UNI Airdrops many starts looking for people's Private keys and recovery seeds using search engines and data engines like 4shared and others but guess what?
Some smart scammers are out there willingly exposing their private keys and recovery seed so that greedy people can scan through them, here is what the scammers have in store
The scammers leave good valuable tokens on the wallet and set the wallet to automatically send out any deposited Ethereum, the greed people will want to deposit eth to quickly move out the tokens to exchanges but its a smart trap, once the eth landed on the wallet address it automatically send out to another Ethereum address...
How did I know this? I know someone who fell for this, luckily he only deposit 20$ worth of Ethereum..

Bruh it's an old method nothing new at all.
The address has been set up with smart contract, they will leave some token with a huge value and share the private key so everyone who found it will try to send some ethereum for gas transfer the token. When the fund arrived will immediately send to another address, its really a old method and pretty simple to recognize just by watching the transaction of that address.
It's will really weird when the private key already expose and there has some receive transaction ethereum but the token not moved at all when the eth send to another same adress.

This idea is unique and I have never heard of this before and it shows how the technology works beyond even hackers and scammers knowledge as well so it is definitely scary, however this feels like a deserved act as well.
I mean if you are out there looking to steal from other people, I would say that there is a big chance you deserve to get your money stolen as well, so that is why I think it is not as bad as you might imagine it is, after all we are not really people who steal from others and if we try to steal from others it is only fair that others try to steal from us as well.
But, the idea that "if you think you are smart, there are smarter out there" works in every facet of life, it is not for crypto or scamming only, it could be for everything in life.

Lol power of smart contracts, personally i was not aware that we can automate or create processes inside our wallets too using smart contracts. I have heard some ico wallets do that but i always thought that team moves the raised eth to some other wallet everyday. I think we all need to learn more about how these contracts work so we can use them to automate our own wallets and make use of these features.

Greediness will truly lead you to disappointment and losing money.
If those people searching for private keys online think rightly, then everyone has thought of it became rich already. But it's not like that, it's fishy to see "free" money online just because they've searched for it.
These scammers are using the weakness of these people, using their greediness for their benefit.

This has been around for a long time even before uniswap I think. So UNI has nothing to do with this. It is true that this is a scammer's way of tricking someone who is greedy without thinking long and maybe until now there are still many people who are deceived in the same way. Be careful

This is an old trick but some people might be asked about it. I think that the scammer has been putting the function to make any ethereum that being deposited into the address will be automatically sent to the destination address that already saved by the scammer as a destination address.
This function can also be used to transfer the erc20 tokens that have come to the address automatically to the destination address too. It looks like it's a beneficiary function. I'm thinking about the scammer was modifying the beneficiary function and that's worked.

How did I know this? I know someone who fell for this, luckily he only deposit 20$ worth of Ethereum..
Then that someone you know is greedy. If only people will think not once, not twice but thrice, no deposit should be made. And to think that person deposit $20, then it shows that he is making a test as he was also expecting something good in return if ever the exchange will be successful. Too much greediness that will spend time searching for an exposed private key.

greed causes self-forgetfulness and loss. Know that stupid people won't share private keys because too many people are smarter. smart people will share private keys because there are still enough stupid people. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F2d%2F40%2Ff9%2F2d40f94d03cb09a8c82be685c90395ee.png&t=665&c=aQdAhR1XucaDRg)

I am also worried about it especially newbie who is hungry for information and also wants to quickly get money from crypto. usually will be very gullible, I was like that the first time. but never lose, just spend time playing dice which is actually a scam.
If anyone offers such an offer and asks for an etherum or other altcoin deposit, just decline.
Newbies can easily fell for it, this type of trick will effectively attract any cryptos newcomer, scammers knew their targets once they throw this type of offer out, some people will be tempted to claim those tokens with some few amount of coin for a trial. Its quite suspicious for somebody to reveal their private key publicly, if not the sake of scamming gullible ones.

Indeed, there are many more smarter people out there who are much more thoughtful and could walk on one's ignorance. To be on the safe side, it's best never to attempt stealing from others and if you really want some thing, don't go through the easy way, rather work hard to earn what you own.

This has been happened long time ago before 2017 when ERC20 was new. Some guy intentionally leaving there private key on bounty spreadsheet. At first glance, it looks a mistake on pasting ETH address because it was a common mistake on filling up bounty form that time. The address contains freeze contract ERC20 tokens with huge value in fiat. Then there's a smart contract setup with it so that tokens sent there will be automatically sent ou to the scammer wallet. Same as the method describe about OP. This is the first time someone report this kind of scheme but it already happened long time ago.

You should be careful with it and you can try to check the txs that happened in the address whether the received amount has already sent to the same wallet instantly. If that was happening and you should avoid such address. there were so many victims that have sent and they have tried to take the amounts that still available in the wallet but their ethereum was getting sending to the scammer's wallet instantly.

That is really true that every scammer is always one or even two steps ahead of those who think they are smarter that those con artists. The idea of this scammers is very broad and very systematic in terms of getting advantage of those who are too greedy as well that is why you really don't get be fooled by some opportunities that will lead to on getting fraud and scam.

Well, As I noticed after the UNISWAP happened the scammers became rampant in different social media's platform. They used UNISWAP as front to make their coins become potentials in the eyes of the community, where in the end most of the time they turned into scam project. In short they took advantage of UNISWAP to scam others.

Lol this is what I called the hunter became the hunted, the aim of the person that finds or look for someone's private key or recovery seed is to steal but not knowing what awaits them, this type of people are not just greedy, they are cheaters and scammers themselves, why would you start looking for someone's key in the first place?

Basically right, that a person should not be arrogant based on his own intellect because there are others who are more intelligent and can do bypassing in another person’s ignorance. To be on the safe side, it is better to be real and focus on your own growth because if you really want something to achieved do not go through the easy way, instead strive using your own ability.

damn thats a smart move there. i didnt knew that those things are possible , the one that people search for private keys online but who are those people that will store private keys online at the first place ? thinking those things wont make me try to attempt to search for a private key because i knew that i will never find one . if there are ,there could still be passwords unless you are a pro hacker that can crack easy passwords but worst thing can still happen next because you wont know that theres also another hacker waiting for you to get in his trap .

Not you? LOL JK To be honest, this is the first time I hear about this auto-send method, but even if I somehow knew some private keys with lots of worthy tokens inside, I wouldn't just send ETH without doing any research. "There is no free lunch" is a phrase that will keep echoing eternally. Try to be more skeptical guys!

That is a classic trap i think. The hacker create some codes to set the smart contract on that address, so that if there is any ETH coin sent there, it will immediately transfer to other address, which is on the hacker possession. Just be careful when we find something too good to be true, it could be a trap.
