This is why scammers keep increasing in numbers

[lovesmayfamilis]

Questions arise that demand explanation: how do such careless people end up with millions in their wallets? I always assumed that someone with such a sum couldn't possibly be unaware of the security of using and handling wallets and their devices, let alone owning a hardware wallet. It's likely that this money wasn't obtained through hard work, as anyone who understands the amount would have double-checked their data a thousand times.

Losing money to scammer is extremely painful and what you have described is typical tric. These scammers make up fake addresses that appear nearly same as yours and trick people who only look at first and last few characters of their address before sending them. To avoid this, Hardware Wallet is best solution since it has its own physical screen that shows real address and it is impossible to be fooled by computer virus. Although it is risk to lose money in market trades but it is security error to lose all money in scam that can be stopped with help of right tools such as QR codes and physical checking. Carrying big sum of money in regular phone or regular computer is just too risky and only way to be sure that we are safe is to do something with better hardware.

This can actually happen when you get a clipboard malware too which is inline with your claim but for it to imitate this particular case, then it has to be specifically designed to attack the particular victim and not just generic manipulation by replacement.

Reason why I double check every damn transaction before initiating it, stressful but necessary, because if I end up sending bitcoin to a wrong wallet and is given the chance to check and reconfirm all the characters of the address in order to recover it back, I sure wouldn’t mind, so why wouldn’t I go through the stress of doing it in the first place so I can avoid making such a mistake. Prevention they say is way better than seeking a cure.

Being careless does not mean you cannot make millisss … It only takes one act of carelessness to lose a little, a large part, or even everything. That said, being careful does not make someone immune eithe..even the most careful person can still end up in such situations at times.

Like I said, it takes just one mistake. Someone could be careful their entire life, but a single error on one day could ruin everything. The difference is just that the chances of this happening are much slimmer compared to someone who is always careless.

That's precisely why insurance exists, to anticipate certain dangerous situations. In this case, there was a lack of caution; it was a careless oversight. People who own millions owe it to themselves to anticipate every possible situation, from preventing hacking, attacks, and storage. Accidents happen, but when examined closely, they're usually the fault of the crypto owners.

We can be very careful and cautious when we want to make a transaction. But sometimes certain situations make us ignore our caution. You might overlook your caution when you want to make a transaction while you are in a hurry, or when time is very pressing and forces you to do it very quickly. Moments like these are what scammers take advantage of. So it's not surprising that, in fact, among the victims of scammers, there are also those who are not actually new to this.

A lot of crypto users have fall victim to this wrong address copy and paste without cross check if the address is correct or not before sending coins to another address. I have not experience such thing and I will never experience such thing, because am not in a hurry to send coins without check the coin alphabet and the last number or last alphabet because it will make me know if there is a mistake on the address or no mistake before I will press send.

There are many wallets in the internet these days, and some are created by scammers for some users to fall victim to such scam, because they know that once someone send coins to another wallet address the sender cannot reverse it back apart from the owner of the wallet address that can reverse the coins to the sender but some fake wallet can display such mistake to their users to make them lose their coins to wrong address.

Accuracy is crucial in crypto transactions, as errors during transfer cannot be undone especially if you're sending to a fraudulent wallet whose wallet is nearly identical. In the crypto world the risks aren't just fluctuating prices and wallet security but also the transaction itself which requires serious attention to detail.

Copying and pasting a wallet is certainly easier and less complicated but it's always a good idea to double check the destination wallet before copying. It's better to waste 10 minutes checking your wallet repeatedly than to lose your assets due to a misdirected transfer. Cases like these should serve as a lesson to all of us that crypto fraud is rife and diverse in its pursuit of victims. However careful and vigilant handling can help you avoid becoming a victim or making mistakes during transactions.

No matter the kind of wallet we use, we really need to develop the habit of cross-checking the wallet address. Even if we use a hardware wallet for investing in Bitcoin, it doesn't mean one has nothing to do with a custodial wallet, which will be needed for trading.

If that consciousness is not there to check the wallet address, it is possible to copy an incorrect address, and you may end up sending your coins to a scammer. The reason why we often fall for scammers is that we don't give our attention and consciousness to ensure that things are being done in the right way.

This is not a common attacks nowadays this is the reason why not just only one or two checking the bitcoin address and such like related into this topic of How to lose your Bitcoins with CTRL-C CTRL-V better take time to read. Personally im not a fan of large sum sending of funds into a single address for me its good to cut those funds into different portions so the funds arent just a single pot to lose. If ever there's a mistake on the next coming transaction it does not catered all of the losses to my wallet. This could be an expensive mistake happens but for sure they knew the lesson here to also consider make your devices safe.

You are quite correct checking your wallet address is one of most important rules since once transaction of crypto is sent, it cannot be undone. You have to watch out even with secure hardware wallet because you have to watch out for viruses that can change address that was copied to address of scammer moment you paste address. That is why it is vital to make habit of looking at first to make sure that they are same. You must always be on lookout to avoid fake websites and errors whether you are trading with personal wallet or bank like exchange wallet. So, being safe does not mean having good tools but being careful enough to take your time and read everything before clicking send.

Then it is a wake-up call to avoid making transactions at a moment you are in a hurry and will not bother at taking caution to check and confirm the address if it is the correct address you have been using or there is any discrepancy. Scam can happen unannounced and it could be when you did not imagine it cause of the emergency situation that distracted you from double checking.

You can't just rebuke losses like this, you need to take actions to avoid them.

Wallet address poisoning has been  strategic way scammers had wrecked crypto users. They don't have need to invade your device and privacy.
It's a social engineering attack that tricks users from sending funds instead to the required wallet but to a phishing one that's being projected by the scammers. So the victim unknowingly copies the poison address due to familiarity of both wallets and once target isn't careful enough, definitely will always loose their funds like that of this victim.
To repel this is best not to copy wallet address from transaction histories because that's where the scammers usually manipulates the original and fake addresses.

One thing about most people is that they don't really care to monitor their transactions especially when they copy their address and paste it, they wouldn't be that careful to recheck their address that is correct or not they would just send out huge payments to the address they just pasted on their wallet to make payment. It's very advisable to avoid sending out huge payments once without taking precautions and not of the address they are sending out their funds or paying to.

Checking multiple times on the wallet on where we want to send our funds is so important due to lots of issues need to consider. That clipboard malwares is need to avoid and people will fall into that if they missed to verify each wallet they are grabbing. If it happens that they fall from this schemes expect the money is totally lose since they cannot recover their funds anymore.

For big amounts, transact using small amount first before proceeding to big transaction to make sure everything is good and with this they can also check if the receiver gets the funds sent to their wallet.
