Slow Mist issued a reminder that new forms of phishing and encryption scams are currently emerging.
This type of scam usually occurs in chat applications such as Telegram, and usually starts as an "over-the-counter transaction". The scammer will ask the victim to transfer a small amount of funds, such as 0.1 USDT, to verify whether his address is risky. The scammer then sends a so-called "public chain" receiving address (actually a phishing URL) and emphasizes that the address must be entered in the wallet browser to proceed with the transaction. Once the victim enters this "public chain" address into the browser and authorizes it, the assets in his account will be stolen.
