The rate of scam that has been happening in telegram seems to be increasing day by day and i was surprised with this strange strategy adopted by scammers so i decided to share it to prevent more people from falling victim. I recently stumbled across a post on a telegram group where a user claiming to be having difficulty withdrawing his funds of $270 USDT from his wallet to Binance and seeking for other people’s help to withdraw the funds.
This is an old tricks and I thought people have grown past this level. The operate this scam by draining the TRX of whoever attempt to transfer the USDT as fees. This is similar to the recent iron airdrop that they scam each of the people that attempt to swap the token about $12 in Matic.
This thread explains details about this fake airdrop.
I will continue to advice people to apply wisdom all the time. Anyone that have a way of earning USDT should be able to know how to send it, and it takes only someone greedy to fall for this scan.
Bro, their is nothing like old tricks when you actually don't know about it, because most crypto enthusiastic in this space are flawed, they actually don't know how to be safe from this scammers, it's mostly we that has the privilege of knowing about this kind of scamming strategy base on the fact that we have heard or gotten knowledge of this scamming strategy in this forum, most people are just hearing it for the very first time as you even mentioned it, so my brother, what you actually don't know, is always more difficult to combat.
My only advice to crypto enthusiastic is that they should know that scammers are getting surphisticated everyday , so the best way to fight it is to also get surphisticated with knowledge so as to know how to navigate your way safely in the crypto space without get caught of guard.
