Scammers are using a new trick: sending tiny real transactions to "poison" addresses, tricking victims into sending large sums to the wrong address.

This sophisticated "address poisoning" attack has already stolen $47,600 and targets Ethereum users specifically.

Be vigilant and double-check every address before sending crypto!

Crypto users beware!!
