🙁 The story of a "kind-hearted" scammer…


Some poor soul gifted the scammer 126,000 TON ($220k) by copying the scammer’s wallet address from the transaction history.
An unexpected turn: The scammer returned 116,000 TON ($203k), keeping a "modest" 10,000 TON ($17k). And even wrote in the transaction: “Sorry, that’s too much. I know you earned this money honestly.”
The scheme has been known for a long time; this type of attack is called “address poisoning”: the scammer creates an address with the same first and last characters as the target wallet and sends a small amount to it so that the address appears in the victim’s transaction history. No hacking involved—just the victim’s vigilance versus the scammer’s patience.
