One tiny address mistake just cost someone $2M😰.
This is exactly why you should never blindly copy a wallet address from your transaction history. Wallet 0x7Ba7f4773fa7890BaD57879F0a1Faa0eDffB3520 was trying to send funds to:
Correct address:
0xF0e67A1896E814E30c011e36174de28CAA9Ab1aF
But instead, the funds were sent to this scammer address:
Wrong address:
0xF0e6A49668dE1195B931A3717c9cc36fc19721aF
And here’s what makes it scary ... both addresses have the same first 6 characters and last 3 characters.
Around $2M was lost because of this one mistake.
The funds then moved through a few more addresses:
1. USDC was received by the scammer address
2. Sent to 0x692729bCd0887b8D02B8fF3169220bA0F4e17251
3. Converted to DAI through CoW Protocol
4. The entire DAI balance was then sent to 0xe2eBfD6f329A6330aB7EEE68ce1328C21d31816a
