How Does Crypto Address Poisoning Work and How Can You Stay Safe When Making Transactions?
Crypto address poisoning is a scam where attackers create wallet addresses that look almost identical to addresses you regularly use.
They then send a tiny or zero value transaction to your wallet, hoping you’ll later copy the fake address from your transaction history and send your funds to them.
How to stay safe
✅ Always verify the full wallet address before sending
✅ Never blindly copy an address from recent transactions
✅ Use an Address Book Allowlist for trusted addresses
✅ Send a small test transaction before large transfers
✅ Be cautious of unexpected dust or zero value transactions
✅ For large amounts, confirm the address through a trusted channel
Remember
blockchain transactions are generally irreversible.
Don’t trust an address just because it looks familiar. Stop. Verify. Then Send.
