Before transferring 50M $USDT , the victim first sent 50 $USDT to their address 0xbaf4b1aF...B6495F8b5 for testing.
The scammer immediately forged a wallet with the same first and last 4 characters and conducted an attack based on address poisoning.
Since many wallets obscure the middle part of the address with "...", users often copy the address from transaction history and only check the starting and ending characters.
