Learn from these common pitfalls｜Don’t take shortcuts by copying an old address when making a transfer
A typical trap is “address poisoning”: scammers add addresses with similar beginnings and endings to your transaction history, hoping you’ll copy the wrong one. This is a common example, not a personal account of a transaction.
Don’t check only the first and last few characters. Verify the full address and network through trusted channels. For important transfers, send a small test amount first, then confirm the recipient has received it. Saving ten seconds could cost you a long time in regret.
