A Tiny Transfer Could Be a Trap: Check the Full Wallet Address
Address-poisoning scams exploit your transaction history—not your private key.
An attacker sends a tiny transfer from a lookalike wallet address, hoping it appears beside a real contact so you later copy the wrong one. Binance Academy recommends checking the full address, using a saved address book or allowlist, and sending a small test transfer before a larger payment. A familiar first-and-last few characters are not enough; on-chain transfers are generally irreversible, and recovery is rare. Will you check every character before your next transfer?
