METAMASK JUST LAUNCHED A $7.2B SCAM SPEED BUMP đšđđĄïž
In crypto, transactions are permanent. There are zero chargebacks or refunds once confirmed on-chain. That finality helped romance and fake investment schemes drain over $7.2B in 2025 alone. âïžđ
Scammers build weeks of trust on social media, show fake trading profits, and coach victims to transfer funds. Because you send willingly, standard code scanners see zero malicious scripts. đ±â ïž
MetaMask and Blockaid now trigger an active speed bump before you hit send. On flagged scam addresses, MetaMask halts with three reality checks:
đč Have you met this person face to face?
đž Were you promised guaranteed returns?
đș Are you being rushed right now?
Clicking Cancel aborts the transfer instantly. MetaMask is self-custodial so you can still proceed, but this pause shatters the scammer's psychological trance right before funds leave your wallet. đđ
have you ever had a stranger pitch you an investment? đ
