Bitrace has issued a warning regarding a new cryptocurrency scam that utilizes QR codes to deceive users into authorizing wallets, resulting in the theft of $120,000 in USDT from 27 victims. The scam entices traders with over-the-counter trades and rewards in Tron (TRX), making a small USDT payment to build trust. However, Bitrace found that the scam involves theft through a payment QR code transfer test, tricking users into authorizing wallets. When tested with an empty wallet, clicking "Confirm" directed users to a third-party website, leading to wallet authorization theft. The alleged fraudsters scammed 27 victims out of $120,000 worth of USDT between July 11 and July 17, 2024. Bitrace advises investors to conduct a risk check on the counterparty's address before engaging in transactions. Source: Bitrace/X.
