A victim lost $510,294 due to copying the wrong address from transaction history! Victim: 0x0d534863a71d5e68d5c919a4c2ef47c3a7a792c0 Fake address: 0x4049Ebf479Fa49924e120490d119f0827cAa9aeC Legitimate address: 0x40491fe2bA81621475c894Ebe8bcad56C7da9aec How transaction history poisoning works: 1. Scammer sends fake/dust transfer with similar address; 2. Their fake address appears in your history; 3. You copy address from history thinking it's legitimate; 4. Funds get sent to scammer instead. How to stay protected: 1. Always double-check the addresses you're sending funds to; 2. Never copy addresses from transaction histories; 3. Use a wallet that supports whitelisting or bookmarks.

Please don't send large sum of money in one transaction. Always send $1 / $2 and see if it reaches the destination. Pay attention to simulation in Metamask. If not wait, seriously wait.

Small amount first for transaction always works for me, onchain and online transaction both.

This is happening way too often lately. Need more wallets to implement built-in protections against this. Or if wallets had better detection for this. Maybe a ‘warning: similar address detected’ prompt?
