Oh man, the scammers just never stop! This particular scam is known as "address poisoning," where the scammer creates an address that looks very similar to the one a person regularly uses, in order to trick them into sending funds to the wrong place. It's a very sneaky and effective tactic, unfortunately. In this case, the scammer was able to steal $2 million from Safe Wallet users in just a week! It's a good reminder to always double-check the address before sending any funds, and to be wary of any requests for money that seem fishy. 🚫
