What I do to check the entire address string is I copy and paste both into Word, one above the other in the same font, which then makes it much easier to quickly see any difference.
Every time you send/receive: 1) Copy and Paste into a spreadsheet twice 2) Compare 3) Repeat the first two steps 4) Copy from the spreadsheet into the target 5) Copy from target to spreadsheet 6) Compare again 7) If fine, proceed with transaction. It takes less than 30 seconds.
notepad is your friend :)
This process is safer if you know the send address is valid but it would not have prevented the scam in this video because the send address was the scammer’s send address. All you would be doing is confirming that the scammer’s address is correct)
Did you miss the gap between the initial test-send and the actual send? You send a small amount to the intended address, to have it confirmed. Then you copy-past-review and test that per the above procedure. Always have the copy of the confirmed address on you spreadsheet or notebook. Do not go copying another instance of it. @@NotMe-wh5vb
Agreed. Does NOT STOP scammers. Ive lost over 1.938MILLION to these scum scammers
Bigger questions how to put scammers, identify them world wide , and RECOVER funds ?? Like my crypto brothers an sisters there is no scammer databases for fbi cia law enforcement?? Come on WE NEED TO MATURE
Toby's laughter in the background is awesome :D :D
Yea love the humour and lightness you bring crypto news😂
That's actually a crypto scam I was glad to hear about. First time ever siding with the scammers.
Lovely lady, great advice for all of us. Cheers from Syracuse, Bob
Criminals robbing criminals robbing criminals.
Love it.
and that's why wallets need to automatically label addresses you interact with
Good warning and advice, thanks, but how do you generate a crypto wallet address and specify the characters?
as a son of my father who had been picking on the most tiny mistake to yell at me for almost 30 years, I suddenly feel blessed to have such a father when I hear your news
Aren't all sons, sons of a father?
@@JohnnyLudlow oh, grammar police! any scammer get this guy's crypto LOL
@@oliverli9630 😂 LOL to both of you!
This is why whitelisting your address is a must to avoid address poisoning.
I love watching you get excited while sharing the news, thanks for always keeping us informed also toby's laugh in the background was PERFECT 😂
I've checked the first and last four or five digits, yes, but I always randomly choose two or three portions of 4 or 5 digits within the LONG string which are easy to verify... Always.
Excellent Advice.
Must have been chilly this morning.
Why?
Wow.. this is a great heads up.. I am sure not many retail account holders know about this scamming method..thanks!!
Btc transactions protect against this if used correctly. Sending any other crypto, I now verify 5 digits in the middle as well...
love the background
The ingenuity of scammers never ceases to amaze. Also, love the locations you’ve been using!
Thats why Rabby is such a great wallet
Ty for this one
Great tip in this video. I really began paying attention at 3:34
Me to :)
Crypto tips 🤣🤣
Captivating video!
what happened to the burning boat? thank you for the tip... I'm def guilty of that and need to clean up my act.
Hi Toby,
In the end can you give some extra time of the background view.
Thank you
ADA Handle can fix this.
thats a nice trick, gotta try it some time.
I dun understand why a wallet address can be "customised". Why was this allowed by the codes?
Nice tip!
What still puzzles where me is the process:
Where did the Marshals pick up the poisoned address? That poisoned one would be a FROM address in this airdrop txn on Etherscan (or any good software).
I'm struggling with the same question!
The scammer created an imitation address.
Thanks for lookin' out. This is interesting
Would have never given this kind of thing a thought in a million years. Thanks!
I don't understand. How can one create a custom wallet address with matching beginning and ending digits. Aren't wallet addresses essentially randomly generated with near zero chance of duplication? Is it possible to create a custom address?
Brute force. Same way people generate address that has 0 bytes at the beginning for lower transaction fees
beautiful 🥂
That was very interesting and informative
Those scammers put the 'organized' in 'organized crime" 👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome 👌
So how do they create a wallet address? It just seems odd you can create an address mimicking another address!
I was going to write same comment! How they can do that ??
Yep. I had the same question. I think this is just an urban legend. If one could generate custom addresses, in this manner, there would be a significantly increase in the chance of a wallet collision and would essentially destroy all block chains. I call BS.
Oh that's slick
How would you create an address with specific characters at the beginning or end. I thought each address were randomly created.
I think that because they already knew beforehand which address they need to fake they could have run the address generator non-stop for weeks or months until it finally gave them account that has similar enough pubkey. But obviously don't know for sure.
@@vlogginggamingandcoding I was under the impression it happened all realtively quickly, sending a small test to a wallet, generating a similar address, air dropping from the newly generated address to the DEA.
But if there was a significant amount of time in there, this could be possible. Even a few hours just writing a loop that'll generate a similar address should be possible.
You can define the actual hash of a wallet address??
Still trying to get my head around how stupid this is. If I send 45 to a blank wallet of an agent, I would first see the transaction on etherscan of the address it went to. The receiver presumably would then call me to say they had received it. I then simply send the remaining amount to the same address as before. Ok so a scammer creates a blank wallet and deposits the same amount into it and then presumably sends that back to the dea. How then does the dea capture the scammers address to send to ? Perhaps I assume the dea clicked on the receive transaction of the 45 and then copied and pasted the senders address and sent the rest to that ? But that would be pretty dumb. It sounds like some major incompetence occurred there. People should never be copying and pasting addresses from transactions in their own transaction history.
Is it cold where you are?
Why would you ask about the weather on a crypto channel?
I bet it was someone on the inside. I doubt it was some random scammer.
👍 ❤
Awesome and Thank you.
I think crypto investment should be taken seriously
Very good advice. Quite a clever scam.
One of my wallets has 💯 been poisoned, but I double check everything and I never click on the history.
You can create your own address?
That's why you always copy the address every time
That’s what the DEA did; except they copied the address of that scammer sent.
@@CryptoTips you're supposed to copy the address from the place you're sending it to not from previous address in your wallet
Damn…. 😂
I always enjoy hearing the fed get served
I think I had to give my seed phrases to link my safemoon wallet to my trust walket :D
That's different. You're basically accessing the same wallet through a different wallet provider
genius
What a BABE!
if your still getting scammed in crypto in 2023 you should just quit.
True 😂😊
LMAOOO. BIG BRAIN
wth with ur eyebrows bro?
Are they still on???
Oh man this is hilarious
😂
Cryptoo 😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is hilarious... they didnt really break any laws did they... sending money to an address is all they did... lol... awesome, I hope they get away with it.
aahahahhahahahahahahahahahah
hahahahaha
CrypTiTs😂
Tell us your 10 years old without saying your 10 years old…
@@CryptoTips I couldn't help it😁
This whole story stinks to high heaven
Do you value crypto investment
Wouldn't it be easy to just calculate a hash of the address and display it in the wallet when performing the tx? it would really help to prevent this
Interesting 😎😎😎😎😎
