⚠️Address Poisoning is a deceptive tactic where scammers exploit your transaction history.
They use bots to monitor the blockchain and generate a "vanity address" that mimics the first and last few characters of an address you frequently use.
By sending you a tiny or zero-value transaction, they "poison" your history, hoping you’ll mistakenly copy their address for your next transfer.
Never copy a wallet address from your recent transaction history.
Golden Rule: ALWAYS verify every single character before confirming the swap. A few seconds of double-checking is the only way to keep your assets safe.
DON'T TRUST, VERIFY; ALWAYS.
