Bitrace warns of new crypto scam using QR codes
The scam starts with a small payment of Tether (USDT) to the user.
According to a social media post by blockchain analysis firm Bitrace, scanning the wrong QR code could drain users’ wallets.
Bitrace is warning of a new type of crypto scam “where theft is carried out through a payment QR code transfer test, essentially deceiving users into authorizing wallets.”
According to Bitrace, the scam follows a specific pattern. First, the scammer proposes that the user swap tokens over-the-counter (OTC) — through a wallet-to-wallet transfer rather than an exchange — and offers an exchange rate that beats the market.
