Mining Company Loses 405,000 USDT in Sophisticated Transfer Scam

A mining company has fallen victim to a transfer scam, losing 405,205.4 USDT in the process. The incident occurred while the company was making a payment to Bitmain. The scammers used a fraudulent address with the same last digits as the legitimate one, creating confusion during the large transfer.

The scam involved the fraudulent address, TTUMpPrRgkwHFK4LFVbobN49SrmioWNWst, which had been sending small payments to the company’s wallet to establish a deceptive pattern. Once the company transferred the funds, they were moved to another address, TNKrER2KWdwPB91TtvDD4ewzgfFnSw94Yk, and subsequently exchanged for TRX on SUN SWAP. The TRX is now in a pledged state.

The mining company has reported the incident and received a case receipt. The transaction ID for the fraudulent transfer is 937b17a1d8ab603ad3385f9a5f4324de880cc727b8b049e7f01f918c91c876d6. This incident highlights the need for increased vigilance and security measures in cryptocurrency transactions.
