I've seen quite a few address poisoning scams and have repeatedly warned everyone in the community. But this time, it involves a fund of 50 million level, to be honest, it's the first time I've encountered such a large amount.
I've realized a principle: never copy addresses just for convenience; you must obtain them from official sources. Web searches, forwarded messages from friends, or even seemingly legitimate screenshots could have been tampered with. Don't be lazy, really. One slip-up and you could end up losing five, six, or even larger amounts.

50 million... This time I truly witnessed what professional-level phishing looks like. The address poisoning cases I analyzed before are just child's play.
I need to break the habit of copy-pasting. I've also fallen for it before. From now on, I will verify through official Discord, official website, and verified accounts three times—no laziness allowed.
It seems that even the most legitimate screenshots can be altered. When friends forward things, we must be extra cautious. Trust is extremely costly these days.

Wow, 50 million. How ruthless is this scammer? I have to think twice before copying addresses in the future.

50 million? That's really a big move. I've fallen into traps before, but never this big.
Copying addresses from official channels really can't be skipped; one mistake and it's game over.
The kind of screenshots friends recommend are the most dangerous. They look harmless but have already been altered.
Talking about this kind of thing is just tears every time. We keep saying the same thing over and over.
The official website's direct link is always the only answer. Remember that, everyone.
Losing 50 million would make me cry to death. If I encountered this, my hands would tremble.
Address poisoning is a trick scammers play too skillfully; it's hard to guard against.
So it's better to go directly to the official site and be honest, don't rush.
Looks like someone else is paying tuition again. When will these tricks finally stop?

50 million directly gone, and from the clinical presentation, this method has indeed been upgraded. But I have to say, address verification should not be considered a "realization"—it should be a basic check-up before entering the market.

50 million? This wave of cutting is really ruthless. How are there still people so careless?
Official sources really need to keep their hearts in their stomachs; other channels are all traps.
Copying and pasting such small things can also cause issues; you need to learn.
Addresses are not something to be lazy about, brother.
I don't trust anything shared on Moments anymore, let alone screenshots.
50 million level... How unprofessional do you have to be to fall for that?
By the way, how do you usually verify if an address is genuine? Do you have any secrets?
