Address poisoning is a scam in which scammers deceive users into sending crypto or NFT disguised as a voucher to a scam account instead of a legitimate one, effectively “poisoning” the user’s wallet. Scammers may create addresses with similar first and last characters to trick users into sending assets. To avoid this, it is best to refrain from engaging with any unwanted tokens or addresses.
It is advisable to take precautions, such as using Ledger’s suggestion to right-click and ‘hide’ the token to remove it from visual sight. Additionally, users should exercise caution when encountering malicious links in their wallet that may lead to scam websites attempting to solicit sensitive information or authorize harmful transactions.
