Recently there was a discussion on honeypot scams, where someone will drop a seed phrase seemingly containing erc20 tokens but no eth. But the moment you transfer in any eth, it will be pulled out by a bot making it impossible to transfer out the tokens.
I have figured out a way to drain these wallets provided they hold bluechip erc20 tokens (usdc,usdt,dai etc) and put an end to this nonsense after all. I intend to publish the approach and make the tool public, so that anyone can call these scammers out whenever they want. However, I need to test more and make it robust.
So if you were ever contacted by a scammer and were dropped some honeypot seeds, ever lost money to these schemes, you can help to eradicate these scammers once and for all. And if you still have these seeds with you, you can dm me and that would be very helpful in developing this tool.
There is a post on hot right now about a “sophisticated attack”
DM that post’s OP and you’ll have a ripe one to test on
Now this is the type of war I can support
Just make some obscure I need help with X wallet post.
Youre DMs should blow up, one of them has to be a honey pot
The only real worthy punishment for a honeypot scammer would be a rat trap slam down on their nuts.
“test more” as in “get more honeypot-money? 😀
Not all heros wear capes
Keep me posted! I’m really intrigued
Scam the scammers. I like it.
I send u one ss , I didnt check if is empty or not
You won’t be able to get anything if the scam wallets are multisig.
Scammers gotta get scammed 😂. Nice, publish your results, nothing better to read than about scammers losing money.
Definitely interested in hearing about this method once you publish. But also sounds as though it may be destined for disaster.
The hero we all need!
Good job OP!
Hope your tool does good!
Right, it’d be trivial MEV to fund and drain the wallet. Is this your strategy?
I’m waiting for the plot twist.
Was it started by Winnie the Poo.
I got some from twitter. sending a dm
Think about open sourcing and releasing your script to let others fight back ;D
Think if there were services someone could go to a website and entire the information the scammer just DMd them and it then attempts the attack on the scammer. If successful, donates 60% to a charity, gives the submitter 35% of the funds, and the website creator 5%.
Awesome, OP!!!
I am just so mad that I continue to fail how all of this even works!
Medical school, almost a PhD, yet I got scammed several times and still don’t even know how.
This dude has a top comment on the sub, he got scammed – https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/wfk2xl/i_was_just_scammed_in_the_most_sophisticated_way/
OP you can also contact the subs mentioned by the automod below. I bet they have a few for you ->
The honeypot is an illusion too because you are taking nothing there. Honestly, those who fall for these scams are greedy as heck.
plot twist: OP just wants all the money for himself and his tool probably already works just fine!
The tool to be developed should be a bit able to empty those scammers wallets
The only correct way is to feed the seed phrase to another scammer who is asking for your seed phrase.
What’s your approach?
Wanna be part of this !
Keep me updated 🤩
That’s kinda lit emo. Do update us on your progress
