Today I would like to deviate from the standards of my content and talk about one of the ways of fraud in the world of cryptocurrency. But I would like to emphasize that this is a controversial situation, as the fraudster pretends to be a victim and asks for help. And people, taking advantage of the pseudo vulnerability of the fraudster, try to steal the fraudster's funds and lose their own funds in the attempt to steal. The method of fraud is as follows: A scammer on different platforms asks for help, claiming that they don't know how to transfer money from their wallet to another one, while publishing seed phrases. The potential victim accesses their wallet and tries to steal the funds, but since there is USDT in the balance but no TRX, the transfer fails. And then the victim enters their TRX into the account to steal the scammer's funds, but in the end, they cannot withdraw the funds, even the ones they transferred themselves. The whole reason is the double signature on the wallet, and, of course, the victim doesn't know the second keys for the signature.
