SlowMist security team has exposed a new type of cryptocurrency scam. This scam uses the remote procedure call (RPC) function of modified Ethereum nodes to commit fraud. The specific process of the scam is as follows: the scammer induces the user to download the imToken wallet and gain the user's trust by using 1 USDT and a small amount of ETH as bait. Then, the scammer guides the user to change their ETH's RPC URL to the node controlled by the scammer. The node uses Tenderly's fork function to falsify the user's USDT balance. When the user sees the incorrect balance, they may attempt a transfer, but the scammer has already disappeared. According to SlowMist Technology's report, this type of scam exploits users' trust and negligence, resulting in asset losses. The SlowMist security team reminds users to remain vigilant when trading and avoid using untrusted RPC nodes.
