Part 5/9:
The narrator experienced this scam firsthand shortly after completing a legitimate transaction. Mere minutes later, both wallets received a tiny deposit of 0.001 Near tokens from what appeared to be an address closely mimicking the address of a legitimate transaction.
Upon closer inspection, the narrator noticed the similarity in the first and last four characters of the addresses. While they initially dismissed the tiny deposits as inconsequential, a deeper dive revealed the sinister setup intended to trick users into reposting the scammer's address.
