How to Avoid Ethereum Address Poisoning Scams

What is Address Poisoning?

Address poisoning is a type of scam where attackers create a wallet address that closely resembles another user's legitimate address. They then perform minor transactions (often as small as 0.000001 Ethereum) to insert this address into the victim's transaction history. When the victim later copies this address for future transactions, they accidentally send their cryptocurrency to the scammer.
