Today a user in the Ethereum sub posted about being scammed by address poisoning. Scammers send dust (very small amounts of crypto) to get into your list of recent transactions with their own fake wallets.

The scammer faked the victim's Coinbase deposit address:

0xAcd88288.....................................................8750150 <== Coinbase address

0xAcD871c0.....................................................Af60150 <== fake

0xACdC8550....................................................1450150 <== fake


Never use addresses you see in your recent wallet transactions.
Always compare more than just the beginning and the end of an address.

Better advice. Never reuse addresses.
