Beware of Address Poisoning Scams

[@Wildivn]

The amount of bravery this took was INSANE. These people all had their lives in danger, but still decided to go through with the recovery for the sake of busting bad scammers. True respect *Strong widget!* If the FBI was half as dedicated and ingenious (and honest) as you guys are, the USA would be a much safer country. Amazing work!

[@rosemary32]

This was legitimately so wholesome. You can tell at the ending of getting your money back that it wasn't scripted at all when *Strongwidget* proposed.… This warmed my heart today! Congratulations guys! So happy for y'all!

[@a.anthony7554]

*Mr Strong Widget, I would like to sincerely thank you from the BOTTOM of my heart! So many from tough harsh living conditions that suffer and you helping and giving them something that they desperately need just to survive. I thank God for wonderful people like you that are making the differences that truly matter most! God bless you Strong widget!!! Love from Greenville NC*

[@AshokAdamsp]

Scammers are a**holes who destroy people's lives. Thank you for everything you do As a banker... thank you *Strongwidget* . I can tell you a lot of bankers in the industry are very informed about situations like this because of you and have prevented many transfers and wires that would have been lost forever.

[@Vishaltyler]

Hearing these people's voices over the phone so thrilled to be evil, almost giddy sounding, is utterly disgusting. Thank you *STRONGWIDGET* all you and your team does to shut them scammers down.

[@grahams5013]

Not even words for how truly amazing all of y'all are. Thanks for doing what y'all do!! I hope y'all having nothing but wonderful days ahead. Much love for *STRONG WIDGET* , great people! I'm actually learning to Programming and to use Kali Linux because I want to help to stop scams like you helped me, l've seen many scams to very close people to me and this is very sad! We need to stop this!

[@PushpendBrandon]

You guys brought tears to my eyes seeing this. I hate what these scammers are doing to our citizens and no one was doing anything about it. Please keep up the good work *STRONGWIDGET* and I'm willing to be on the battle front of this madness. You guys gave me hope for humanity. You are all absolute heroes. I saw a comment where someone said they should do tv award on you. Not only would people watch, they would be addicted to it. It would educate millions of people on Internet safety.

Hey bud, I just wanted you to know that everything you do is necessary and thank you so much for what you do. It's more than just a recovery service, you're helping people. You're actually the push for me to get my degree in Information Technology so that I can protect people from heartless people like this. Thank you for all you do *Strong widget on the internet,* you're a genius with a big heart and principles. Support and Respect from Britain 👍🏻🇬🇧 🇺🇸.

[@uhu4677]

As an additional layer of safety I always do a small test-transaction before I send a bigger amount.

[@Ledger]

That's definitely a good strategy!

[@-zerocool-]

Same, and I verify address both times!

[@JB-ob8qu]

Safest way.

[@r4vis]

[@brightnd1868]

This man always tries to do something new and extra ordinary and make his audience feel excited for every next crypto help ❤️🧡💖💖 The amount of dedication put into this makes me so happy. Finally, *Strong widget* got zero bad deaths.

[@LL-vd3qi]

Thank you LEDGER! Always on top of your game.

[@Nerdcrusher]

Good call. I keep getting nonsense amounts of TRX and XLM, among others. Crypto addresses are exhausting to read, and it's easy to not pay enough attention.

[@FederalBureauInvestigations]

Same with me on XLM lol

[@HobbyTimeWithChris]

thank you for posting this, helped a lot! if i can make one suggestion would be to add to the title of the video. like "random ntfs showing up on my ledger live", ect. also for added security to make people more at ease in my opinion would be to add a feature to Ledger live that allows us the users / account holders to put a temporary lock and temporary password on all accounts or on each individual account to halt all outgoing transactions until we resolve the issue/ scam attack. it would also allow time to get security teams / personal involved. anyway great video again! answered all my questions 🙏

[@nomadfury]

I'm one of those that are being "poisoned". Not even the BEP20 wallet address from my Ledger Nano S is immune from it. Just recently received some BUSD and then 3 mins later there's a "poison" transaction of 0 txn. If there is a way that Ledger could add an address book feature to our recipients, that would be really helpful.

[@Ledger]

Hey - we'll pass along your feedback!

[@-zerocool-]

Ledger well ahead of the game!

[@ricoportilho7275]

Thank you, that is very relieving.

[@baby333]

5:04 aren't there poisoned tokens that you get sent, where if you try to sell or swap them for something else there would be a lot of gas fees or Drain scammy smart contract involved?

[@DucLu524]

Thanks for your sharing!

[@mordortv1431]

Hi, if I accidentally clicked on one of these nfts while I was hiding them, is the wallet compromised and should I get another one? Thank you

[@asiastopbet3025]

Can you explain the BUSD and the Binance-pegged BUSD in ledger? Im very confuse,..

[@johnoed]

Oh!! This is exactly what happened to me!! Very frustrating!!

[@aarhsamen]

Top video thanx!!!!!!

[@Ledger]

We hope you found it helpful!

[@chancegale427]

I sent $1 in xlm to my ledger. It went thorough. I recoppied what i thought was the same address from the receive option on XLM and sent the full $700. Money is now forever gone because the second time i copied "my" address another address was put in to my copy and i sent it to that address. I copied from the recieve xlm both times. Scary stuff. Pay attention.

[@wonggentle]

Nice, thank you.

[@INFINITY-oe4is]

You would think all the effort these scammers put into these ideas. They could come up with something useful for the world!

[@major7flat597]

The economy is based on mutual exploitation whether or not something useful is created.

[@digitalworld5407]

Good explanation

[@Ledger]

We hope you found it helpful!

[@xrpizzle]

You should have to approve an incoming transaction

[@astrostl]

Is there not a bookmarking / aliasing function for addresses?

[@Ledger]

Hey 👋 this feature is not yet available but we will surely escalate your request to your dev team for further review.

[@peacelove3.6.9]

Is it only for ledger users? I don't have ledger but thinking of buying..

[@J3DYR]

Last week, I lost 70% (17k) of my cryptos due to a fake Ledger app. How can we know it's a genuine Ledger website and app?

[@Mershedpaterters]

I am new to this whole crypto verse. I was recruited by a marketing company to work for them and they pay via USDT. But there's a lot of money and I'm worried it's a scam but am not sure how to tell. Is there a way I can send you a video of what they have us do each day in order to get the usdt? Thanks for the video.

[@antoniojrlopes]

Hi, normally I would hide the NFTs but now this hiding function is no longer available, how is it possible to hide them now? thanks

[@BNomad]

is there a way to recover the coins back ?

[@قصصوعبر-ح5ظ]

Hi, I just bought ledger-nano-x and it said error: battery cannot change in fact I updated the firmware

[@bryanyeo92]

whitelising would be useful to protect from address poisoining. only show the address you've saved to send

[@garlicangasongpinoy9956]

i used the 25th word to get my btc native segwit addresses on ledger but after i send from one btc address to the second both of my btc native segwit addresses changes, is this correct?

[@swamivivekananda-cyclonicm8781]

I can see my ledger receive address is different now for same coin. How can that is possible ? What if I would have sent to earlier address it was showing ?

[@SheronImke]

On google

[@jewleik]

I received one of those scam NFTs on my ledger? Is hiding it 100% secure? Also, what does it mean when people say don’t touch it or interact with it? Does it mean like don’t go to the links if you’re trying to view it or to not touch it in ledger live?

[@Ledger]

Hey - don't worry hiding a scam NFT in Ledger Live is surely secured. When we say do not interact it with the NFT we mean that do not try to send or move the NFT to a different address as you'll be signing a smart contract transaction to do that. As the underlying smart contract is malicious., you will be giving it the access to drain all your tokens and NFTs in that particular account.

[@dmtradesfx]

ledger need to add a option to block wallet addresses im being spammed with the micro transactions it NEED TO STOP

[@fanden]

What would happen if somebody would send for example btc to my wallet address that was stolen in a big hack? Would my address be blacklisted on the exchanges? And if yes, what could be done against it?

[@aminsaed1463]

@Ledger?

[@Ledger]

Hi 👋 anybody can send funds to any address since they are all public. If you get such transfer then your address might be blacklisted on the exchanges but we'd suggest reaching out to them for more accurate information. Nothing can be done to protect against it but you could send the funds back to the recipient.

[@aminsaed1463]

@@Ledger same for both Ledger and exchange?

[@fanden]

@@Ledger Thanks! Hopefully I never have to deal with that. :)

[@Ledger]

Indeed...Let us know if you have any other questions for us.

[@Jake-rk7nf]

Can someone please help me? I need to update my nano X but due to security reasons the battery doesn’t charge because it needs updating. But I can’t update it because it needs charging 😅 it tells me to connect my phone to the nano but the second I unplug it to do so it switches off. Very grateful if anyone can help as I can’t seem to find anything relatable. x

[@MokisWorldHub]

I got a message saying I might have been poisoned. I saw I did receive an NFT the caused a small transaction. I researched the transaction on Polygon scan. It was an emote NFT. I believe it came from a Dapp called Cometh. I purchased an NFT emote in-game. I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

[@miguels703]

I got NFTs from scammers and i clicked on them, just to check the adresses, can the sacammers drain my wallet because of this??

[@Ledger]

Hey Miguel - no they cannot, you're safe as long as you haven't moved the NFT or clicked on any phishing links associated with it, thanks!

[@nikobitube]

I did send small amount of ETH to address in my transaction history once. Only then I discovered the address was totally unknown. So this s#|t happens even without scam attempts. Luckily it was my own address but to other source.

[@XyzAbc-mp8zd]

I already lost usdt in this time of scam but i hope i would have found it earlier.

Hi, APE coin is only supported on ETH network in Ledger Live. Since you used BSC network to send your tokens they are not visible in your account. You can use Metamask connected to Ledger to view and manage your tokens.
