XEC on a rip but scams abound...

BINANCEUS:XECUSDT   XEC / TetherUS
Scams are still plentiful. The infamous xecwallet.org is back up and stealing your coin but I noticed a new twist. I use a particular wallet that only allows XEC transfers on the BSC. Happens that I had several XEC contracts on BSC saved on that wallet. One day I noticed one of the balances was 29,000,000 XEC. After some further investigation into the contract, it's a phishing scam. It even says so in the contract name. Apparently if you try to transfer your imaginary balance the contract creator gets your BNB to pay gas fees and your 29,000,000 XEC has disappeared. Trade safe my friends and beware of these wallet phishing scams. They can easily wipe out your entire wallet balance just from comfirming a transaction. DYOR, internet search is your friend. Use it wisely and please don't get burned. If you have any comments or questions about this feel fre to DM me...

Here is the token address. Look at all the transactions for 29,000,000 XEC and it's amazing how much this scammer is claiming in BNB gas fees...

BTW, the website is hosted on Cloudflare in California. Reports were made about this site to the FTC and the FBI. If you live stateside and have been a victim of these scams I highly recommend filing a report with these agencies, it's very easy to do.
