The scam of hitting addresses has been going on since last year and is still circulating today. Those inexplicable token contracts, when searched on Twitter, are full of fake accounts stirring up trouble and creating false hype.

The most heartbreaking part is the so-called "profit leaderboard"—just scan the on-chain data to see through it. The main players are usually those who don't even understand the chain most of the time. Their tricks are nothing new: they set up bots to hit contract addresses, copy URLs of well-known project documents, and then start issuing buy orders to siphon funds. Fake on-chain data, fabricated profit records, endorsements from influencers... a full-service operation.

Honestly, this isn't innovation; it's just an old trick in a different disguise. Every bear market, someone tries to cut the leeks this way, and the final line of defense is the exchange's risk control and the community's vigilance.

This stuff is really annoying, always the same old tricks with a different flavor. --- The data on the profit leaderboard is obviously fake; a quick check on the blockchain exposes it. --- In the end, you have to rely on your own judgment and not be led astray by alt accounts. --- Really, projects like these are increasing year by year. When will they be properly regulated? --- Copying documents is such a low-level tactic. Do people still believe it? --- Ultimately, it's the trading gains that determine success. Small retail investors are defenseless. --- After playing with the same address for so long, some people still fall for it. How lacking in experience can they be?

Honestly, these scammers are really too lazy to change their scripts. They just copy the same routine from last year... Seeing these tricks every day, it's really boring. How can people still fall for them... The profit leaderboard is all fake data at a glance, it's outrageous... I'm already tired of this kind of operation, just copy-paste re-skinning games... It's normal to see this kind of thing during a bear market, like rain, it's really annoying... When will people finally wake up and use their brains, still getting scammed...

This show is performed every year, but the question is, why are so many people still rushing in?

Really, these credential stuffing scams are still going on, so annoying --- The profit leaderboard is just ridiculous, the data doesn't match at all --- Changing aliases is the same old trick, just repackaging old scams --- Every bear market, you have to watch out for these people, exhausting --- On-chain data can be faked, these guys are really something else --- People still believe in low-level tactics like small account manipulation? --- Basically copying and pasting, using big V names to scam --- What about risk control? How are so many fake projects still getting through? --- The credential stuffing address attack, I've seen it all before, I'm tired of it --- The community needs to be more vigilant, it's really too rampant

I've already mentioned this trick before, I explained it thoroughly in my course last year... If people are still falling for it now, it shows that many haven't grasped the essence.

Same old tricks, it's just annoying to watch. No matter how fancy the platform is, it can't escape the scrutiny of on-chain data.
