I've heard quite a few stories about phishing scams during transfers recently. Some influential figures have also been warning about this risk. I recalled a set of anti-fraud methods I developed through trial and error and want to share them with everyone for reference.

The key is to use small test transactions to verify the authenticity of the address. When you need to transfer funds, don't send a large amount directly. The correct approach is as follows:

**First, copy the target address**, then send a small amount of money. This step is crucial — a small transfer can verify whether the address has issues in real-time. If the small amount arrives normally, it indicates the address is valid.

**After the small amount has arrived**, carefully review the entire transaction record and the address to ensure there are no anomalies. At this point, don't rush; make sure the recipient is the person or address you intend to send to.

**The third step is the most prone to mistakes**. When pasting the address again, use the address stored in your clipboard from the first copy — don't randomly copy a new one. The reason is simple: some malicious software may secretly replace your copied address with a scam address each time you copy. By sticking to the original copied address, you can effectively prevent this trick. Also, double-check the first 4–8 characters and the ending characters of the address to ensure they haven't been tampered with.

**Finally, send the official amount**. Once the funds arrive, the process is complete.

The core logic of this method is to use small exploratory transactions + redundant address verification to double-check. Although it involves a few extra steps, in the face of increasingly sophisticated scams nowadays, this little trouble is truly worth it. Protecting your assets is far more valuable than saving time.
