Massive Gas Fees as a Trap
Users are greeted with hefty gas expenses when they try to cancel these fake confirmations which ultimately benefits the scammers . Gas tokens which are tokens that may be created and destroyed to obtain gas refunds are the mechanism used in the fraud. While gas tokens were first created on Ethereum as a way to lower gas expenses they were rendered useless in 2021 due to a network update . However certain blockchains continue to allow gas tokens such as BNB Chain.
Exploiting Gas Tokens for Profit
By scripting their fake tokens to produce a large amount of gas tokens during the cancellation process, scammers make use of this capability . After being transmitted to the scammers’ address the gas tokens can then be sold for a profit . Users are unfortunately hit with a significant cost instead of being informed that they are giving money to fraudsters.
