Watch out for this stupid E-mail scam 😄

What someone should do is use this as the basis for a video. Re-word it slightly where applicable, maybe add some sexual themes, have a computer voice that sounds like GLaDOS read it, and then… well… script it! :rofl: :crazy_face:

The thing is, those tools can make those addresses for them. It takes little effort to automate it, and at most relies on trust. And yes, its that same trust that will cause some of them to still use a single fixed address there.

They dont even need to worry about the addresses in them, since they can also make it instantly transfer to a desired address, so the mails use 1000 diffirent ones (which are potentialy spoiled), but the moment such address gets such coin, it can be sent to 1 of the 100 the ‘hacker’ created himself. The hacker only needs to ensure enough addresses are in the queue.

People that make a market of these tools are well aware of how you can create a trustworthy system where the last step is a bitcoin location that is deemed safe by the user.

Ofcourse, those that do not pay for those tools will use a fixed address (and there are still plenty of those). But you realy cannot tell that from a single mail, even even a small batch. Address overlap in mails happens because its simply more efficient.

And ofcourse, a passthrough bitcoin address does cost money as transfer costs are relevant. But again, security for those users is something that costs them money. But this is where those tools already often cover that for you by instead of having subscription fee’s. They instead just want a certain % of the profits.
