🧠 What looks like a genuine question is actually a baited trap.

Here’s the comment again:

"I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (wonder obey dial dash soon tank spike scout region undo zero such). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?"

At first glance, this appears to be:

  • A confused user asking for help

  • Someone publicly sharing a seed phrase by accident

🚨 But the real goal is to bait scammers (or curious viewers) into:

  1. Importing the seed into their wallet

  2. Thinking they’ve just accessed a dormant wallet full of USDT

  3. Then attempting to transfer the funds

  4. Which triggers a smart contract trap or a honeypot token

  5. Resulting in the real user’s wallet being drained when they approve a transaction

🎣 The Trap: "Seed Phrase Fishing"

There are two main versions:

🔥 1. The Honeypot Scam

  • The wallet does appear to contain USDT or crypto

  • But when you try to move the funds, it requires a small gas fee

  • After sending ETH/BNB to “unlock” it, nothing happens

  • Your funds are instantly swept by a bot

This works because scammers automate monitoring of that wallet and immediately drain anything sent to it.

🧠 2. Smart Contract Trap / Approval Scam

  • The wallet has fake tokens (often mimicking real ones)

  • You’re tricked into visiting a fake DApp or “wallet connect” page

  • It asks for token approval — which allows unlimited access to your real wallet

  • Once approved, they drain your own crypto, not the honeypot

🦠 Why Do They Post It on Their Own Scam Videos?

Because:

  • It creates false engagement

  • The comment appears like a real, desperate user

  • Viewers believe the wallet is real and think they’ve found a “forgotten fortune”

  • And when they get scammed… the scammers win again

This strategy also baits other scammers, letting them fight over the scraps or get caught themselves.

📌 Also: It Games the Algorithm

These comments are usually:

  • Pinned

  • Replied to

  • “Liked” by other fake accounts

Why? Because:

  • More comments = higher ranking

  • Pinned discussions build social proof

  • It creates a rabbit hole of fake technical questions, overwhelming casual viewers

🚫 What Should You Do?

If you see these:

  • Do not interact, even to “expose” — it feeds engagement

  • Report the video + comment as phishing or scam

  • If you run a legitimate warning channel, pin a comment warning about this trap

🧠 Summary: The Real Goal

Their goal is to exploit greed or curiosity, by baiting people into trying to “rescue” crypto that isn’t theirs.

But when you try — you lose your real funds.

It’s a beautifully twisted example of psychological baiting.
