so what's the scam? I can't figure it out unless I'm being targeted specifically for some reason. I've been approached three times recently to buy an ETH address that i posted in twitter giveaways. It's my throwaway address with a bunch of worthless shitcoins and a small amount of ETH (<$100 USD), that's I've had for about 3 years. Do they want it because it's "old"? Trying to launder crypto that ends up pointing back to me? What is it?
I can't imagine they would be so stupid as to actually use it and put valuable crypto there, knowing I would still have the private keys. The most sinister reason I can imagine is they want to try to have it to "prove" to an exchange they own it... maybe in the hopes they can take over a KYC'd account I may or may not have used it with. Seems far-fetched they would be able to pull that off, but with the amount of information that has been leaked over the years, I wouldn't totally count out some stupid tier 1 customer service agent doing just that.
Any ideas? I've poured over the account to see if I have some special token or NFT, but sadly no Banksy NFT or anything like that.
And just so it's clear, NO... I'm not, under any circumstance, going to sell any ETH address I have to some internet rando... I'm just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what the scam is. Thanks.
