Not your keys, not your crypto (Part 2 of TRC20 scam relying on transaction fees)

See Part 1 for more info

This all started because of this suspicious message on CoinMarketCap.

After digging more info on this wallet, I found this tab called "Account" on Tronscan.org, that seemingly shows that the scammer's other wallet (TLGqUs3ALjaHY19zWhcpxQeQikAjAFykkB) actually owns the keys to the wallet.

As such, it is possible to deposit crypto but not to actually withdraw it. This is because you need both signatures from the owners of the wallet.

Here are some permissions he gave to himself. You can see that only he can actually transfer crypto, and even has permissions to execute smart contracts too.

Similarly, you cannot actually update the permissions. Because you need permission from both.

On the Multi-Signature tab, you can see that the only transfers that are successful are those with both signatures. While transactions with 1 signature only fail.

Sucessful transaction (Transfer goes to the scammers wallet)

Failed transaction (Transfer goes to a different wallet)

To add even more evidence that this is a scam, the posted Trust wallet has Tron on it, just on BEP-20. This confirms my suspicions that it may also work on BEP-20 too.

You have to deposit BNB to withdraw the TRX-BEP-20 but I feel like the scammer is using the same tactics as in Tron to keep others from stealing their crypto.

Address: 0xD643B647059ad2ae4B9f219f32663109d612cE54

Scammer's wallet: 0x93d95b5d96c7f2579073fcdd1a76fd0105ab89fd

As of posting, the scammer has about 800$ worth of crypto, which is quite frankly, a large amount being scammed. Even worse when I see the same addresses sending crypto trying to withdraw the USDT without avail.

As the adage goes: Not your keys, not your crypto.
