    Scammers often use phishing emails or fake websites to trick users into revealing their digital wallet addresses and private keys. They may send emails pretending to be from a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange or wallet provider, asking users to verify their account information. Once the scammers have access to the wallet address and private key, they can easily steal the funds.

    Another method scammers use is through malware or keyloggers. They may infect a user's computer or mobile device with malware that records keystrokes, allowing them to capture the wallet address and private key when the user enters it. With this information, scammers can gain control over the wallet and transfer the funds to their own accounts.
