Impersonates a Major Token
The contract spoofs the name or symbol of USDT, USDC, WETH or another major token at a fake address.
Impersonates a Major Token
The contract spoofs the name or symbol of USDT, USDC, WETH or another major token at a fake address.
What it means
A token whose name or symbol exactly matches a major asset (Tether USD / USDT, USD Coin / USDC, Wrapped Ether / WETH, DAI, WBTC and others) but lives at a different contract than the real one. The spoofed metadata is the whole scam: wallets and explorers display it as the genuine asset even though it is worthless.
Why it matters
This is the FlashUSDT / proof-of-funds class. The operator sends a victim a large balance that shows up as 'Tether USD' and convinces them it is real - for an OTC trade, an escrow proof, a job signing bonus or a flash-loan demo. The victim sends real value in return and is left holding a fake-address token with zero market value. It usually has no DEX pair at all, so tools that only watch liquidity never see it.
How RektRadar detects it
RektRadar reads name() and symbol() at deploy time and compares them against a canonical-address map of the major tokens. An exact name or symbol match at a non-canonical address fires the flag - even with no liquidity or trade history.
