How Fake MEV Bot Tutorials Trick Users

[tradelikepro]

These scams follow a repeatable formula:

• A professional video walks users through deploying a “trading bot.”
• The linked smart contract contains hidden logic that reconstructs an obfuscated wallet address.
• Scammers send a small amount of ETH to the contract to simulate profits.
• When the user interacts again, the contract drains all funds to the attacker.

It’s a self-inflicted rug pull — the victim performs every step themselves, and the attacker never touches the wallet directly.
This is why traditional anti-phishing tools fail to detect the threat.

Education is the best defense—users need to verify sources before trusting any MEV strategy.
