FreebotAML drained $31,000 after its wallet scanner requested contract access

My wife was trying to exchange approximately $31,000 in USDT while we were preparing to purchase a home. A service promoted through social media instructed her to move the assets into Trust Wallet and use freebotaml.com to scan whether the wallet was safe.

The supposed scan asked her to approve a smart contract. That approval actually granted unlimited access to the wallet's funds, allowing the USDT to be removed.

A wallet safety check should never require unlimited token spending permission. The professional-looking advertising and social-media presence did not make the contract safe.
