Fake transactions.

I recently made an USDT transaction from my trezor wallet for the whole available amount (so my balance is 0) and after that within 30 minutes I see 3 more transactions for the same amount to some phishing addresses that have same first and last 4 characters as the one I used.
The money couldn't be withdrawn from my wallet as I had 0 balance at that point, but I see 2 of those transactions as confirmed.

The “From” address is mine, while the “To” is the scammers address.
How possible that those transactions are confirmed within Etherium network considering I had zero balance on that address?

  2. It’s called address poisoning and the ERC20 token astandarf allows this.

  3. It is unfortunately a normal occurrence on the Ethereum network where anyone can initiate a transaction with a fake token from your address. They can do this without any knowledge of your private key.
