What Is the TRON MultiSig Scam?

A common scam where attackers trick users into setting up a TRON account with multisig permissions, giving the scammer partial control over your funds.

How the Scam Works

  1. Scammer contacts you with “investment opportunity”
  2. They ask you to create a TRON account
  3. They add themselves as a multisig signer
  4. They drain your funds when you deposit

Nova’s Protection

When Nova detects a TRON account with suspicious multisig settings, you’ll see:

TRON Account Blocked Banner

Warning: This account has multisig permissions that could allow someone else to access your funds.

What to Do

If you see this banner:
  1. DO NOT deposit any funds
  2. DO NOT trust anyone asking you to use this account
  3. Create a new TRON account without multisig
  4. Report the scammer

Red Flags

WARNING: Someone asks you to create a specific TRON account
WARNING: “Investment opportunity” requires using their account setup
WARNING: They guide you through adding multisig signers
WARNING: Promises of guaranteed returns

Safe TRON Usage

Create your own accounts
Never share account permissions
Only add multisig signers you completely trust
Understand multisig before enabling it
Remember: No legitimate service will ask you to set up multisig with them.
