Blood-soaked warning: Beware of ultra-low-price TRX flash-rental traps!
On the TRON network, when users transfer USDT or interact with smart contracts, they usually consume a resource called “energy.” To reduce transaction fees, some people choose to rent energy. Under normal circumstances, energy rental itself is not a scam; it is a way to save on-chain operation costs.
However, in recent years, so-called “0.1 TRX low-price energy rentals” have appeared in communities, private messages, and advertising links. They often lure users with slogans like “ultra-low price,” “automatic arrival,” and “effective within one minute,” but in reality they are carefully designed scams.
Transactions on the TRON network consume resources, mainly bandwidth and energy. Ordinary TRX transfers mostly consume bandwidth, while USDT transfers and smart-contract interactions usually consume energy.
If an account does not have enough energy, it must burn TRX to pay the fee. This gave rise to energy rental services: users pay a certain fee to temporarily obtain energy generated by someone else’s staked TRX, thereby reducing transfer costs.
Simply put, instead of staking a large amount of TRX yourself, you rent energy from someone else for a short period.
Normal energy rental prices fluctuate with market supply and demand. The normal market price for TRX energy flash rentals is about 2.5–3 TRX. An extremely low price like “0.1 TRX” is often used as bait.
Scammers use low prices as bait and wait for users to make mistakes, especially transfer errors, in order to swallow their funds. According to statistics, about 1 out of every 500 flash-rental transactions results in a loss due to a mistaken transfer, with a single loss reaching as high as 800,000 USDT.
Wrong transfer = giving money away, and possibly being robbed again:
Once funds, especially USDT, are mistakenly transferred to a scammer’s address, they are 100% unrecoverable.
Even worse, scammers may use your mistake to harvest you a second time and directly steal the USDT in your wallet. Remember: a mistaken transfer can only be refunded through the original route. There is no need to scan any QR code or click any link—otherwise it is a scam.
Seeking justice = dreaming:
Because of blockchain anonymity, scammers’ small and scattered operations, and the extremely low cost of Telegram accounts, which can be abandoned at any time, exposure, accountability, and recovery are almost impossible.
Even if you choose a “normally priced” provider, there is no guarantee that they will refund you after a mistaken transfer. Small amounts may be returned, but large amounts are very likely to be stolen outright. Never test human nature with money.
Before making a transfer, you must strictly perform the “three deadly checks”:
Check the address: Carefully verify the first 5 and last 5 characters of the recipient address, character by character. If even one character is wrong, your funds may be permanently lost.
Confirm the amount: Delete any extra zeros in the amount field and clearly distinguish the unit: 1.25 TRX is not 1250 TRX.
Confirm the token: 3 USDT is not 3 TRX.
Use your address book wisely: Save frequently used and trusted addresses, such as regular rental-provider addresses, in your wallet address book and add clear labels to avoid manual input.
While you are feeling pleased about saving 2 TRX, scammers are staring closely at the USDT in your wallet.
On Telegram, so-called “cheap” often means the most expensive price of all!

GM: Key Themes for Global Capital Markets Next Week (June 1–5)
📌 1. Middle East Developments & Oil Prices
Negotiations, ceasefire progress, and expectations surrounding the Strait of Hormuz remain the biggest variables for global markets. If tensions ease and oil prices retreat, inflation pressures could moderate, supporting a rebound in risk assets. Conversely, renewed geopolitical escalation could push oil prices and inflation expectations higher, weighing on valuations in both U.S. and Hong Kong equities.
📌 2. U.S. Employment Data Week
Key releases next week include JOLTS job openings, initial jobless claims, unit labor costs, and the May Nonfarm Payrolls report on June 5. A cooling labor market and softer wage growth would likely reinforce rate-cut expectations. However, if employment remains resilient, Treasury yields could move higher, creating headwinds for growth stocks.
📌 3. ISM Surveys & the Fed's Beige Book
The ISM Manufacturing and Services PMIs, along with the Federal Reserve's Beige Book, will provide important insights into the strength of the U.S. economy. Markets will focus on trends in demand, wages, employment, and pricing pressures, making these reports key inputs ahead of the June FOMC meeting.
📌 4. AI Supply Chain Earnings Season Continues
Following Nvidia's earnings, attention now shifts to AI infrastructure names such as Broadcom (AVGO). Strong guidance could further support sentiment across semiconductors and the Nasdaq. On the other hand, disappointing results may trigger greater differentiation within the AI trade and challenge the sector's momentum.
📌 5. China PMI, Hong Kong IPOs & China ADR Sentiment
China's May Manufacturing PMI slipped back to 50.0, suggesting a moderation in economic momentum. In Hong Kong, investors will continue to monitor IPO activity, as well as performance across consumer sectors, cross-border e-commerce, and AI hardware-related names among Chinese equities and ADRs.
Bottom Line
Markets will be focused on three key factors next week: oil prices, U.S. nonfarm payrolls, and AI-related earnings.
If oil remains stable, labor market data cools, and AI companies deliver strong results, risk assets could extend their rebound. However, if oil prices rise alongside stronger-than-expected employment data, Treasury yields may move higher, putting pressure on growth-oriented sectors in both U.S. and Hong Kong markets.
