Context: I'd like to make a black charge with ti scales.

Question: Has anyone tried putting the ti scales on the regular charge plus? Do the black pivot screws fit the ti scales? I know the scales have deeps for screw heads. Are they wide enough to accommodate the black charge plus screws?

Hey y'all. If you have a used/worn charge plus with black aluminum scales please share some pics. Asking for a friend. Thanks ✌️

edit: no need to share safe queens. If you've carried your tool for a significant time and it's still spotless, it still counts, please share. If you have a minute to describe the amount of time/ and the type of use it's seen, that'd be awesome. Ty

I want to warn people about a crypto scam mechanism that looks more convincing than the usual fake exchange or fake liquidity pool scam.

The scam is presented as a small crypto “arbitrage” strategy between two wallets or platforms. In Russian-speaking groups, this may be called a “svyazka”, in some cases it can be called "connections".
The victim is told they will receive signals instruction messages) through Telegram, WhatsApp, or another app. Each signal has a short time window, and the victim has to complete the "exchange" loop within that time. The loop may involve buying one token (using initial USDC/T) on one wallet, sending to the second wallet, then sending back a different "compatible" token and "make money on that exchange". More signals, larger amounts, or higher “tiers” supposedly mean higher yield. The victim usually pays 20% of their earnings to the scammer as part of the deal. 

The victim is reassured that the funds are always in their own custody because they are “just moving money between their two wallets.” That is the lie. The scam happens at the transfer step.

The victim copies their own receiving address from one wallet. Then the victim is told to paste it into the other wallet’s send field and add a domain suffix, such as:

<victim's-wallet-address>.solana

or

<victim's-wallet-address>.ton

The scam may or may not include the exchange component, that is mostly irrelevant.

The core issue is that once a suffix like .solana, .ton, -binance.ton, .eth, or another Web3 domain is added, the wallet treats the whole thing as a domain name, not as the original wallet address.

Having obtained the victim's wallet address when "helping to set up their wallets", the scammer buys a web3 domain, sets that address as the domain name, then sets that domain to resolve to their own wallet.

So the victim thinks they are sending funds to themselves. On-chain, they are actually sending funds to a third-party wallet controlled by the scammer.

Then the scammer-controlled wallet sends the exchanged funds plus the "exchange gain" to the victim's second wallet. The victim believes that the exchange strategy works!
But the gain is manufactured. To subsidize early transactions, the scammer tops up the payout wallet from another address manually or automatically. On the actual exchange, the scammer often loses money.

The real flow summary is simple:

1. Victim sends funds to the scammer’s wallet thinking they're sending to their own. Victim has no idea what that suffix does.
2. Scammer's wallet adds more funds and send to victim's destination wallet.
3. Victim believes the arbitrage is real.
4. Victim increases the amount  to receive better returns or more signals per day.
5. Eventually, the scammer ends the loop when a large enough sum lands in their wallet. Alternatively, that the scammer offers the victim to move to another scheme that supposedly has better yields. This may depend on scammer's judgement of the victim's potential to "invest".

This is a pig-butchering-style setup. The early successful transactions are bait. The actual loss comes later, usually when the victim deposits a larger amount, joins a higher tier, or moves into a “liquidity pool” or “VIP” opportunity.

Main warning sign:

Do not append a domain suffix to a wallet address because someone tells you to.

your_wallet_address is one thing and your_wallet_address.solana or your_wallet_address-binance.ton can be a completely different thing: a domain that resolves to someone else’s wallet.

Before sending, always check the final recipient address in the wallet preview. The destination address should be your wallet's address, not something else. Then check the transaction on a block explorer. If your funds first go to an unknown wallet, and that wallet later sends something back to you, that is not self-custodied arbitrage. That is a counterparty payout. The moment your funds go to their wallet, they control whether you get anything back.

Edit: format and clarity.
