Comment l'arnaque opère.
my-ethwallet.com presents itself as a legitimate Ethereum wallet interface, mimicking the visual language and domain structure of an established, widely recognised Ethereum wallet service. The deliberate substitution of a hyphen and the abbreviation of 'ether' to 'eth' in the domain name is consistent with typosquatting, a technique designed to intercept users who mistype or misremember a trusted URL, as well as those directed to the site via phishing links or fraudulent advertisements.
Once on the site, visitors are typically presented with an interface that closely replicates a genuine wallet service, inviting them to enter a seed phrase, private key, or keystore file to 'access' their wallet. In operations of this type, any credentials submitted are captured by the operator. The site does not function as a genuine wallet, it is a collection front. Users who authenticate receive no real wallet access; the operator receives everything needed to drain the associated addresses.
The point of failure becomes apparent when victims attempt to access their assets and discover them transferred to addresses they do not control. By this stage the site may already have been taken offline or replaced, and the operator is unreachable. Cryptocurrency transfers are irreversible, meaning any realistic recovery path depends on tracing the onward movement of funds through the blockchain, not on recourse to the fraudulent platform itself.
Drapeaux rouges que nous avons documentés.
- 01Typosquatting domain targeting a recognised wallet brandThe domain my-ethwallet.com approximates the URL of a well-established Ethereum wallet service by abbreviating 'ether' to 'eth' and inserting a hyphen. This is a deliberate construction, not a coincidence, typosquatting domains require active registration and are purpose-built to intercept misdirected or deceived traffic.
- 02Credential-harvesting operation patternWallet impersonation platforms of this type derive their value entirely from capturing authentication credentials at point of entry. Any interface requesting a seed phrase, private key, or keystore file outside of locally-run, auditable open-source software should be treated as a harvesting operation until independently verified.
- 03CryptoScamDB blacklist inclusionThe domain appears on the CryptoScamDB community blacklist, a widely referenced registry of confirmed malicious cryptocurrency sites. Inclusion reflects corroborated reporting and is a recognised signal used by browser security extensions and wallet providers to warn users before credential submission occurs.
- 04No verifiable operator identity or regulatory standingLegitimate wallet services operating at scale maintain verifiable legal identities and, in many jurisdictions, regulatory registrations. This platform presents none of these. The absence of any traceable operator makes post-fraud recourse through conventional legal or financial channels structurally unavailable to victims.
- 05No auditable code or custody transparencyGenuine open-source wallet platforms publish verifiable source repositories and make custody arrangements explicit. A site mimicking this presentation without providing auditable code or independent security attestation offers users no means of confirming that submitted credentials are handled with any integrity.

Open a free 24-hour case assessment with CryptoLeek +
Tell us what happened. A senior analyst reads your file within 24 hours and replies with an honest yes/no/conditional on recovery. The assessment is free. If we cannot recover the funds we say so plainly, including which (free) regulator channel you should use instead. If we accept the case, we open a numbered case file and issue a written quote for a flat investigation retainer before any work begins, scoped to case complexity, the jurisdictions involved, and the on-chain trail.
Trace your funds on-chain with our analysts +
We trace stolen crypto across BTC, ETH, EVM L2s, Solana, Tron, and major stablecoins using the same toolchain as regulators and tier-1 exchange compliance teams. The output is a forensic report anchored to specific transaction hashes and block heights, the evidence that exchanges, payment processors, and counsel actually act on. Recovery starts here.
Recover with counsel where civil action makes sense +
Where the trace lands in a jurisdiction with cooperative banks and courts, we coordinate with bar-licensed counsel in our 40+ jurisdiction network for civil action and asset-freezing orders (Mareva-style). Counsel bill you directly; the CryptoLeek investigation retainer is independent of counsel fees. The outcome is funds released back to your nominated wallet or bank account.
