How the scam operates.
ethereum-wallet.net menampilkan dirinya sebagai layanan wallet Ethereum berbasis web, dengan mengadopsi konvensi penamaan yang dirancang agar tampak kredibel bagi pengguna yang mencari penyedia layanan yang sah. Domain ini memadukan merek Ethereum dengan istilah 'wallet' di bawah TLD .net, sebuah konstruksi yang cocok untuk muncul dalam hasil pencarian berdampingan dengan layanan asli. Domain ini menyasar pengguna yang baru mengenal self-custody atau yang datang melalui tautan rujukan, dengan mengisyaratkan akses yang mudah ke fungsi penyimpanan dan transaksi Ethereum.
Operasi dengan pola ini berfungsi sebagai platform pemanenan kredensial atau pencegatan seed phrase. Korban menjumpai alur pembuatan atau impor wallet yang meniru layanan asli. Pengguna yang membuat wallet baru menerima seed phrase yang sebenarnya telah direkam oleh operator di sisi server; pengguna yang mengimpor wallet yang sudah ada langsung menyerahkan mnemonic mereka. Platform tersebut mungkin mensimulasikan fungsi normal untuk waktu singkat, tetapi setiap aset yang disetorkan dapat diakses oleh operator sejak saat wallet dibuat.
Kegagalan terjadi ketika korban mencoba memindahkan dana dan mendapati transaksi gagal atau situs tidak dapat dijangkau. Pada titik ini operator biasanya telah mengosongkan wallet tersebut. Korban yang kembali ke domain itu mungkin menemukannya sudah mati atau telah digantikan oleh tampilan yang nyaris identik. Pemulihan secara struktural sulit dilakukan: kerugian terjadi pada tahap pembuatan kunci atau impor kunci, sebelum setoran apa pun dilakukan, wallet sudah dikompromikan sebelum menyimpan dana apa pun.
Red flags we documented.
- 01Domain impersonates recognised wallet infrastructureThe domain name is constructed to mimic the branding of established Ethereum wallet services using authoritative-sounding terminology. No legitimate, widely-used Ethereum wallet operates from this domain. The pattern is consistent with typosquatting operations designed to intercept misdirected traffic from users seeking genuine providers.
- 02Confirmed on CryptoScamDB blacklistThe domain is listed in the CryptoScamDB community blacklist, a curated registry of addresses associated with fraudulent cryptocurrency activity. Inclusion is evidence-based and reviewed, representing a meaningful signal that the domain has been independently identified as harmful to users.
- 03Seed-phrase capture is the structural riskWeb-based wallet services that handle private key generation or import server-side, rather than client-side in a verifiable open-source environment, present an inherent risk. Platforms of this category operating without auditable code should be treated as high-risk regardless of stated intentions.
- 04No documented operator or legal identityLegitimate custodial wallet services in major markets maintain some form of documented legal identity. No such documentation has been located for this domain. The absence of a verifiable operator is a consistent feature of short-lived impersonation platforms built for rapid deployment and abandonment.
- 05Infrastructure consistent with a disposable operationDomains built around established cryptocurrency brand terms and registered under generic TLDs are routinely cycled by fraud operators. A domain that can be abandoned and replaced without reputational cost is structurally suited to short-lifecycle fraud, not to the operation of a trusted financial service.
What you can do now.
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.
