How the scam operates.
Domain ini meniru konvensi penamaan sebuah antarmuka wallet Ethereum mapan yang banyak digunakan untuk pengelolaan aset secara self-custody. Bagi pengguna yang tiba melalui hasil pencarian, tautan phishing, atau iklan di media sosial, alamat tersebut akan tampak milik layanan yang sah. Tujuan operator tampaknya adalah menarik pengguna yang meyakini bahwa mereka sedang mengakses antarmuka wallet tepercaya untuk mengelola atau memulihkan aset berbasis Ethereum.
Operasi phishing jenis ini umumnya menampilkan antarmuka wallet yang tampak fungsional dan meminta pengguna untuk mengautentikasi dengan memasukkan private key, seed phrase, atau berkas keystore. Berbeda dengan wallet non-custodial yang asli, platform semacam ini tidak memproses informasi tersebut secara lokal. Kredensial yang dimasukkan ke antarmuka diteruskan kepada operator, memberikan akses langsung dan tidak dapat ditarik kembali ke setiap dana yang tersimpan pada alamat wallet terkait. Desain visualnya dikalibrasi agar sesuai dengan pengalaman yang diharapkan korban dari layanan sah yang ditiru.
Titik kegagalan menjadi terlihat ketika pengguna berusaha menjalankan transaksi dan mendapati saldo wallet mereka telah dikuras. Karena operator telah lebih dulu mengambil private key atau seed phrase, pencurian biasanya berlangsung cepat dan tidak menyisakan jalan pemulihan melalui platform itu sendiri. Korban kerap melaporkan adanya jeda antara pemasukan kredensial dan hilangnya dana, karena operator dapat menunggu sebelum menyapu isi wallet atau bertindak secara berkelompok. Pada tahap itu, domain palsu tersebut sering ditinggalkan dan operator beralih ke target berikutnya.
Red flags we documented.
- 01Domain name mirrors a recognised wallet brandThe domain replicates the branding of a well-known Ethereum wallet service with sufficient accuracy to deceive users not examining the full URL carefully. This subdomain-impersonation technique is used to redirect search traffic and phishing-link victims toward a fraudulent interface under a familiar-looking address.
- 02Confirmed listing on CryptoScamDB blacklistThe domain appears on the CryptoScamDB blacklist, a community-maintained registry of known phishing and fraud infrastructure in the cryptocurrency space. Inclusion reflects a documented report of malicious activity, not merely a suspicion, and is a reliable early indicator of credential-harvesting intent.
- 03Private key entry is the central fraud signalWallet interfaces of this type prompt users to enter credentials that a legitimate non-custodial service would never request via a web form. Any platform soliciting a seed phrase, private key, or keystore file through a browser should be treated as a credential-harvesting operation regardless of its visual presentation.
- 04Non-standard TLD points to deceptive infrastructureThe use of a brand-associated top-level domain rather than a conventional public TLD is atypical for legitimate wallet services. Branded or unconventional TLDs can be exploited to construct domain strings that superficially resemble trusted addresses while operating outside standard registration scrutiny and consumer-protection frameworks.
- 05No verifiable operator or regulatory standingNo operator identity, company registration, or regulatory authorisation is associated with this domain. Legitimate wallet services maintain at minimum a verifiable corporate presence. The absence of any such identity is consistent with infrastructure designed for a short-lived fraud campaign and rapid abandonment after funds are taken.

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.
