Yes, and it seems that it has been captured by several sites as scam already here:

So good catch nonetheless, they seems to be a lot of *.top being used as domains for scamming.

Since there is a lot of interest in eth among people, scammers are trying to take advantage of this opportunity. The name of ETH has been used by scammers to scam before, many times they have succeeded in scamming. The giveaway sites that come with the promise of a double return are designed to scam crypto investors. Those who do not understand that these websites are scams, they fall into the trap of these scammers. These scams are run by a gang. Their main purpose is to scam people.

There are plenty of transactions already on the wallet. I think there are some beginners who are victimized by these people. There are some funds transfered out already but maybe this is a cheap trick sending their own fund using different wallet address to make it look like there are other people who actually sending. Is there a chance once an eth address proven as scam could be locked down by eth? None right, so this will never end.

Sometime scammers are seen sending funds to their addresses to show themselves trustworthy. Since there is no way to understand by looking at the transactions, it is the investor's fund or the scammer's fund. Scammers strategy is often successful. Because when the newcomers see the funds entering this address, they also prepare to send funds and send funds in the greed of doubling their own funds. This kind of thing has happened a lot. So you have to be careful and control your greed.
