Title: uniswap scam or not ?
Post by: Rudy Letjest on September 13, 2020, 10:35:39 PM
I just bought a token at uniswap, I should have immediately received a token in my wallet. but this is the case why it got into people's wallets, is it phishing or scam or etc?


this my txn : 0xcaab6a57f01e7ddf7a1d06e1bb012fdb7d1361efa5aa1ed5167862f4f04cc040

You attempted to buy BZRX right?

I'm looking on etherscan and can't work out where it's gone tbf, I used uniswap about a month ago to buy bzrx and everything seemed to work fine. What wallet were you using and do you have antivirus on your computer/ haven't installed anything dodgy including plugins.

There has been a high number of reported phishing attacks using fake uniswap websites of recent, I however don't think that was the case here.
Looking at the transaction ID, you sent your funds to this address - 0x7A250d5630b4cF539739Df2C5DAcb4c659f2488D which appears to be a privacy router, so you likely didn't stumble into a phishing site. You could still link the website you visited for other users to verify.

You could try contacting their support on discord to get details of the supposed receiving transaction and the address it was sent to.

Read this information:

All exchanges on uniswap work through smart contracts, so fraud is impossible here.
Scammers create tokens with the same name, but this is very easy to deal with.
