Title: (Suspected) Scam App - decentralized-base-protocol.vercel.app Post by: goldkingcoiner on April 10, 2024, 04:52:34 PM What happened: A newbie coiner and Bitcointalk user named Anderson0077 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3615419)lost his funds after they were drained from his wallet. Most likely after (I suspect) connecting to this app:
Scammers Link (do not connect your wallet to this app!): Code: https://decentralized-base-protocol.vercel.app Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492300.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492300.0) Amount Scammed: NA Payment Method: NA Proof of Payment: NA PM/Chat Logs: NA Additional Notes: A reviewer has also noted it as a scam app which siphons your crypto from your wallet: https://www.scamadviser.com/account/profile/1272414 https://i.ibb.co/cbvHhD1/image.png Title: Re: (Suspected) Scam App - decentralized-base-protocol.vercel.app Post by: Cantsay on April 10, 2024, 05:41:57 PM There are so many things that could have tipped someone who was a bit experienced that they were dealing with a shady site; just by merely looking at the site, I observed a few things myself.
First was the fact that all the links in the site lead to the same place i.e. "wallet.html" page where users will be asked to connect their wallet before being allowed to proceed further. Another thing I observed is that they are using a free "Vercel(.)app" template - Before making my post I also created an account at Vercel and I chose the free plan and was given the same domain as theirs and if I had wanted a custom domain I would have to pay and remove the ".vercel" from it - So for a site that claimed to be offering all those services in their homepage, I believe getting a custom domain wouldn't be a problem unless its being run by a broke scammer (which in this case it is). By the way thanks for this thread I guess those that missed out on the other thread where @Anderson0077 complained about his missing fund would see this and avoid this site.

Scammers take advantage of crypto wallets' popularity by creating unsafe and fake wallet applications and phishing sites, promoting them in search engines, and sending harmful links to customers of those wallets if their private information, like email addresses, has been leaked. I will file a complaint to report this App, and I hope you will do the same. Thank you, OP. |
