Title: {Warning} Fake WalletConnect clone site
Post by: Baofeng on January 14, 2021, 12:21:54 PM
This is probably the inspiration of the scammers when creating the Be careful with this so called Integration Wallet website (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5308513.0) by @Jating because we have the original: https://walletconnect.org/wallets/.

But then again, scammers created a similar looking website. Take note of the "s" in the name,

So I'm expecting that these criminals are going to create a lot of these wallet integration clones moving forward, so this is a warning already.

This is the new scam tactic now, there was similar one reported some days ago

Be careful with this so called Integration Wallet website
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5308513.0

I believe such sites will ask for seed phrase which will be the means of scamming people by using victims seedphrase to steal from their wallet after compromising the wallet, and it will be bad if someone give such sites any of the seed phrase of any of his/her wallet having bitcoin and other funds, all the bitcoin and other funds will just be completely gone.

They are the season of scammers because many beginners rush into the market without thinking about the consequences of their investments.
I do not expect that such scam will stop. Therefore, it is a primary matter that all these topics be grouped into one topic and that they be reported to contribute to its closure.

URL name must be checked multiple times and report that scam site.

Thanks for the mentioned, yes, the real website could have been given them the idea to create such 'integration wallet' that I initially discovered. Much easier for them to trap crypto enthusiast as everything is set into one website.

But very dangerous if you haven't had the experience and not checking if the URL is correct or not.

There's a similar scam wallet out there and it's still active

Code:
https://walletsconnect.online/
^ DO NOT OPEN

A seven year crypto veteran has fallen victim to that website. He committed a rookie mistake of giving out his private key.
https://i.ibb.co/d5WftZT/Untitled.png
(source) (https://twitter.com/bitcoin_dad/status/1348692662170251264)

I guess there will be more that will come out in the coming days.

Another reminder:
1. Double check the handle of telegram support.
2. Double check handles of exchanges that will offer help. The guy was about to fall victim to another scam when a scammer pretended to be from HUOBI exchange.

Real account: https://twitter.com/HuobiGlobal
FAKE account: https://twitter.com/HuboiGIobaI (Please report)

The scammers select the names of these fake websites in such a way that if the people are a little unaware, they will fall prey to these fake websites. Because there are many people who do not check the url well before using any website and wallet, which is very dangerous for them. So everyone should check the url of that website well before using any website. Thank you @Baofeng, after this warning of yours, many new crypto users will probably avoid falling into this trap.

LOL, one stop shop for scammers, if you own at least one wallet in the list and you get trap, ouch.

So yeah, this is probably the latest in the bag of tricks from this criminals, and I don't know how it is possible for someone like what @Bttzed03 will fall for this scheme. That's why we really need to check everything, not just visually, use our common sense at all times.

The integration wallet now is indeed the main target if we don't pay attention to it in more detail then we will be trapped into their pool, all efforts have been made I see this is indeed the most attractive target maybe only slightly changes the domain and of course we need to pay attention to the URL or at least compare before visiting her.

I think there will be many cases or victims of this finding so we realize ourselves with common sense, especially beginners who need to pay attention to, I am sure they will connect the integration wallet during the airdrop so that's a lot of cases.

the scammers continue to create phishing websites as mentioned by the OP. I don't know how many phishing websites like this I have found. The template used is 100% the same and the only difference is the website URL. if not vigilant it will fall into his trap. Phishing website links like this are usually found in several telegram groups, twitter and in email messages.

You can also add this to the growing lists:

And as others have said, this could the next wave of scams because we have move to such wallet integrations and as a result scammers are taking the opportunity again.
