Thank you for helping spread awareness about samfw as a scam and warning other users.
I have a LinkedIn account with more than 2,000 followers, and a Medium account with more than 280 followers.
If you'd like me to publish your content there, feel free to send me a PM on the forum with the complete content in a TXT file, and I'll post it.
The goal is to spread awareness and help this content rank in search engines, so it may prevent others from becoming victims of this malicious tool.
New accounts online are posting that “Samfw is safe” and claiming any security detections are false positives. These posts are part of scam operations done by scammer tungtata. I’m doing my best to share clear details with the community so nobody gets scammed by this tool.
This is misleading marketing, and unfortunately it can harm many people who may end up getting scammed, just as it happened to you because of the misleading information being widely promoted about this tool.
I truly hope your efforts help you recover your losses and protect potential users of this tool from becoming victims of having their devices compromised.
Two articles have been sent thank you, albon. Also, good news: their website is marked as Ethereum phishing.
samfwscam “Trojan.dropper” in SamFw Tool #272509
https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/issues/272509Samfw is distributing malware stealthily. I’m telling you: if you don’t have important things on your computer, the tool may seem to work without issue. But if you have crypto wallets and seed phrases stored on your computer, they can drain your funds. They use trojan droppers to install a RAT and other malware on your device.
This “samfwscam” is very smart and sophisticated. Do not download or install their scam tool. This is a public warning.

Scammer tungtata offer "one-click" solutions (FRP bypass, CSC changes) to entice users, particularly those seeking technical workarounds for mobile devices. But there is something hidden behind the samfwtool.
Key technical findings, documented publicly:
Malwarebytes analyzed the installer and identified a Trojan.Dropper payload: C:\1\1\1\SAMFWTOOLSETUP.EXE
VirusTotal flagged version 5.4 across multiple engines — classifications include Trojan, PUA, and heuristic detections
The file contained a fake timestamp set to year 2097 — a known anti-forensics technique
The tool refused to run in VirtualBox and sandboxed environments — by design
Version 5.4 was deleted from the official site shortly after the theft, replaced with 5.5
