Newbie Scam Promoting Fake SHIB Win & Burn Phishing Site

[albon]

What happened:: This Newbie member, who registered his account just a few days ago, posted a thread sharing a free domain that he is using for his scheme, ending in netlify.app.

The website claims: "Win up to 100,000 USDT" and says: "Enter with 5 USDT for a chance to win a growing, publicly verifiable on-chain prize. Every valid entry adds 2 USDT to the prize and 0.25 USDT to the SHIB Burn Reserve."

He is basically luring people into connecting their wallets, interacting with this phishing domain, and paying 5 USDT to enter.

Additional Notes: I advise everyone not to interact with this phishing website or connect their wallets. These phishing sites are not created to benefit you but they are designed to lure greedy people in and steal their money.

Be careful with any phishing sites like this, especially those hosted on free domains, as these are commonly used by scammers.

Update:

The topic this scammer made was removed in time, before it got much attention and potentially cause someone to trust him by mistake and get scammed by a phishing scam like this.

We all know there are many newcomers in this field every day and some of them may not have much experience to easily tell the legitimacy of these websites. Their greed or curiosity may make them try these sites. So, even if the scam is simple, talking about it and warning people about how scammers do this can still help many members here.

I already reported it to Netlify Support and am waiting for them to review it and take action against this phishing domain.

Good catch, thanks, mate.

Indeed, this is similar to the phishing site I reported earlier but they are using a different phishing site with another meme coin, making the same airdrop promises and using the same wallet-connect button.

What’s worth noting is that if you check CMC, you can find the official website and all the official channels for the Cash Cat project and it is actually listed on CEX platforms as well.

I have no doubt that they will come back with more phishing sites, but this time using different trending projects just to deceive people and steal their funds.

It’s good for our community to stay alert and report these scammers and their schemes quickly to protect other members.

I’ll tag his account, report his topic, and submit a report to the domain registrar, PDR Ltd., now.

use the official Monero software, and keep your wallet keys private. If a site asks you to connect your wallet for a "prize," close the tab immediately. thanks albon

Nothing new; often we have been hearing about paying small amounts and getting big amounts. They are looking for greedy people who will fall into their trap. Connecting a wallet to such a phishing site would lead to draining the wallet. One of my friends lost it as well by connecting the wallet. The wallet was drained, but he wasn’t aware.

It's good to see the thread has been deleted and the scammer account has been nuked. Forum users should avoid such offers and phishing attempts, especially newbies. Don’t be greedy, and then you will be almost safe.

I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. Indeed, he is just one of tens of thousands of people who may come across this phishing scam, whether through Google, social media, email and SMS messages, or even forums.

As you can see, they haven’t stopped promoting it even here, which means that this scheme is still active.

Many people could be tricked by it if they are attracted by the promise of large amounts of free money.

Anyone who uses the internet every day will come across these phishing scams all the time. So, everyone needs to be careful.

Large holdings should be stored in a hardware wallet, because keeping your assets offline is truly a great security advantage.
