Scammers are running a dangerous game with fake web domains—and they're walking away with millions. They set up these counterfeit sites to harvest your personal data, then weaponize it for theft. If you're moving crypto or managing digital assets, this is worth your attention. The scheme preys on people who aren't paying close attention to URLs or security warnings. A slight misspelling or a lookalike domain can catch you off guard. Once they have your info—passwords, seed phrases, wallet addresses—the damage is done. Your funds are gone, and recovery is nearly impossible. Stay vigilant. Double-check domains before entering sensitive information. Use hardware wallets when possible. And if something feels off about a site, trust your gut.

It's the same old trick again, and someone always falls for it. Our community friends are still casually clicking links with MetaMask wallet. Really need to be more cautious.

ngl these phishing domains are really hard to defend against, I almost fell for one
Once your seed phrase is compromised, it's game over, everyone
Hardware wallets are truly the only lifesaver...
These days, you have to check each letter of the URL one by one, it's so exhausting

Nah, these phishing domains are really top-notch. I've seen several friends fall for them... Once the seed phrase is leaked, it's basically over.
