Our Investigation
Shibarmy Scam Alerts provided a screenshot of one of the malevolent wallet connection tools to provide further insight into the recent scam. Crypto Basic conducted a brief probe into the suspicious website.
The website’s main page featured links to assist users in “connecting their wallets” and “restoring all networks.” Additionally, it contained links to address various issues related to asset swapping, connecting decentralized applications (dApps), whitelisting, missing funds/irregular token balances, high gas fees, transaction errors, staking/unstaking, migration, airdrops, and minting.
Despite offering solutions to a range of wallet-related problems, linking wallets to the website could result in financial losses. Therefore, it is advisable to refrain from clicking on any links associated with a wallet connection tool.
