EMERGENCY SCAM! Stolen NEAR tokens from my near wallet via fake website NEAR wallet (seed phrases)

[jeph]

Hey, hello @Hiimdjjay .

First of all, sorry for this happening.

It happened to me once, at least my lesson was not so expensive (It was like 9 NEARs, but a bunch of NFTs).

These kinds of scams are impossible to track, there are just exchange wallet addresses (I have checked the account you post).

I hope I’m wrong, but usually don’t

Thanks for reporting the scam site, in my part of the world Google didn’t suggest that url.

Being a decentralized protocol there is nothing else to do, but thanks again for reporting the scam site.

@Kemal

there are thousands of SCAM websites and new ones are launched every day. As community moderators, we cannot warn our members directly about every new SCAM page we detected, so I had the idea for a “SCAM warn feature”.

This fake wallet request for pass phrase and after transfer funds to an account called bigbank101.near, also I can see that this app uses stolen accounts to found in staking pools for tokens.

@FritzWorm

I really don’t know how could anyone recover those funds, there are no refunds on crypto, it is the advantage and disadvantage of using crypto, money is truly yours under your control but we are the only ones responsible for taking care of it, and of course this tech is new and we are all still learning, so this scammers take advantage of us, shame on them.
