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.

Damn, it's the same old trick... Just a one-letter difference can bankrupt you, it's really outrageous.

This is a typical phishing domain name tactic... It seems unstoppable, but in reality, it reflects an imbalance between user experience and security. No matter how innovative the wallet ecosystem is, a simple typo can ruin everything. No matter how sophisticated the token economic model is designed, it can't save the situation. What really makes me want to complain is why major companies' wallet interaction designs are still so easy to fall into traps, and the quality leverage of the user journey clearly can't be fully utilized.

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.

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.
