We've been identifying and reporting on a ton of crypto fraud. Any popular site that uses a "wallet connection" is ideal for scamming, and unfortunately, these scams are widely successful. The scam asks users to enter their wallet secrets to connect their wallets. The general crypto community consensus is that if you fall for these scams, you deserve it. There are a lot of newcomers to crypto, and unfortunately, many people are falling for these scams. These phishing sites are combined with other avenues that make the scam more successful.
Right now, there's an active google ads phishing campaign targeting the "Biswap" crypto exchange, so if you google "Biswap," there's a good chance you'll see fake Google ads. If the very first thing you see on Google is what you're looking for, and it leads you to a site that looks just like the site you expect to be on - why would you think twice?
We've also seen cases where scammers create fake support accounts to impersonate legitimate organizations, such as Opensea, and use Twitter to trick victims onto counterfeit sites. The sites may seem obvious on their own, but when you combine these additional steps scammers take, it's clear to see why the scammers are having so much success.
