There is a clone atomic wallet:

Code:

https://www.trustwallettoken.io/

After the xxxtoken.io phishing site, scammers might create xxxdefi.io and other domain names with trustwallet at first, at the end or in the middle of domain name. I see it is very easy to know they are phishing sites, keep eyes open on domain names.

Check domain names with coinmarketcap.com, coingecko.com search results and don't forget to visit that site and these topics to get more details for checking.

For anyone that considers themselves to lazy to check the url, and verify its the proper one every single time. Then, I suggest that you research it once, and then bookmark making it easier to access next time. Personally, I check the url each time, but I understand others may not have the patience for that.

It's still really mind boggling to me how a lot of people don't even take the extra 15 seconds to check if they're in the legitimate website, knowing that they're actually going to use the app/program to hold valuable assets. Human laziness/carelessness is surely a very interesting topic.

My guess is that they open a Telegram channel pretending to be the real Trust Wallet channel/group, and then do a fake giveaway where users must download the app from their link. Or they can spam this fake link through PMs/group chat, or whatever.

With Telegram, scammers will join as many groups as they can and try to create messages for their scam giveaways. This type of scam giveaway on Telegram, Youtube, Twitter is an old type and scammers only do this because they don't have anything to loose and if they get luck to scam greedy people, they can get a lot of money. I think their opportunities to scam the others are small but as mentioned they have nothing to lose.

What they will lose is their Telegram accounts but cost can be nearly zero. When I see scam giveaway messages and accounts, I report them all to group admins and to Telegram to shut scam accounts down ASAP.

This guess can be true because scamer will continue to roam the telegram channel by creating groups and other fraudulent giveaways I often see groups like this and they buy bots to raise members to make it look real even though it's only bots that work.

I'm not really sure about the benefits of this scam but still scamer will never tire of continuing to spread phishing sites and this will arise again and I'm sure we will find it.

Do not join a lot of telegram groups as they are all spammy and most importantly the real groups of the project.

Very similar modus operandi as the linked Metamask case indeed. Neither of these two cases display any meaningful hits on Google (aside from some reports on scam tracking projects where people report them), so it’s still a wonder how they drive traffic there to scam people. Social Media, Adds and changed links on sites that refer to Metamask are the obvious choices, but alas we do not really know (nor their real impact in quantitative terms).

Although, there's no verifiable way of calculating the real impact. I would say, as long as they're getting this link out there, many will fall for it. Just think, many people still get fooled by the "I'm a Nigerian prince, and I'm going to give you free money" type emails. So, I'd assume something that I would consider more obscure would be successful. Obviously, assuming that they are promoting this to a large enough group.

Website address wallet, official project, potential new project token, project team, etc. These are all cloned targets of scammers and are very easy to spot as there will be slight differences if you are careful and refer to the official website or telegram group.

Stop using Google to find the website of exchanges, services, or wallets.

Stop following random links without checking the URL.

Start using uBlock Origin.

Never type your seed in anywhere.

How many times does this need repeated?

Afaik there a product of binance so I'd recommend accessing them from that site if you can instead...
For stuff like this i normally remember a few trusted websites that can link further to lesser known stuff (so I'd assume that'd work still in this case).

Code:

Archived: https://archive.is/4VtCu

The real trust wallet is: https://trustwallet.com/

Visually them might not be similar, but with the domain name, maybe someone can fall victim for it.
