Topic: [Scam]: Fake Celsius claimant Agent Website (Read 161 times)

A recipient of one of these phishing emails told BleepingComputer that they did not have an account at Celsius and never filed as a creditor, making it strange that they received this email.

The threat actors are likely using older contact lists previously stolen through hacked cryptocurrency marketing accounts.

Well, i can't say more about this, almost everything that is related to money, a scam counterpart will be created earlier or later on by this scammers.

And believe it or not some people will always be get victim for this, wondering how their thoughts work

then later on will blame the legit org/group for their stupidity.

In every claims that we're seeing, there's also those scammers that tries to take advantage of the situation.

That is so true, and if I'm not mistaken, even the claimants from the Mt. Gox who has been one of the ghost that still haunting us for many years, has been taken advantage by this scammers and made several websites as well, fake ones obviously to trap those victims because it's been years and they want to claim it right now.

So just be careful guys, this scammers are really that smart to know which incoming projects have filed for bankruptcy and what is the next step for their customers like how to claim and then they created this fake websites.

They exploit the news and trending events and create phishing sites so that the victim can connect his wallet. They rush to send phishing emails to as many emails as possible that they receive in some way or through social media, especially Twitter.

Thanks OP when you've seen this and we need to alert everyone else upon seeing such fake claimant website or a phishing link that appears to be a copy cat of the legitimate ones. It's not just for the claims of celcius but also for other websites and services that has been gone and out of service already. This isn't going to be the last one that we'll see and there will be new ones that will be made by the scammers behind these fake websites and likely, they've been doing this all of their lifetime.

I fear that they may have obtained customer data from a data leak, and then they may obtain your name, email address, and account details, such as the remaining balance, which could be exploited to claim that this service is legitimate.
These scammers are looking for any possible opportunity to steal money, it is best to verify the claim website from an official link and ignore any other links.
