Wallet phishing and fake-app risk checker

Choose the most serious action that already happened. The checker separates simply seeing a suspicious page from installing a fake wallet, signing an approval, exposing a seed phrase or sending funds.

What is the most serious action that happened?

✓ Nothing is uploaded. Do not enter a wallet address, TxID, website URL, seed phrase or private key.

Know the pattern

Learn the three common scam patterns

01

Fake wallet apps

Copied logos and interfaces can hide a seed-stealing app.

 02

Fake USDT tokens

A name, icon and displayed value are not proof. Verify the network and issuer-listed contract.

 03

Signature phishing

A “free claim” can hide an approval or permit that lets a contract move tokens.

Wallet scam and phishing FAQ

Is connecting a wallet the same as granting token approval?

No. Connecting normally exposes a public address and lets a site request actions. A token approval is an on-chain permission that may allow a contract to move a specified token. Disconnecting a site does not revoke an existing approval.

Can revoking an approval save a leaked seed phrase?

No. If a seed phrase or private key was exposed, every account derived from it must be treated as compromised. Create a new wallet on a clean device and stop using the old recovery phrase.

Can a wallet app be fake even if it looks identical?

Yes. Logos, screenshots and interface text can be copied. Start from the wallet developer’s verified website, follow its store link and verify the publisher rather than trusting appearance alone.

Can someone recover crypto for an upfront fee?

Treat unsolicited recovery offers and requests for an upfront crypto payment as another scam risk. Preserve evidence and use the exchange, wallet provider and relevant local authority through independently verified channels.
