TLDR: #ALTUSDT #AltLayer #ALT We’ve noticed sites such as  “altlayer.re”, “altlayer.nl”, “altlayer.li”, “sd-altlayer.com”, “ad-altlayer.com” etc attempting to phish members by impersonating a popular project.
Our Advice: Stay Away! These are phishing websites designed to steal your funds, we suggest you use our HashDit Chrome Extension to protect your wallet.
$ALT
The official AltLayer webpage is “altlayer.io” and official twitter/X page ”@alt_layer”.
How these scams work: 
The websites are set up to look like the original.Clicking on any link or button present on the site pulls up a wallet connection dialogue.Once you select your preferred wallet, based on the type of crypto selected in the wallet, the behavior[function call] changes but if you confirm the transaction, your funds are routed out to scammers.
#hashdit Do not fall prey to phishing links! Always do your own research before connecting to or committing to a project.
Cases
Case1: altlayer.re and altlayer.nl
If you have BNB  selected
The function CLAIM() is called and confirmation is requested.all BNB in the account is sent to the contract address if confirmed.
If you have Eth selected
The function Transfer() is called in the transaction, granting the receiver almost an unlimited withdrawal value.All USDT in the account is sent to the address specified, if confirmed.
 
Case 2: on altlayer.li
If you have BNB  selected, a similar pattern is followed with an unverified contract “0x00001067cB17f6971B28637561a59EbC9A620000”If you have Eth selected, a similar pattern is followed with an unverified contract “0x00001067cB17f6971B28637561a59EbC9A620000”

Case3: altlayer.top
The initial website pattern differs in this scam by trying to be extravagant.They have a presale and airdrop option as well as a referral link system to scam more.Upon trying to collect the airdrop, they display a message that: ”You recieved 500 $ALT rewards”If you have BNB  selected
the function SENDING BNB() is called and confirmation is requested.all BNB in the account is sent to an EOA address if confirmed. “0x9248A2fAc5227De4A70A1CB80eBf696C91f9eFeA”
If you have Eth selected
Unless you have a sufficiently high eth balance you will see the message :Min withdraw > 1,100 ALT. And not enough transaction fees, please deposit Ethereum or BNB.
Other similar links such as “sd-altlayer.com”, “ad-altlayer.com” are also running similar phishing scams however some could be short in duration vs others.

TLDR: Impersonation has been a trick scammers have been using from the days of old. Crypto is another field where this trick is employed heavily. We’ve been seeing an uptick of Portalgaming phishing sites being replicated to trick the naive. E.g.: “enlisting-portalgaming.com”, “submit-portalgaming.app”, “launch-portalgaming.com”, “portalgamingx.com” etc.

How these scams work: 
These scams are usually short lived and started up prior to a project presale/going live.Once you have visited and connected to the site, the scammers try to get you to confirm unlimited/large approvals, or have malicious signature requests or ask you to send funds to an address post which they will send you tokens.Once the user has confirmed the signature/confirmed the approval or send funds to the address you will never see them again.
Do not fall prey to phishing links! Always do your own research before connecting to or committing to a project.
Cases
Case1: enlisting-portalgaming.com/submit-portalgaming.app/launch-portalgaming.com
These sites claim to be airdrop sites for $PORTAL .They claim that you need to check your eligibility to proceed. One site even claims that “A SIGNATURE MIGHT BE REQUIRED TO VERIFY WALLET OWNERSHIP.”However once you connect, you find that the site is calling an Approve function.The function allows them to transfer a huge amount of funds from your wallet.If you confirm the transaction, you will find your wallet drained of funds.
PS: Here is an example shows how HashDit Extension could protect you, it will display risks before the real transaction is triggered.

 
Case 2: portalgamingx.com
The site sets itself up to seem to be the legitimate website.They have a pre-sale contract address listed asking visitors to send ETH to an address and the system will automatically send tokens to their wallet.They also have an airdrop section that requires the user to refer 3 more members to get rewards.
PS: Here is an example shows how HashDit Extension could protect you, it will display risks before you connect the risky website.

Concerning Facts: 
They claim to be “A private crowdfunding community united for change powered by blockchain technology”They claim to be “Founded on the principles of transparency, security, and inclusivity”
Red Flags:
When joining you require a referral and have to pay a $40 contribution per entry.Post Joining they mention multiple ways to earn:Fast start Donation: $5 everytime your referral contributes an entry.Unilevel builds: .50$ upto 10 levels of your referrals.Global build: 1.25$ upto 10 levels.They claim that you can make $10k+ just from the unilevel build as each level has unlimited referrals options.They claim you can make 25k+ from the global build as it is a dual matrix build.  They claim that you can also earn an additional 25K+ from your referral's global build. They also have a 10% deduction to automatically contribute to new entries.This scheme is guaranteed to fail as soon as new members stop joining or existing members stop funding the scheme. 
This has all the hallmarks of a scam promising very high returns but never actually providing any. 

Always #DYOR! Do not buy into projects that seem to promise unbelievable rewards!!

Always do your own research! If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't!
How these scams work: 
Popular platforms usually post information about projects with an upcoming presale/going live.Scammers view these posts and use social media apps to create fake support groups, impersonating the company and try to use fake websites/contract addresses to trick users. Once you have connected to the site or decide to transfer to the contract, the scammers try to get you to place or approve increasingly large orders or ask you to send funds to an address post which they will send you tokens.Once the user has confirmed the transaction, the funds will never be seen again.
Contracts used in such transactions are usually unverified/unpublished,to hide their functions and this should always raise a red flag in the user's mind.
These are your hard earned funds!! Always do your own research before investing! 
 Case Of the Day: Exploiting FOMO
An article was posted on Binance relating to $PORTAL farming by staking BNB/FDUSD.Scammers used the article and convinced users via a popular social media app, that there would be a token listing soon and that it should not be missed.The fake contract address was shared and users were convinced that the token needed to be bought asap to get huge profits.They were also convinced to purchase via Pancakeswap with a Binance Web3 wallet.This resulted in users losing their hard earned funds to a scammer. 

TLDR: #Web3Wallet #Launchpool #Launchpad #hashdit There has been an increase in the number of scams related to Defi launch pools where scammers reach out via fake social media support groups asking to users to invest in their websites such as “defipoolvip.com”, “defi-eths.top”,”defi-etha8q.site”, “defipool3.cc”, ”defi-eths.top”,”defivip.vip” etc, leading to a loss of all your funds.
Our Advice: Stay Away! These sites are designed to steal all your funds. We suggest using our  HashDit Chrome Extension to protect your wallet.
Always do your own research! If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't!
How these scams work: 
These scams are usually two part in nature.Part 1:Bad Actors impersonate legitimate entities and exploit human psychology to gain a user’s trust usually by reaching out offering investment advice.After trust has been established, this shifts into conversations relating to third party websites promising extremely good returns.Part 2:Once you have visited and connected to the site, the scammers will try to have you deposit increasingly large amounts of funds to your wallets or the dapp.The catch is that they have you confirm unlimited or very large approvals, or malicious signature requests.Once the user has provided the signature/confirmed the approval, they will find that their funds are now lost to them.Bonus:Another trick commonly used is that they will have the user initially deposit small amounts and provide high returns, slowly tricking the user into depositing large amounts.Once this happens they either ghost the user and disappear with the funds or try and trick the user into further depositing additional funds in the name of taxes and such, leading to bigger losses.

Do not fall prey to phishing links! Always do your own research before connecting to or committing to a project.
Cases
Case1: defi-eths.top/defi-etha8q.site
The site claims to be a Defi Smartsaving website where the user needs to only pay a miners fee a single time.They claim that the greater the balance in the account, the greater the payout.They also promise a payout 4 times a day.They try to promote trust and safety by naming prominent audit agencies and partners.However when you try to invest, you find that the site is calling an Approve function.The function allows them to transfer a huge amount of funds from your wallet.
Case 2: defivip.vip
The site sets itself up as a revenue generating site with named partners.The homepage prompts you to receive a voucher and start mining by paying just a miners fee.This triggers an Approve function call asking to approve almost unlimited funds.If approved this leads to a loss of all funds in the wallet.

 Case3: defipoolvip.com
The site promises a daily payout from 1.5%-7% based on the wallet balance.They try to instill security by naming famous partners and audit companies.The catch here is that when you try to add to the pool a transfer function is called.The funds you were deposing are now sent to the scammers address. 

TLDR: With the market moving upwards a lot of projects are gaining momentum and along with that scammers seem to be on the move as well. Token impersonations of popular and fast climbing projects are on the rise and we have seen a contract impersonating Pixels’s token and used social media apps to trick users into buying them from pancakeswap via the Binance WEB3 wallet.

Case Of the Day: Exploiting FOMO
Binance posted an article introducing Pixels (PIXEL) on the Binance Launchpool!.Scammers referenced the article and convinced users via a popular social media app, that there would be a token listing soon and that it should not be missed.The fake contract address was shared and users were convinced that the token needed to be bought asap to get huge profits.They were also instructed to purchase via Pancakeswap with a Binance Web3 wallet.This resulted in users losing their hard earned funds to a scammer.

TLDR: #PIXEL We've detected a new site “listed-pixel.com” attempting to impersonate the popular project PIXEL.
Our Advice: Stay Away! This is a phishing website designed to steal your funds.
How it works:
Fake Ads or phishing links lead to a website set up to look exactly like the original.Links leading to team info/discord/twitter etc mimic the original website to further confuse the naive.Links associated with “play for free” or “Register now”, call up the wallet connection.Once you select your preferred wallet and based on the selected crypto in the wallet, the behavior varies:If you have BNB  selected,the contract that is linked to the transaction is “0x00001067cB17f6971B28637561a59EbC9A620000”.the function CLAIM() is called and confirmation is requested. This is another method of scamming that has gained traction again.all BNB in the account is sent to the contract address if confirmed.If you have Eth selectedThe contract linked to the transaction is “0x00001067cB17f6971B28637561a59EbC9A620000”The function Approve() is called in the transaction, granting the receiver almost an unlimited withdrawal value.All Eth in the account is sent to the address specified, if confirmed.Other links you could come across are “applications-pixels.com” or “snapshots-pixels.com” or “listing-pixels.com” which are currently using 301 redirects while redirecting the user.The official Pixel page is “pixels.xyz” with their official twitter/X ”pixels_online”.
