Xmrwallet.com is a scamWARNING: Potential Phishing website (self.Monero)

enviado por genericdruggie

Didn’t do my research, had $500 worth of monero sent to another wallet randomly after receiving it. I had done about 2k in transactions before no problem. Yes I understand how phishing works and made sure to type in the url by hand every single time. Funds just confirmed sending so rip $500. Learn from my mistake and do your research.

Mods, can we add it to the sidebar?

Without hard proof it is difficult. We already have removed their listing on the sidebar and stuff, but actively calling them scammers is a different bar entirely

I could upload screenshots of the transaction that cleared my wallet, but I’m assuming that’s not enough proof though. It has gotta be almost impossible to prove since anyone could just say you were phished or keylogged. I’ve never had a problem with a wallet in the past and I made sure to type out the url every single time to prevent phishing. I can’t think of anything I could’ve done that would’ve compromised my accounts security which leads me to believe they’re selective scammers.

Selective scamming would require a different page be served to those scammed, and that page will carry a signature from the https connection that can verify its legit.

What are benefits to them? And what are benefits to offline or local

Still baffled at how these sites are still up..

They pay for web hosting, right? Which means their info is documented somewhere. Why can’t they be found and fined for things like this?

Maybe they pay for webhosting in XMR.

My customer told me he sent more than 10xmr(about $1600) to my address. but Xmrwallet.com does not sync height today, and the website kept logging me out. I think I got scammed as you did by Xmrwallet.com. But I have some faith on crypocurrency, I need to find the proof that my xmr coin has been transferred elsewhere. After searching something on google, I got some hints about xmr and got my xmr coin back finally.

  1. with transaction id, secrect view key and xmr address, I can check transaction status on block explorer. It shows my address did receive the 10xmr. In this way, I can begin to process my customer's order even if my coin had been stolen.

  2. Downloaded a hardware wallet from getmonero.org, it did not sync successfully when I use simple mode, no transacation history at all. But it worked when I use advance mode. I think it is because I'm located in China, the network to abroad is not that good. With sync running, my transaction history appears one by one, coins started to come up on my balance, it's very excited to me!

  3. Finally I got my total coins(about 11xmr) back.

I used to use online wallet before, so I never had an idea how xmr works. Today I learned a lesson that how powerful decentralization is. No matter where you are, you just need to input your seed into a wallet(online or offline), you will get your coin there.

Unfortunately, the coversion rate of coin is so high today, I have no chance to preserve some coins now :(

Nice ... but you did immediately transfer those recovered 11 XMR to another wallet of yours, right? A wallet that never had anything to do with XMRWallet.com or any other webwallet, i.e. with a seed that never left your own computer.

And a little comment about language / terminology:

2. Downloaded a hardware wallet from getmonero.org,

You can only download software wallets from there. A hardware wallet would be, well, a hard metal box with some electronics inside. That's not on offer for download :)

  1. Yes I have transferred the xmr to a trading platform to cash out.

  2. Thanks for your correction. Yes, I meant the wallet software installing on hardware.
