“Introducing the FOLKS token”
Analysis of the domain claim.foiks.finance confirms its classification as a high-risk crypto drainer phishing site, specifically targeting MetaMask users. The domain, now offline, was flagged by 15 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating broad detection prior to takedown. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolved to IP 172.67.136.105, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), and the site employed Cloudflare technologies for hosting and protection. The page title, 'Introducing the FOLKS token,' suggests an attempt to lure victims with a fake token offering, a common tactic in crypto drainer schemes.
The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and its nameservers were not found at the time of analysis. It appeared on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, which specifically flagged it as a wallet/seed phishing scam. Google Safe Browsing also classified the domain under 'social engineering,' further corroborating its malicious intent. The drainer kit in use was identified as Angel Drainer, a known toolset for stealing cryptocurrency by tricking users into revealing wallet credentials or signing malicious transactions.
The HTTP status returned a 403 error at the time of reporting, consistent with a takedown or access restriction. While the domain is no longer active, defenders should monitor for re-emergence under similar naming conventions or infrastructure. Organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP, and to alert users about the risks of interacting with unsolicited token offers or MetaMask-themed promotions. The exact content of the phishing page remains unanalyzed, but the available evidence strongly supports its classification as a crypto drainer operation.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with claim.foiks.finance — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
claim.foiks.finance) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
