PhishDestroy identifies flakeswap.finance as a live generic phishing campaign impersonating the legitimate Flake Protocol. This fraudulent platform mimics fast cross-chain swaps under the guise of 'Flake Protocol | Fast Cross-Chain Swap' to deceive cryptocurrency users into connecting wallets and surrendering assets. The domain is actively serving a malicious interface intended to harvest private keys and initiate unauthorized transfers.

This domain was flagged by 4 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating a presently undetected threat on most detection platforms. It resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Registrar details remain unverified due to privacy protection, but the infrastructure is hosted on a bulletproof hosting provider in the Cloudflare network. Trust scores from threat intelligence feeds are critically low, with multiple domain age and reputation engines already marking it as malicious. The page continues to load the fake protocol page and remains accessible with no active takedown at this time.

The threat is currently active and expanding, targeting users searching for cross-chain swap services. PhishDestroy strongly advises users to immediately cease any interaction with flakeswap.finance and report the domain to their security teams or via abuse channels. Block the IP 188.114.96.3 at the firewall and network perimeter. Validate any DeFi platform by checking official social media and verified domains only. Wallet connections to unknown domains must be avoided entirely. Monitor wallet transactions for unauthorized transfers and revoke any suspicious permissions via blockchain explorers like Etherscan or BscScan. Exercise extreme caution when interacting with DeFi platforms and always use hardware wallets with transaction approvals disabled on untrusted sites.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with flakeswap.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 flakeswap.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
