flarenetwork.mom posed as the official site of Flare Network, using the title "Flare: The blockchain for data" to pass as the real project. It targeted Flare users and FLR holders who might land on a lookalike domain while searching for the network or its tools. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-29. The site has been offline since 2026-09-30 and was still dead at the last check on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages like this one copy a project's branding so visitors trust them, then steer them toward an action that hands over control of their funds. In crypto schemes, that action is usually connecting a wallet and signing a transaction, or typing a recovery phrase into a fake form. The signed transaction can quietly approve token transfers to the attacker. A leaked seed phrase gives away the whole wallet. Either way, the victim can lose every asset the wallet holds, and on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
Evidence
Ten of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain on 2026-09-29, including ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Kaspersky, Netcraft and Webroot. That is a modest count, but the flagging vendors are mainstream ones. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and recognized the Flare Network brand on the page. Beyond PhishDestroy, the domain is on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists, both of which focus specifically on threats to crypto wallets.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-27 through Eranet International Limited and was caught two days later. It went dark one day after that, a short lifespan typical of throwaway phishing domains. The .mom extension has nothing to do with Flare, so the brand name in front of it is doing all the work. The site sat behind Cloudflare, with an IP located in Canada, which hides where the real server lives. Its Let's Encrypt certificate only means the connection was encrypted; the padlock says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to this site, use a token-approval revocation tool to review and revoke any approvals you don't recognize, and move your funds to a fresh wallet if anything looks wrong. If you entered a seed phrase or private key, treat that wallet as compromised: create a new wallet with a new phrase and transfer whatever remains right away. Only reach Flare through bookmarks or links from the project's verified channels. Defenders should block the domain and look for similar Flare lookalikes registered on unrelated extensions.
No. PhishDestroy classifies flarenetwork.mom as a MetaMask impersonation page (risk: critical, 100/100); it was first detected on 2026-09-29. VirusTotal: 10/91 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is flarenetwork.mom safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on flarenetwork.mom. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
What should I do if I used flarenetwork.mom?
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
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
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
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 flarenetwork.mom)
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)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
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 phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
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
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
