osarc.ai is an impersonation phishing site that presents itself under the page title "ARC". It borrows the name of a legitimate project to look like an official destination and targets crypto users who follow that brand. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-09-02. As of 2026-10-19 it was still online and redirecting visitors elsewhere, so the lure remains active.
How the scam works
Sites like this rely on a familiar name, here "ARC", and a plausible ".ai" domain to convince visitors they have reached the real project. Victims usually arrive through social posts, replies or ads promising access, rewards or a launch. Once trust is established, the page asks for an action that hands over control. That can be connecting a wallet and signing a transaction, entering a recovery phrase, or submitting login details. Anything signed or typed on such a page should be treated as compromised.
Evidence
Nine of 90 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain by 2026-09-04, including Kaspersky, BitDefender, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF and SOCRadar. That is a modest count, but these are independent, established vendors. The domain is also listed by MetaMask and SEAL, two blocklists focused on crypto threats, which matters for anyone using a browser wallet. Spamhaus lists it in its domain blocklist under the phishing category, and it appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-06-13 through InternetX, about 81 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests the domain was prepared ahead of the campaign rather than spun up on the day. The site is served from 76.76.21.21 in the United States. It uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the padlock in the browser shows only that the connection is encrypted, not that the site is genuine.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to osarc.ai, use a token-approval checker to review and revoke any permissions you granted, then move remaining assets to a fresh wallet. If you typed a recovery phrase there, treat that wallet as lost and transfer funds immediately to a new seed. If you entered a password, change it everywhere you reused it and turn on app-based 2FA. Reach ARC only through links you already trust, never through promoted posts or direct messages. Defenders should block the domain and its IP at DNS and proxy level and add it to wallet and email filtering.
No. PhishDestroy classifies osarc.ai as a MetaMask impersonation page (risk: critical, 95/100); it was first detected on 2026-09-02. VirusTotal: 9/90 engines flag it. Listed on Spamhaus DBL. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is osarc.ai safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on osarc.ai. 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 osarc.ai?
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.

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 osarc.ai)
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
