85/100

Analysis of the domain payai.finance, registered through Cloudflare, Inc., indicates it was operating as a high-risk crypto drainer scam targeting users with a fraudulent airdrop offer. The domain resolved to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3030::ac43:8720, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States. Nameservers sasha.ns.cloudflare.com and sullivan.ns.cloudflare.com were associated with the domain, further linking it to Cloudflare's infrastructure. The page title, 'PayAI - Airdrop for the AI Age,' suggests an attempt to lure victims with promises of cryptocurrency rewards, a common tactic in crypto drainer schemes. The domain was identified as utilizing the Angel Drainer kit, a known toolset for siphoning cryptocurrency from victims' wallets.

It appeared on two security blocklists and was actively blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, indicating prior detection by industry tools. Despite these red flags, the domain was not flagged by any of the 95 vendors in the most recent VirusTotal scan, though the absence of detections does not confirm safety. No SSL certificate was present, which is atypical for legitimate financial or airdrop platforms and may have served as an additional indicator of compromise. As of July 24, 2026, payai.finance has been taken offline, though its prior activity and infrastructure remain relevant for threat intelligence purposes.

Defenders should treat any prior connections to this domain as potential exposure to a crypto drainer campaign. Organizations are advised to review logs for interactions with the IP 2606:4700:3030::ac43:8720, the domain itself, or associated nameservers. Given the use of Cloudflare's registrar and hosting services, similar domains may emerge, warranting monitoring of newly registered domains with comparable naming conventions or infrastructure patterns. The unique seed 31fe8c may assist in correlating this campaign with other related threats.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

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