vww-curve.finance is a lookalike domain that impersonates Curve, the decentralized exchange known for its stablecoin liquidity pools. The "vww-" prefix is built to pass as a mistyped or hurried "www" in front of the brand name, aimed at DeFi users who search for or click links to the real app. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-02, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was online and serving content.
How the scam works
Fake DeFi front ends like this copy the familiar pools interface, then ask visitors to connect a wallet and approve or sign transactions that hand control of their tokens to the operator. Once a victim signs, the attacker can move the approved assets out without any further interaction. The page title reads "Rainbow Company | Pools" rather than Curve branding, while the domain itself impersonates Curve, which is the basis of our classification.
Evidence
Seven of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-10-17: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a modest count, but it is reinforced by crypto-specific blocklists. MetaMask and SEAL both list the domain alongside PhishDestroy, so MetaMask users should see a warning before the page loads. Spamhaus carries it in its DBL as a phishing domain, and four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on 2026-09-01, and PhishDestroy flagged it the next day. A one-day gap like this points to a domain bought specifically for a campaign, not an older site that later went bad. It sits behind Cloudflare's network, with the address geolocated to Canada, so the real origin server is not exposed.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to this site, check its token approvals with a revoke tool and cancel any allowances you do not recognize. Treat any signature made there as compromised, and move remaining funds to a fresh wallet if you approved anything. Always reach Curve through a bookmark you saved yourself, not through search results or ads. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level, add it to wallet and browser warning lists, and report it to Cloudflare and Dynadot for takedown, since it remains live.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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 vww-curve.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)
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

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
