How This Attack Works
The scam exploits growing awareness of AML/KYC compliance requirements in crypto. Users who want to verify their funds are "clean" land on a convincing clone and unknowingly authorize a wallet drainer.
STEP 1
Lure via Search & Social
Victims encounter fake AML check sites through Google Ads, Telegram DMs, social media posts, or SEO-poisoned search results for queries like "check wallet AML" or "is my crypto clean."
STEP 2
Clone Legitimate UI
The site closely mimics the official AMLBot.com design, branding, and interface. Some clones replicate staff profiles and create fake Telegram accounts impersonating AMLBot team members.
STEP 3
Request Wallet Connection
Unlike the real AMLBot (which only needs a wallet address as text input), the fake site asks users to "connect wallet" via MetaMask or WalletConnect to "generate an AML report."
STEP 4
Drain Assets via Smart Contract
The wallet connection triggers a malicious smart contract (setApprovalForAll or token approval) that scans all tokens/NFTs, prioritizes highest-value assets, and drains everything to attacker-controlled wallets. Transactions are irreversible.
Technical Analysis
The AML scam ecosystem uses sophisticated infrastructure. Domini typically use .com, .org, .app TLDs registered through privacy-friendly registrars (NICENIC, WEBCC account for 163+ domains). Many use Cloudflare CDN for legitimacy.
The drainer mechanism is identical to other wallet-connect phishing: upon connection, the site calls setApprovalForAll() or increaseAllowance() on the victim's token contracts. The drainer scans all assets, estimates value, and prioritizes extraction of highest-value tokens first.
According to AMLBot's 2025 Crypto Crime Relazione, 65% of crypto incidents are driven by social engineering rather than technical exploits, with phishing ranking as the #2 attack type (18% of all incidents).
Key technical indicators: domains containing 'aml', 'amlbot', 'aml-check', 'aml-verify' in the URL; wallet connection prompts (the real AMLBot never requires this); recently registered domains; missing or fake SSL certificates.

How to Detect
Site asks to "connect wallet" — the real AMLBot only needs a wallet ADDRESS as text input, never a wallet connection
Dominio contains "aml" variations: amlbot, aml-check, aml-verify, amlcrypto (verify against official amlbot.com)
Recently registered domain (check WHOIS — legitimate AML services have years of history)
Urgente messaging: "Your wallet may be flagged" or "Controlla compliance before funds are frozen"
Promoted via Telegram DMs, Google Ads, or unsolicited emails instead of organic search
How to Protect Yourself
1
Bookmark the official AMLBot at amlbot.com — never click links from ads, DMs, or emails
2
Remember: legitimate AML tools only need a wallet address (text), never a wallet connection or private keys
3
Controlla any AML domain on PhishDestroy before interacting with it
4
Use a separate "burner" wallet with minimal funds when testing any new DeFi/Web3 service
5
If you connected your wallet to a suspicious site: immediately transfer remaining funds to a NEW wallet and revoke approvals at revoke.cash
