Threat Level

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. 도메인 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 보고서, 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

도메인 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)

긴급 messaging: "Your wallet may be flagged" or "확인 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 확인 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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fake AML 확인 Scam?

It's a phishing attack where fake websites impersonate legitimate AML compliance tools like AMLBot.com. They trick users into connecting their crypto wallets for a fake "compliance check," which actually triggers a smart contract that drains all assets. The real AMLBot only needs a wallet address typed as text — it never asks for wallet connections.

How many fake AML domains has PhishDestroy detected?

PhishDestroy currently tracks over 1,054 domains related to AML scams, including typosquats of AMLBot, generic fake AML checkers, and sites using "aml-verify" or "aml-check" in their names. The number grows daily as scammers register new domains.

How do I check if an AML site is legitimate?

The only official AMLBot website is amlbot.com. Any other domain claiming to be AMLBot is a scam. You can verify any domain at PhishDestroy.io. Red flags: wallet connection requests, recently registered domain, promotion via Telegram DMs or ads.

What should I do if I connected my wallet to a fake AML site?

Act immediately: 1) Transfer ALL remaining funds to a brand new wallet, 2) 토큰 승인 취소 using revoke.cash, 3) 보고서 to authorities (FTC, FBI IC3), 4) Document everything (transaction hashes, screenshots, URLs). Never pay anyone claiming they can "recover" your funds.
