arcape.fun is a phishing page that impersonates a crypto project branded ARC, greeting visitors with the headline "Ape into the ARC" to pull in traders eager to buy early. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-15. When last checked on 2026-10-19 the site was still alive and its content resolved through a redirect, so the lure remains active.
How the scam works
The "Ape into" wording is aimed at speculative buyers who act fast on new tokens. Impersonation pages like this borrow a project's name and branding, then route the visitor into a fake buy, presale or claim flow. That flow usually asks for a wallet connection and a signature or transfer. Instead of tokens, the victim sends funds or grants permissions to an address controlled by the operators. The redirect means the page can hand visitors off to a different destination at any time, so what one person sees may not match what the next person gets.
Evidence
Independent coverage is thin. On 2026-09-29 VirusTotal showed 5 detections out of 91 engines, from alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. Most security tools will not warn a visitor yet. The domain appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers have linked it to malicious activity. Among blocklists, it is currently listed only by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Namecheap on 2026-09-06, just nine days before PhishDestroy caught it. That short gap is typical of throwaway domains spun up for a single campaign. Traffic runs through Cloudflare, with the edge address geolocated to Canada, so the real origin server is hidden behind the proxy. The certificate from Google Trust Services is issued automatically, so the browser padlock says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to arcape.fun, check its token approvals with a revocation tool and cancel any you do not recognize. If you signed a transaction you did not fully understand, move your remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Never share a seed phrase with any site claiming to be ARC. Only use links that the real project announces through its official channels. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and add it to wallet and browser warning lists. Abuse reports to Cloudflare and Namecheap can help shorten the site's lifespan.

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.
