event-community.net is an impersonation phishing page built around Ripple. It used the title "Brad Garlinghouse 100,000,000 #XRP Reward Program" to pose as an official giveaway from Ripple's CEO and to lure XRP holders. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-15. The site has been offline since 2026-10-17, with its content blocked by the provider, and it was still down at the last check on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake CEO giveaways like this borrow a famous name and an enormous prize pool to make a too-good-to-be-true offer feel official. The usual demand is a "verification" or "participation" transfer of XRP, with a promise that the sender will receive a multiplied amount back. Some versions instead ask visitors to enter a wallet secret phrase to "claim" the reward. No reward ever arrives. Any XRP sent is gone for good, and a disclosed secret phrase gives the scammers full control of the wallet.
Evidence
Google Safe Browsing labels the domain as social engineering. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and recognised Ripple branding on the page. On VirusTotal, only 1 of 92 engines (SOCRadar) flagged it as of 2026-10-15. That low count reflects how new the domain was, and it does not mean the site is safe. The domain also appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-12 through Global Domain Group LLC and was already serving the fake reward page when PhishDestroy saw it three days later. That short gap fits a throwaway domain set up for a single campaign. Traffic went through Cloudflare (AS13335) in the US, which hides the operator's origin server from visitors.
What to do
If you sent XRP to this "reward program", treat the funds as lost and do not send more to "unlock" a payout. Report the transaction to the exchange or wallet provider you used, and be wary of anyone who later offers to recover the money for a fee. If you typed your secret phrase into the site, create a new wallet on a trusted device right away and move any remaining assets there. Remember that Ripple and its executives do not run giveaways that require you to send funds first. Defenders should block event-community.net and watch for new domains that reuse Garlinghouse or XRP reward wording.

我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
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.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
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?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
