tokenbonus.online is an impersonation phishing site. Its name promises a token bonus, and it was built to pass as a legitimate crypto service. Its listing by MetaMask and SEAL shows it was aimed at people holding crypto in self-custody wallets. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-08-17. The domain has been offline since 2026-09-11, and its DNS was still inactive when we last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Bonus-themed impersonation pages offer free tokens, an airdrop or a reward that has to be claimed. The claim step is the trap. Victims are asked to connect a wallet and sign a transaction, or to type in a recovery phrase to verify eligibility. Either way, the attacker gains the ability to move the victim's tokens and NFTs, and those transfers usually cannot be reversed. When last captured, the page title read "Just a moment...", which is a browser-check screen rather than the branded content behind our impersonation classification.
Evidence
On 2026-08-30, five of 91 VirusTotal engines rated the domain malicious: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a low ratio, so many security products would not have blocked it. The more telling signals come from crypto-specific sources. MetaMask's phishing list and SEAL both carry the domain alongside PhishDestroy, and those are the lists that trigger warnings inside wallets. Three AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference it, which means other researchers tracked it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. and served from Cloudflare, Inc. network space, with the address geolocated to Canada. Because Cloudflare acts as a proxy, the real origin server stays hidden. Its certificate came from Google Trust Services (WE1). The padlock it produced only meant the connection was encrypted, not that the site was trustworthy.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to tokenbonus.online, use a token-approval checker to revoke any allowances or permissions you granted there. If you typed your recovery phrase into the site, treat the wallet as compromised. Create a fresh wallet on a new phrase and move whatever remains, starting with your most valuable assets. Be wary of anyone offering to recover lost funds for a fee, because that is a common follow-up scam. Security teams should block the domain, search DNS and proxy logs from 2026-08-17 onward for any visits, and watch for new bonus or airdrop lookalike domains that use the same naming pattern.

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.

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
