trustsending.live is an impersonation phishing site that borrows Trust Wallet's identity and presents itself as a "USDC Approval Manager" for signature-based token approvals. It targets Trust Wallet users and stablecoin holders who might believe they are managing or securing their USDC permissions. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-09-11. On 2026-10-19 the site was still online and its content was reachable through a redirect.
How the scam works
The page title promises a tool for signature-based token approvals, which is the core of the trick. Instead of asking for a transaction, this kind of page asks the victim to sign an off-chain message such as a permit. That signature can quietly grant a third party the right to move the victim's USDC or other tokens. Because no gas is paid and nothing seems to leave the wallet at signing time, victims often notice only when their balance is drained. The Trust Wallet look exists to make that signature request feel routine and official.
Evidence
Several independent sources agree. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and recognized Trust Wallet branding on it. On 2026-09-11, 7 of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged it: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and Kaspersky. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as phishing, and it is blocked by the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists as well as PhishDestroy's. It also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other analysts have tracked it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Name.com, Inc. on 2026-08-07, about five weeks before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests it was prepared in advance rather than spun up on the spot. It is hosted on Google LLC infrastructure in the United States and serves a free Let's Encrypt certificate. The padlock icon this produces says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you signed anything on this site, treat the wallet as compromised. Review and revoke token approvals and permits for USDC and any other assets with a reputable approval-checking tool. Then move the remaining funds to a fresh wallet whose seed phrase has never been entered or exposed anywhere. If you typed in a recovery phrase, abandon that wallet entirely. Remember that Trust Wallet does not run approval managers on outside domains. Defenders should block trustsending.live at DNS and proxy level, add it to wallet and browser blocklists, and alert users that "approval manager" pages requesting signatures are a common drainer lure.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

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.
