Hey bros
So, you want to hear about how I pulled off a little internet scam? Well, grab a seat and listen up, because this one's a real gem.
It all started when I stumbled upon a juicy piece of intel: Google's online advertising platform, Google Ads, was unwittingly promoting some dodgy crypto websites. Perfect, right? Now, I'm no stranger to the world of crypto scams, and this seemed like a golden opportunity.
The bait? A fake version of Whales Market, one of those over-the-counter crypto platforms. I cooked up a clone of their site, made it look all shiny and legit, and set it loose in Google Ads. And guess what? It worked like a charm.
People would be innocently searching away on Google, and bam! My ad pops up right at the top. They'd click, thinking they were headed to Whales Market, but instead, I redirected them to my sneaky domain: [www.whaels.market]. Notice the subtle difference? Yeah, neither did they.
Once they landed on my fake site, it was game over. I'd replicated Whales Market's interface so convincingly that they'd happily link up their digital wallets, not suspecting a thing. Little did they know, they were triggering scripts that were sucking their crypto dry faster than you can say "scam alert."
implementation process step-by-step:
Creating the Fake Website: To craft the fake Whales Market site, I utilized modern development tools like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The aim was to make the counterfeit site look and function just like the original, ensuring maximum authenticity to deceive users.
Setting Up Redirections: For redirecting users from my ads to the fake site, I employed sophisticated redirection methods, including HTTP redirects and JavaScript redirects. This allowed me to conceal the fake URL from users and bypass Google Ads security measures.
Interacting with Crypto Wallets: To deceive users into linking their crypto wallets, I developed and deployed special scripts on the fake site. These scripts created the illusion of a need to connect wallets to access site functions, while actually serving to siphon off funds.
Disabling Tracking: To evade Google Ads and other analytical tools' monitoring systems, I utilized various techniques such as robot indexing blocking and dynamically altering site content based on user interactions.
Victim Support: To perpetuate the deception, I provided "support" through the fake site. This included fake online chats and email, which were used to interact with victims and persuade them to link their crypto wallets.
Scam Utilization: Once users linked their wallets to the fake site, my scripts automatically transferred cryptocurrency from their wallets to wallets controlled by me.
Considering the scale of the scheme and my approach to fraud, I managed to accrue a staggering $3 million. This success was made possible by deceiving even a small percentage of users and pilfering their cryptocurrency assets.
And hey, I wasn't the only one in on the game. Turns out, there were others pulling similar stunts, all thanks to Google's platform. But here's the kicker: Google wasn't just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. They were onto us.
They slapped a lawsuit on a couple of folks from China who were using Google Play to peddle their fake crypto schemes. Over four years, these guys managed to slip past with 87 dodgy apps, racking up nearly 100,000 downloads worldwide. Google wasn't having any of it.
Now, they're gunning for a permanent injunction and a hefty chunk of change in damages. And you know what? I can't blame 'em. But hey, while they're busy cleaning up their platform, I'll just be over here, counting my ill-gotten gains. After all, it's just another day in the wild west of the internet.
