Fake "BNB Chain Verification" site drains your crypto wallet the moment you approve
A fake 'BNB Chain Verification' site prompts you to connect your Trust Wallet or MetaMask. A hidden third permission grants unlimited token allowance; an automated drainer script sweeps your entire wallet in seconds. Loss is irreversible.
Also known as: wallet drainer scam, crypto drainer India, Trust Wallet BNB scam, fake BNB verification

Red flags
- ⚠ No legitimate BNB Chain or Trust Wallet project sends unsolicited DMs asking you to 'verify' your wallet on a third-party site
- ⚠ The URL is slightly wrong: testwallet.site, beptest.org, bep20test.com — not trustwallet.com or bnbchain.org
- ⚠ A wallet permission dialog appears with a third item flagged in red asking to 'move funds without permission' or grant unlimited token allowance
- ⚠ The site claims to resolve a 'compliance error', 'verification hold', or 'account restriction' on your wallet
Known variants
-
Seed phrase phishing: victim receives a message on Telegram, WhatsApp, or email from a fake wallet support team (Trust Wallet, MetaMask, WazirX, CoinDCX) asking them to enter their 12-word recovery phrase on a lookalike verification site. The attacker imports the wallet instantly and drains all tokens — no OTP, no call, no approval dialog required.
