Impersonation website scams#
Last modified: August 10, 2026
An impersonation website is a fake site that copies a real brand or product. This is also called website spoofing. The fake site may imitate CenturionDEX, a wallet, a token project, an explorer, or a claim page.
What it looks like#
You search for CenturionDEX and click a sponsored result. The page looks familiar, but the wallet request asks you to approve an unknown contract before swapping. The site is not the CenturionDEX interface; it is using the brand copy to make you sign a malicious request.
How fake sites trick users#
Attackers may:
- Use a name, logo, color, or layout that looks like the real site.
- Register a lookalike domain with a small spelling change.
- Buy ads so the fake page appears above organic results.
- Send the link in Telegram, Discord, email, or a fake support chat.
- Create a fake airdrop, migration, refund, or wallet-verification page.
- Show a normal-looking connect button before presenting a harmful approval.
Checks before connecting a wallet#
- Open CenturionDEX only from an official source you reached independently.
- Compare the full domain, not only the page title or logo.
- Be cautious of links shared in direct messages, comments, or ads.
- Cancel if the wallet request does not match the action you started.
- If your wallet, browser, or internet provider warns that a site is suspicious, do not continue.
- Consider using a reputable transaction-screening browser extension that flags malicious sites and signatures, but do not treat any tool as a guarantee.
If you connected or signed#
Disconnecting the site is not enough. Review allowances, NFT operator approvals, permit-style signatures, and smart-account permissions. Revoke anything you do not recognize and move assets to a new wallet if a recovery phrase or private key was exposed.
