I always use a tumbler to make my bitcoins anonymous, but I couldn’t remember the exact URL of the one I usually go to. So I just googled “bit blender” and opened the top result thinking that it was my go-to tumbler. I was careless and didn’t notice that what I had opened was actually phishing site, a complete carbon copy of the tumbler I used. I went to the login page and put in all of my login information. The site looked identical and the deposit page was very similar to the one I was used to.
I thought something was off when I saw a lack of transactions in my history. The bitcoin blender that I usually use shows you a history of all of the wallet addresses that have been used prior. I just assumed that the site eventually deletes the history after a while and continued on with the transfer.
I sent a little bit over two hundred dollars worth of BTC to the address shown on the fake site.
I waited a little bit, but I wasn’t seeing any traction, so I checked the support page as well as blockchain.info to make sure that my transaction had been verified. It was already confirmed four times.
I messaged the “support team” to see what went wrong and got no responses at all, I then realized I was actually on a fake site.
I went back to the homepage of the fake site to use some made up credentials to log in, it worked, and on the deposit page I saw another address (not mine). I tried logging in again with another set of fake credentials to see that the wallet address changes every time…
