      A victim reported a scam involving the fraudulent website YFIAPP.COM. The scam involved attaching the victim’s wallet to YFIAPP.COM and moving USDC tokens. Unbeknownst to the victim, a “token allowance” was added to their wallet, allowing the scammer to empty the victim’s funds subsequently.

      Details for OSINT Investigations:

      • Fraudulent Website: YFIAPP.COM
      • Type of Scam: Cryptocurrency token allowance exploitation
      • Victim’s Token: USDC

          A new report from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) exposes YFI App (yfiapp.com) as a fraudulent trading platform. According to the complaint, a California resident was lured in through Facebook by an alleged employee of the company, who falsely promised daily returns of 1% to 1.8% on their crypto balance. The victim and other investors were instructed to transfer funds to a specific crypto wallet as part of a “group investment.” However, once the wallet reached a high balance, the scammers connected it to a dapp that drained all the funds. In a final attempt to extract more money, the scammers contacted the victim, claiming that a $200,000 deposit would unlock their stolen funds. The victim ultimately lost over $61,000, and YFI App’s website is no longer operational. This case follows a classic Romance Baiting scam—where fraudsters build trust, encourage more deposits, and ultimately vanish with the money. If you’ve encountered the YFI App or similar scams, report them immediately.

            Essentially they have stolen $54000 by taking my legitimate USDC coin and slamming me into smart contracts and paying me in unsupported USDC version token. I have filed FBI IC3.

            Highly suggest you stay away from these thieves.

                1. Continue Reporting: You’ve already filed a report with the FBI IC3, which is excellent. You should also consider reporting the incident to your local financial regulatory authorities and the platform where you acquired the USDC tokens.
                2. Monitor Your Accounts: Monitor your other accounts for unusual activity. Consider enhancing their security by enabling two-factor authentication and using a hardware wallet for your cryptocurrencies.
                3. Use Crypto Tracing Services: If possible, use cryptocurrency tracing services to track the movement of your stolen funds. Our affiliated company, CNC Intelligence, specializes in such services and might be able to assist you.
