Trust Wallet Issues Warning Over Fake Crypto Card Website

Trust Wallet’s security team has confirmed that a website advertising a cryptocurrency payment card with unusually generous benefits is fraudulent, warning users against connecting their wallets to the platform. According to CryptoNews, crypto security researcher Daniel, known as @0xDani on X, flagged the website after discovering it used Trust Wallet’s branding to promote a payment card scheme.

Fraudulent Card Details

The fake website promoted three card tiers—Lite, Signature, and Metal—carrying the Trust Wallet name and logo. The platform promised a $100,000 spending limit, up to 8% cashback, airport lounge access, zero foreign exchange fees, and no Know Your Customer verification requirements. The site claimed to hold licenses in four countries and advertised card issuance for just $1.

However, the scheme required users to connect their cryptocurrency wallets to access the advertised benefits. Security researcher Daniel and Trust Wallet security team representative James Bro confirmed the website has no association with the company.

Security Warnings and Wallet Risks

James Bro directed users to obtain legitimate offerings exclusively through the company's official application and website, warning against approving suspicious wallet connection requests or signatures.

Fraudulent cryptocurrency websites frequently attempt to obtain access to user assets by persuading them to approve malicious transactions or sign permissions that mimic legitimate services. While a wallet connection alone does not automatically grant transfer permissions, subsequent transaction requests or signatures can authorize smart contracts to move funds without requiring recovery phrases.
