NFT Theft Reported Following Etherscan Phishing Attack
In November 2022, a phishing attack caused a Psychedelic NFT investor to lose their Psychonaut NFT. The investor reported the theft on Twitter and blamed the site for not being able to help him get back his stolen NFT.
This is the type of stuff that makes me sick in this space. I picked up @PsychonautApeD a few months back even paid .5 ETH for one of them. And I check my wallet and some scum bag stole them?! And then sold them for .03 ETH?!? pic.twitter.com/vQhZnyGFh4

A Twitter user named MetaLif3 replied to the victim and said they had been tricked into visiting a fake website, which caused their money to be stolen. After the attacker sold the Psychonaut NFT, the money from the trade was sent to the Fake Phishing7064 address.
Be very careful when interacting with Fake Phishing7046 and other accounts like it. Fake Phishing7030, Fake Phishing6103, and Fake Phishing7045 are all similar accounts that you should keep a close eye on. Also, Etherscan just released ETH Protect, which lets users protect their accounts by finding bad ETH addresses and marking them.
