Crypto scam / wallet-drainer
Flagged on major browser safety blocklists as social engineering. Signals match fake investment platforms and wallet drainers. Never connect a wallet, paste a seed phrase, or deposit crypto here.
Is arcpay-tan.vercel.app legit or a scam?
Newly created Vercel subdomain offering USDC swaps on Arc testnet, flagged by browser blocklists and lacking any verifiable business presence.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The site appears to be a professionally designed landing page for a cryptocurrency payment protocol currently in a testnet phase; while it has some minor rendering issues with icons, it lacks typical scam indicators.

Intelligence
The domain arcpay-tan.vercel.app was created today and hosts a landing page for a stablecoin payment tool on the Arc testnet. Our browser blocklist feeds flagged the page for social engineering, which is a strong automated signal. The site displays prominent wallet-connect buttons typical of crypto applications, yet provides no email, phone, or address for support. No business registration records exist for ArcPay or this deployment. While the page content matches descriptions of legitimate testnet demos, the combination of zero-age domain, blocklist hit, and missing contact details raises the risk that this is a wallet-drainer template deployed under the cover of a testnet project.

What to do
Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators
The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.
- Do not interact with arcpay-tan.vercel.app
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Never paste your seed phrase anywhere
Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.
- If you already connected a wallet
Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.
- OpenReport the wallet and URL
File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
Safer Alternatives
Trying to handle crypto? Use a safe option instead
Dealing with crypto? Use a regulated, well-established exchange rather than an unknown site — and never connect your wallet or enter a seed phrase on a page you can't verify.
Publicly-listed, regulated US exchange.
Long-established, regulated exchange.
Regulated US exchange & custodian.
Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.
