Score breakdown

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 getpengu.link
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.
Final Verdict
This is a fake Pudgy Penguins airdrop site that asks users to connect wallets. The domain is only one day old, carries seven malicious detections, and shows zero contact information.
