The AML Check That Could Cost You Crypto

Scammers have found a more sophisticated way to get to your assets: offering to check whether your crypto is “clean” first.

A fake AML service can look convincing, and the process itself feels familiar and safe. You enter an address, the website simulates transaction history analysis and walks you through the stages of the check. Then comes a request to connect your wallet, approve an action, or even send a small amount supposedly to complete the analysis.

That’s where the AML check ends and phishing begins.

That’s Not How AML Works

For a basic check, a service only needs a public wallet address or transaction hash. The transaction history is already on-chain, so it can be analyzed without access to the wallet itself.

There’s no need to connect your wallet, sign transactions, grant token permissions, or send funds to complete the check.

Scammers Have Learned to Sell Safety

What stands out about this scheme is the social engineering behind it. Instead of tempting users with easy money, scammers target their desire to protect what they already have.

Fake analysis, familiar AML language, and the promise of a risk score make the process feel legitimate. Against that backdrop, connecting a wallet can seem like just another technical step, followed by a request to sign a transaction or grant access to your assets.

Security Starts With the Service You Choose

Scams evolve alongside the industry. As AML checks and other security tools become more common, scammers are increasingly likely to imitate them. So don’t just check the wallet. Check the service you trust to do it.

With BitOK, a public wallet address or transaction hash is enough for a basic check. There’s no need to connect your wallet, share your seed phrase, or grant access to your assets.
