Beware of XPR scams involving same-name Vaulta accounts
Scammers have recently been using promises of "XPR arbitrage," "high returns," and "automatic conversion" to trick users into making transfers. They create the illusion that the conversion was successful and returns were credited by exploiting same-name accounts on different networks.
The scammer first guides the user to create a Vaulta account, then registers an account with the same name on XPR Network. Although the two accounts share the same name, they belong to different networks, and the assets and control of each account are entirely separate. The XPR Network account is controlled by the scammer.
The scammer then asks the user to buy XPR on an exchange and withdraw it to the identically named account via XPR Network, which some platforms may still label as PROTON.
In reality, the XPR is sent to the scammer-controlled account. To gain trust, the scammer may send a small amount of A tokens to the user's Vaulta account, or even guide the user to sell the tokens and withdraw the proceeds, creating the illusion of a small profit.
Once the user transfers a larger amount, the scammer stops making the promised payouts and transfers the XPR away.
Tips:
- imToken supports Vaulta, but does not support XPR Network. Do not use a Vaulta account name for XPR withdrawals.
- Before making a transfer, always check that the token, account, and network match. To receive A tokens on Vaulta, select the Vaulta network. If the withdrawal page shows XPR Network or PROTON, do not enter a Vaulta account name.
- Do not trust promises of "high returns," "stable arbitrage," or "automatic conversion," and do not buy, withdraw, or transfer assets under the guidance of strangers or so-called customer support.
- If you have encountered a similar situation, stop transferring assets immediately. Save the chat history, account names, transaction hashes, and withdrawal records, then report the case to your local police.
