Phishing Scam Impersonating UpFinance
Do NOT use USDT deposit addresses received through external channels (KakaoTalk, social media, search results). Official deposit addresses are issued only inside the UpFinance app.
Reported Incident
In April 2026 a customer reported "sent USDT to UpFinance but never received it." On-chain tracing confirmed the funds went to a third-party routing wallet unrelated to UpFinance.

- 501 USDT (~₩743,484 / ~$370 USD)
Since May 2025 the same address has received 14+ deposits from 12+ distinct senders, automatically forwarded to a Binance hot wallet within 5–20 minutes — a clear automated laundering pattern.
Currently unflagged on TronScan (fresh scam address or OTC routing).

1. Deposit addresses are issued only inside the app
All UpFinance USDT deposit addresses are issued only inside your authenticated app session. Addresses received via KakaoTalk, Telegram, social media, or search results are very likely fraudulent.
2. Always re-verify the address before sending
Reopen the deposit screen in the app immediately before sending. Clipboard-hijacking malware can silently replace a copied address.
3. Never trust unofficial channels
Anyone claiming to be "an UpFinance representative" through external messengers, fake websites, or unofficial channels is a scammer.
4. If suspicious, stop and report
If anything feels off, stop the transfer and contact us via the form below or our official support. If funds were already sent, reporting within 6 hours gives the highest recovery chance.
