The scammers behind the website chose the domain name "Yaerm.finance," making it look extremely similar to "Yearn.finace."

Finance page that looks exactly like Yearn Finance's official website.

After scrolling down from the first window that appears, one finds that the website contains a strange guide to "Seven easy hairstyles."

Similar to the original website, the scam website also has six different options in the first window.

Another website is posing as Trust Wallet to cheat crypto users.
