[[File:Curvefinance.jpg|thumb|Curve Finance]]A user was tricked after visiting what they believed to be the Curve Finance website through a Google advertisement. They permanently lost 20 BTC.

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

== About Curve Finance ==
"Recently, a user suffered a phishing attack while visiting the Curve exchange website, and lost 20 Bitcoins. It is reported that the fraud group used the Google advertising system to purchase Google search ads, pretending to be the Curve exchange for fraudulent advertising. Due to google’s new advertising program, ads are usually displayed in the first place in search, which has caused many users to be deceived."

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

The background of the exchange platform, service, or individuals involved, as it would have been seen or understood at the time of the events.

Include:

* Known history of when and how the service was started.
* What problems does the company or service claim to solve?
* What marketing materials were used by the firm or business?
* Audits performed, and excerpts that may have been included.
* Business registration documents shown (fake or legitimate).
* How were people recruited to participate?
* Public warnings and announcements prior to the event.

Don't Include:

* Any wording which directly states or implies that the business is/was illegitimate, or that a vulnerability existed.
* Anything that wasn't reasonably knowable at the time of the event.
There could be more than one section here. If the same platform is involved with multiple incidents, then it can be linked to a main article page.

== The Reality ==
This sections is included if a case involved deception or information that was unknown at the time. Examples include:

* When the service was actually started (if different than the "official story").
* Who actually ran a service and their own personal history.
* How the service was structured behind the scenes. (For example, there was no "trading bot".)
* Details of what audits reported and how vulnerabilities were missed during auditing.

== What Happened ==
The specific events of the loss and how it came about. What actually happened to cause the loss and some of the events leading up to it.
