According to Certik Alert, which describes itself as Web3's leading smart contract auditor and provides a comprehensive suite of tools to secure the industry at scale, Harvest Keeper turned out to be a fraudulent project.

In their tweet dated March 19, Certik Alert writes that they can confirm that Harvest Keeper is a scam. “At the time of writing, we can confirm ~$933k of users' assets have been stolen. Revoke permissions to EOA: 0x250ce5a8d8a8f0345fb8708e0575c8ede7710c14. Do not interact with the project's URL,” reads the tweet.

The company adds that the Harvest_Keeper contract was drained by a privileged get Amount` function, which transferred ~$709k USDT to EOA 0x027c8. Contract bsc: 0x28120471E1e42e15a71Af5E39cA9f93099F34d2d. The funds are currently held in EOA 0x92288.

“At the same time, user assets have been stolen through ice phishing transactions across BSC, Ethereum, and Polygon. Across the 3 chains, ~$219k have been stolen in ice phishing transactions so far. Stolen assets transferred to EOA 0x15a8a,” they write.

Harvest Keeper claimed that its project relied on artificial intelligence to “optimize the trading process for maximum payout” and promised to return 4.81% of deposits.

At the time of writing, the company's Twitter handle, website, and Medium page are unavailable.

Some victims have already come forward, asking the community how to recover their funds. Unfortunately, the options provided by some users — Earn Back Experts and Harvest Keeper Support — appear questionable, as the former only features three tweets, while the latter has only one follower.

On March 15, Certik Alert confirmed that Poolz Finance was a scam. A total of five fraudulent schemes have been identified this month alone.

As previously reported by GNcrypto, Arkham revealed that the Arbitrum network transferred funds to 2,400 wallets that may have been hacked.
