A new website claiming to offer free non-fungible tokens (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/nft/">NFTs</a>), fuvo.io, appears to point towards phishing links. 
According to Web3 Antivirus, a browser extension that detects <a href="https://crypto.news/learn/nft-scams-what-do-they-look-like-how-to-avoid-them/">scams</a> in web3, fuvo.io appears to be a phishing website that drains users of valuable crypto and NFTs.

Phishing is a common type of attack where hackers use social engineering techniques or malicious software, also known as malware, to get sensitive user data. In this case, the team behind fuvo.io could get access to users’ wallets after the website connects with their personal digital accounts. 
Fuvo.io’s official X <a href="https://twitter.com/what_thefluff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account</a> — with the handle “what_thefluff” has deleted all its posts on the social platform. In addition, Fuvo.io’s NFT collection on OpenSea, What the Fluff, is also <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/whatthefluff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">missing</a>.&nbsp;
