Same scam pattern has also been used by SamFW. Tungtata, a Vietnamese scammer, advertises on the internet that his ‘tool’ can remove FRP and other issues, but what it actually does is install malware on the victim’s computer. A similar scam has also been reported in MSN News, where malware is being installed through games. Tungtata did the same thing to his SamFW tool as well.
Another example of the same scheme is cryptocurrency trading bots contain malware and follow the same scam patterns.
Same scam patterns / method (how the scheme typically works):
Social engineering via a fake “legit tool”: attacker markets a “one-click” FRP removal / support tool (or trading bot / game-related download) to earn trust and drive downloads.
Malicious payload hidden inside the installer/package: the tool appears to be the promised utility, but the installer contains malware (e.g., RAT/trojan) or drops additional malicious files after execution.
Pre-positioning to steal/monitor wallet access: once installed, the malware targets the victim’s crypto wallet(s)/browser data and can watch for wallet activity.
Funds theft shortly after installation: the scam often empties wallets quickly (e.g., moving crypto out with unauthorized approvals/transactions).
Anti-forensics / “version replacement”: after the theft, the attacker updates the download package (e.g., v5.5 replacing v5.4) and/or removes the exact version tied to evidence.
Attacks across different themes but same delivery chain: FRP tools, trading bots, or even “games on Steam” are just different packaging/delivery lures—the underlying pattern is malware distribution + wallet compromise + rapid monetization.
Malwarebytes Senior Research Engineer ran a test on the file and found a malicious payload.

What exactly happened to us is that all my files and private crypto wallet seeds were stolen after I installed SamFwToolSetup_v5.4.zip. Then few hours later, my funds were drained.
I’m doing my best to provide all the details to the community so no one gets scammed by this scam tool created by Đặng Thanh Tùng (also shown as Tungtata / Đặng Thanh Tùng). I will continue to share my findings, and he will stay online and be watched. I will expose his scam network, which has been operating for years to earn trust. Now he has decided to scam people secretly, but if we keep the community tight, I believe everyone can see the truth.
You may see on everywhere posts and videos advertise the “SamFw FRP Tool,” claiming it can remove FRP and change CSC with one click. However, there is a hidden danger inside the download. The tool appears to function, but it also include malware that installs on the computer, scans private files, and targets sensitive items such as private keys or crypto wallets. If such data is found, it can lead to theft and deletion of files.
I am one of the victims. I lost $3 million after installing a file called “SamFwToolSetup_v5.4.zip.” My wallet drained the same day, and the software was later updated to “SamFwToolSetup_v5.5.1.zip.”
I am reporting this because I believe the “SamFw FRP Tool” is a scam. Do not install it be careful.
Don’t install “SamFw FRP Tool.” This is a scam. no virus claims are fake, and the installer can contain malware that puts private files and crypto wallets at risk. Drains wallets and wipes data after installation. We had an issue after running SamFwToolSetup_v5.4.zip, and the same day they update the tool to SamFwToolSetup_v5.5.1.zip.
Some ads claim one-click FRP removal and one-click CSC changes. Those claims do not match reality. Instead, the installer can compromise devices, search for sensitive data (including private keys), steal it, and then erase data.
We were affected and lost money after installing the setup.
I was a victim. I lost $3 million after installing the file.
