Thanks for the kind comment @beiker

That's the thing, all the transactions on the scam page are fake - it's just a bit of JavaScript and CSS magic. All the links for transactions and wallets point back to the scam page itself.

The transactions in the real scam address looks pretty real to me. If the scammers were really smart, they would set up several real ETH accounts and then send and receive ETH with the scam wallet so that they show up on a real blockchain explorer as transactions. Maybe they might do this in version 2.0 of the scam :-)
