KEY POINTS

  • Scammers stole four NFTs from Seth Green's online wallet, the actor says
  • The digital assets had a combined value of $308,000
  • Online marketplace OpenSea has labeled Green's NFTs "suspicious" and banned their sale

Seth Green lost four non-fungible tokens (NFTs) worth more than $300,000 in a phishing attack, the actor says.

"Well frens (sic), it happened to me. Got phished and had [four NFTs] stolen," Green, 48, announced on Twitter Sunday.

Based on the history of Green's NFT wallet, the digital assets were stolen on May 8, CNet reported.

Green had connected his wallet to a scam website while trying to buy Gutter Clone NFTs, the actor explained in another post.


"[P]hishing link looked clean," said Green, who requested NFT-based marketplaces like OpenSea, among others, to halt the purchase or trade of his stolen tokens.

The most expensive digital asset to be taken from Green's wallet was a piece from the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection, which was reportedly valued at $200,000. Two Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFTs that cost $40,000 each as well as a $28,000 Doodles NFT made up the rest of the phished tokens.
