PhishDestroy has identified ig-recovery[.]com as an active phishing domain posing as an Instagram account recovery service, targeting users affected by account lockouts or hacking incidents. The domain is currently under investigation but remains active, posing a credible threat to social media users seeking legitimate account recovery assistance. The specificity of the threat—masquerading as an Instagram recovery service—significantly increases the risk of credential theft and account compromise, as victims are likely to engage with the site under the assumption of legitimate support. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after analysis revealed several high-risk indicators. Ig-recovery.com was created on September 19, 2025, and resolves to IP address 104.21.11.246. It is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend it an air of legitimacy to unsuspecting victims. Despite its recent appearance, the domain has not yet been flagged by VirusTotal anti-malware engines, with 0 out of 95 detection engines marking it as malicious at the time of analysis. This low detection rate suggests a potentially emerging threat that has yet to be widely recognized by security vendors. The combination of a freshly registered domain, a reputable SSL issuer, and absent detections creates a deceptive appearance of trustworthiness, which is a common tactic employed by threat actors to evade detection. To mitigate exposure to this threat, users should avoid engaging with unsolicited account recovery prompts, especially those directing them to third-party websites. Instagram account recovery should only be initiated through the official platform or application. If you suspect your account has been compromised, use the verified recovery process within the Instagram app or visit help.instagram.com directly. Organizations and individuals should consider blocking the domain ig-recovery[.]com at the DNS level and reporting the site to Instagram and relevant cybersecurity authorities such as the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or local cybercrime units. Proactive monitoring of newly registered domains with similar naming conventions (e.g., containing 'ig-' or '-recovery') is also recommended to prevent future exposure to this attack vector.

Evidence & External Reports

Were You Affected by This Site?

You are not alone and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Scammers are sophisticated criminals who exploit trust. Reporting your experience is the most powerful weapon against fraud — your report can prevent others from becoming victims and help law enforcement take action. Silence is the scammer's greatest advantage. Break it.

If you have interacted with this domain, entered personal information, or connected a cryptocurrency wallet — take immediate action. Below are resources to help you report the incident and protect yourself.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with ig-recovery.com — act now.

What should I do immediately?
Urgent
  • Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
  • Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines

According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:

  • Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g., 0x5856...35985)
  • Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
  • Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including ig-recovery.com)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?
  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
  • Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.

How do crypto scams typically work?
  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
  • Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
  • Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
  • $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
  • Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
  • Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
  • FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
