This domain, apex-berkley[.]com, is flagged as a high-risk phishing resource targeting university credentials. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 16, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently associated with newly created malicious domains. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 185.66.140.182, which has been linked to prior phishing campaigns, though specific historical associations remain unverified. Only one security vendor in VirusTotal's dataset has flagged this domain as malicious, suggesting either limited detection at this stage or a targeted campaign with narrow exposure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic among threat actors to mimic legitimate sites and evade basic browser warnings. The domain appears on a single security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which classifies it as a generic phishing threat. The naming convention, incorporating 'berkley'—a plausible misspelling of 'Berkeley'—suggests an intent to impersonate an educational institution, though no direct evidence confirms the exact brand being spoofed. The low detection rate across security vendors may indicate either a new campaign or the use of evasion techniques to bypass automated analysis. Defenders should treat this domain as actively malicious based on its presence on a reputable blocklist and its resolution to a known suspicious IP. Network-level blocking of 185.66.140.182 and apex-berkley[.]com is recommended, particularly for organizations in the education sector. Monitoring for similar domain registrations through TuringSign Inc. may help identify related threats. Given the domain's recent registration and low detection rate, additional scrutiny of SSL certificate issuance patterns and DNS resolution changes is advised to track potential campaign evolution. No evidence currently links this domain to a specific phishing kit or advanced persistent threat group, limiting attribution beyond generic credential harvesting activity.

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 apex-berkley.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 apex-berkley.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
