37 Threat

PhishDestroy AI

MEDIUM

The domain claim-stake.io has been identified as a phishing site that impersonates cryptocurrency services. With a VirusTotal detection score of 3/95, it poses a risk to users seeking to engage with legitimate cryptocurrency platforms. Scamadviser rates this domain as very likely unsafe with a trust score of 16, citing concerns including hidden ownership and a very young domain age.

Registered just 3 days ago with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, this domain uses an IP address of 104.21.93.115. Scamadviser warns that the registrar is popular among scammers, and the site's low Tranco rank indicates minimal traffic. While it holds a valid SSL certificate, which is a common tactic to appear legitimate, the overall trustworthiness is severely lacking.

Currently, the domain is taken down and PhishDestroy has reported it, contributing to its removal from active use. Continuous monitoring is in place to ensure the domain does not reappear or rebrand to target users again.

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 →
