Evidence score
56/100

Analysis of cryptoguard.finance indicates this domain was actively hosting phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users before being taken offline. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3, part of Cloudflare's network (AS13335). Nameservers earl.ns.cloudflare.com and nataly.ns.cloudflare.com were in use, and the site employed Cloudflare's CDN with HTTP/3 support. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate.

At the time of assessment on July 23, 2026, the domain returned a 522 connection timeout error, suggesting either deliberate takedown or infrastructure failure. Prior to going offline, the page title displayed 'cryptoguard.finance | 522: Connection timed out,' which does not reveal specific content but aligns with patterns seen in compromised or hastily abandoned phishing sites. Two of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, and it appeared on one security blocklist, corroborating its classification as phishing-related. No specific cryptocurrency brand or exchange was named in available metadata, so the exact target remains unconfirmed.

However, the domain name itself suggests an attempt to deceive users seeking wallet protection or security services. Defenders should treat this domain as part of a broader phishing campaign, particularly in environments where cryptocurrency transactions occur. Network-level blocking of 188.114.97.3 and monitoring for related domains using the same registrar or Cloudflare nameservers is recommended. Given its current offline status, further forensic analysis may require historical DNS or web content archives.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with cryptoguard.finance — 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 cryptoguard.finance)
  • 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 — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

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 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • 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
