PhishDestroy added elon-finance.com to its internal blocklist on 2026-10-22 after an intake review flagged the domain because VirusTotal reported three malicious detections. The recorded page title claims an "Elon Musk — Official ETH and BTC Reward Program," suggesting a fake reward scheme. An HTTP 200 response was observed on the same date, confirming the site was reachable at that time.
How the scam works
Impersonation of a well‑known public figure is a common phishing tactic that lures visitors into believing they can claim cryptocurrency rewards, often to harvest login credentials or persuade users to send funds. While the page itself was not examined for malicious forms, the classification reflects the risk of credential or crypto‑asset theft typical of such schemes.
Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-22 and returned four detections, with three vendors (DNS8, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar) marking it malicious and one (alphaMountain.ai) marking it suspicious. Google Safe Browsing checked the same day and did not flag the URL. URLScan captured the site on 2026-10-22, assigning a malicious verdict with a score of 100 and categorising it as phishing. External blocklists MetaMask and SEAL also listed the domain, and PhishDestroy’s internal list marks it as blocked.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-18 through Global Domain Group LLC, and the registration record shows a client‑transfer‑prohibited status. Hosting is provided by Cloudflare, with recorded IP addresses 104.21.50.225 and 172.67.167.165, and the site presented a Let’s Encrypt TLS certificate valid until 2027-01-19. No DNSSEC signatures were observed.
What to do
Visitors should avoid entering any personal data, wallet addresses, or credentials on the site; if such information was submitted, change passwords immediately and monitor associated accounts for unauthorized activity. Defenders should block elon-finance.com at the network perimeter, add the recorded IPs to threat‑intel feeds, and review logs for any connections to the domain. Continue to monitor reputable blocklists for updates on this indicator.

Is elon-finance.com safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on elon-finance.com. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
What should I do if I used elon-finance.com?
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
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
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
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 elon-finance.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)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
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 phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
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
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
