“Goated Market - Immutable zkEVM”
Evidence Summary
Analysis of the domain goated.market, observed on July 24, 2026, indicates an active high‑risk generic phishing operation. The site presents the page title "Goated Market - Immutable zkEVM," which is the only content identifier available. VirusTotal records show that one of ninety‑three security vendors has flagged the domain, providing an early indication of malicious intent. Registration details reveal the domain was created through NameCheap, Inc., and it is served by the nameservers dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com.
Technical fingerprinting identifies the hosting platform as Vercel, with Typekit assets in use and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enabled, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12), and the HTTP response code is 308, indicating a permanent redirect rather than a typical 200 OK page. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP address 76.76.21.93, which belongs to Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) and is geolocated in the United States. The IP is associated with a single security blocklist entry and the domain is actively blocked by PhishDestroy.
Additional reputation data from Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious classification. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeter devices, update URL filtering feeds to include the observed IP and nameserver pair, and monitor for any related indicators of compromise. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the low detection count on VirusTotal may evolve as more scanners assess the site.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with goated.market — 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
goated.market) - 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
