Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, goldcoin-trade.com, is flagged as a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment platform designed to deceive users into depositing funds under false promises of hourly profits and guaranteed returns. Analysis indicates the site operates as a classic advance-fee scam, targeting individuals interested in Bitcoin, Litecoin, PerfectMoney, Payeer, Advcash, and bank wire investments. The page title explicitly advertises "Hourly Invest" and "Instant Pay," which are common lures used to create a sense of urgency and legitimacy. Victims are typically prompted to transfer cryptocurrency or fiat currency to wallets controlled by the threat actors, with no actual investment or return occurring. The site may also harvest personal and financial information during the registration process, further exposing users to identity theft or follow-up phishing attacks. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of this domain. Goldcoin-trade.com was registered on October 25, 2025, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. VirusTotal detections show that 4 out of 95 security vendors flag the domain as malicious, with classifications including phishing and fraud. The domain resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.108, which has been observed in other fraudulent schemes. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further corroborates the domain's lack of legitimacy, as it reflects a complete absence of reputable online presence or trust signals. Users who have visited goldcoin-trade.com or interacted with the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential harm. If any funds were transferred, contact the relevant financial institution or cryptocurrency exchange to report the fraud and request a transaction review. Monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized activity, including bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, and payment processors such as Payeer or Advcash. Reset passwords for any accounts accessed on or after visiting the site, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Report the domain to local cybercrime authorities and platforms like the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or equivalent agencies. Avoid clicking on any links or downloading files from the domain, and consider using browser-based security tools to block future access. If personal information was submitted, be vigilant for signs of identity theft, such as unexpected credit inquiries or unfamiliar accounts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-0D96A2 Favicon MD5: 19a6cb152b97ce5878d40d690d0e9577 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/goldcoin-trade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=goldcoin-trade.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
