REGISTRAR CLOAKING · CONFIRMED LIVE Listed as “dead” in public DNS — but the site is still serving on CDN
Mechanism: the registry applied client hold or equivalent — removing the domain from its TLD zone, so public resolvers (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.9) return NXDOMAIN. However, the CDN authoritative nameservers still answer queries, and the origin still serves HTTP 200 when contacted with the correct Host header. Victims reach the site via phishing links with cached/DoH-resolved records, defeating a naive “site looks dead” check.

REGISTRAR NEGLIGENCE · CRITICAL Ultahost, Inc. was notified 6 days ago — the threat is still operational.
Why this matters — ICANN RAA §3.18 obligation

On PhishDestroy delivered an evidence-backed abuse report to abuse@ultahost.com with VirusTotal detections, urlscan capture, legal violations, and full screenshot evidence. More than 6 days later, the phishing infrastructure remains reachable (via CDN bypass — even after registry-level DNS suspension).

Under ICANN RAA §3.18 accredited registrars are contractually obliged to “take reasonable and prompt steps to investigate and respond appropriately to any reports of abuse.” Silence beyond 24 hours after a documented notification with verifiable evidence is not a timing issue — it is a policy decision to let the operation continue. PhishDestroy\'s position: where a registrar fails to act on clear evidence, the registrar has aligned itself with the operator of the scheme and bears co-responsibility for downstream harm caused to victims from the moment of notification onward.

Evidence & External Reports

Were You Affected by This Site?

You are not alone and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Scammers are sophisticated criminals who exploit trust. Reporting your experience is the most powerful weapon against fraud — your report can prevent others from becoming victims and help law enforcement take action. Silence is the scammer's greatest advantage. Break it.

If you have interacted with this domain, entered personal information, or connected a cryptocurrency wallet — take immediate action. Below are resources to help you report the incident and protect yourself.

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 →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with gro58e-cointelegraph.com — 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 gro58e-cointelegraph.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)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
  • Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.

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 — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
  • 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
How big is the crypto scam problem?
  • $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
  • Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
  • Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
  • FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
