HIGH
This domain, para-dex[.]net, is actively flagged as a high-risk phishing site impersonating a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Registered on July 7, 2026, through TUCOWS.COM, CO., the domain resolves to the IP address 104.168.144.192, hosted on AS54290 (HostPapa) in the United States. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Nginx web server technology and nameservers associated with Njalla (1-you.njalla.no, 2-can.njalla.in, 3-get.njalla.fo), a provider frequently observed in phishing operations. The domain presents a page title indicating it mimics Paradex, a decentralized exchange offering perpetual and options trading, with claims of ZK-encryption for trading security. As of July 12, 2026, six security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged para-dex[.]net, while three additional security blocklists have listed the domain. The site remains operational, returning an HTTP 200 status, and is actively blocked by at least three security mechanisms, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious domains. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 90/100, reinforcing the high-risk classification. Defenders should treat this domain as an active threat targeting users of decentralized finance platforms. The combination of recent registration, Njalla nameservers, and confirmed blocklist presence warrants immediate inclusion in network-level and endpoint protection rules. While the exact content of the site has not been analyzed, the page title and scam classification as a fake exchange suggest it is designed to harvest credentials or facilitate fraudulent transactions. No evidence of a phishing kit or specific payload has been identified at this stage. Monitoring for related domains registered through the same registrar or resolving to the same IP may help identify additional threats in this campaign.

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 para-dex.net — 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
para-dex.net) - 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
