Why this matters — ICANN RAA §3.18 obligation
On PhishDestroy delivered an evidence-backed abuse report
to abuse@hello.co with VirusTotal detections, urlscan capture, legal violations, and full screenshot evidence.
More than 4 months later, the phishing infrastructure remains reachable
.
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.

“Cryptocurrency Exchange | Buy cryptocurrency on ROACOIN”
Infrastructure analysis shows that roacoin[.]com resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The site uses a Let's Encrypt certificate (issuer “E7”) and leverages Cloudflare services, including Browser Insights and HTTP/3. Detected technologies comprise Node.js, Vue.js, Nginx, Express, and reCAPTCHA, confirming a modern web stack typical of phishing kits that mimic legitimate crypto platforms.
Threat intelligence places the domain on three security blocklists and it is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal scanning reports two detections out of ninety‑five scanned vendors, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious activity. The Gridinsoft trust score is 1 / 100, the lowest possible rating, and the underlying phishing kit has been identified as the Seed Phrase Phishing kit, a known instrument for harvesting cryptocurrency seed phrases.
Defenders should treat roacoin[.]com as a confirmed phishing infrastructure and enforce immediate blocking at perimeter and endpoint controls. Continuous monitoring of the associated IP address and associated Cloudflare name servers is advisable, as the operator may pivot to additional domains. Further static and dynamic analysis of the site content is recommended to uncover any additional credential‑capture mechanisms that have not yet been publicly disclosed.

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