The domain thepreferredinvestment[.]com is currently operational and appears to impersonate legitimate investment platforms. With a VirusTotal score of 3/95, it raises significant flags for phishing activity. The site is designed to lure individuals into providing sensitive financial information, enhancing its potential for fraudulent operations. The domain is relatively new, registered just three days ago, which further indicates its malicious intent.

Registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, this domain operates from the IP address 188.114.97.3. Its recent creation and presence on a blocklist suggest it may be using shared hosting to evade detection. This type of infrastructure is often associated with transient phishing schemes, indicating that it may be quickly abandoned once its malicious purpose is served.

Currently, thepreferredinvestment[.]com is active, and PhishDestroy has reported the site and added it to our monitoring systems. Continuous oversight and engagement are essential to mitigate the risks associated with this domain and protect potential victims from falling prey to its deceptive tactics.

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 →
