Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is tradeplusinvest.com a Fake Investment Scam Site? Analysis of tradeplusinvest.com indicates a high-risk phishing domain targeting financial or investment services. The domain was registered on April 16, 2026, through Atak Domain, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent infrastructure. It currently resolves to the IP address 5.182.208.207, which is part of a hosting provider known for masking services used by threat actors. The nameservers, ns5.maskhosting.com and ns6.maskhosting.com, further suggest the use of anonymized hosting designed to obscure ownership and evade takedowns. Security vendor detections remain limited but notable: two of 91 engines on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, a low but non-zero signal that aligns with early-stage phishing campaigns before broader detection coverage develops. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, a specialized anti-phishing service. No public records indicate Safe Browsing or Open Threat Exchange (OTX) listings, though this does not confirm safety—many phishing domains evade these feeds until user reports accumulate. Infrastructure analysis reveals no SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page titles in available intelligence, leaving the exact content and targeted brand uncertain. However, the domain name itself, combined with the investment-themed phrasing, suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate trading or financial platforms. Defenders should treat this domain as actively malicious, particularly in environments handling financial data. Recommended actions include blocking the domain and IP at perimeter security controls, monitoring for internal connections to 5.182.208.207, and alerting users to the risk of fake investment sites. Given the recent registration and use of anonymized hosting, further monitoring for related domains or IP shifts is advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-B1D784 Favicon MD5: 2719422c8593e159e4c024839f4972b4 TLS cert SHA-256: d54df30a196c24f310488c4d5b3b851b04584f9d979c3cab7525494c48533ec6 ## 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 (operator 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/tradeplusinvest.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tradeplusinvest.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
