Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] trdmaxglobal.com Safety Check — Brand Impersonation Detected This domain, trdmaxglobal.com, is flagged as a brand impersonation threat targeting investment scams. Analysis indicates it mimics a legitimate online CFD trading platform, specifically using the page title "TMGM - Best Forex Broker - Online CFD Trading Platform" to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent financial services. No direct evidence of a crypto drainer kit was observed, but the domain aligns with known tactics used in investment fraud schemes. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 8.223.66.170 and was registered on November 10, 2025, through GoDaddy Corporate Domains, LLC. It holds a VirusTotal detection score of 4/95 security vendors, appears on four security blocklists, and is associated with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was also identified in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse and is blocked by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, SEAL, and OISD. As of the latest assessment, trdmaxglobal.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, the domain's infrastructure and registration details suggest potential for re-emergence under similar or altered configurations. Organizations and users are advised to monitor for related domains, update blocklists, and verify financial service providers through official channels to mitigate residual risk from this threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-45B2B6 TLS cert SHA-256: 87e8cbe365eaee0789136fdfe6fc44e0db55cc816ddb50b9b5dd4c433aedf7c8 ## 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/trdmaxglobal.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trdmaxglobal.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.
