This section records outgoing timestamps, listed recipients, case identifiers, and later availability. It does not by itself prove receipt, acknowledgement, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
The domain trustup.center was registered on February 21, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 188.137.228.44, which is assigned to AS211381 Podaon SIA in Germany. The site is reachable over HTTPS using a Let’s Encrypt R13 certificate and returns an HTTP 200 status code. Technical fingerprinting shows the presence of jQuery and the enforcement of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). The authoritative nameservers are kim.ns.retry.name and kate.ns.retry.name.
According to VirusTotal, three of ninety‑three scanning engines flagged the domain, and it is listed on one external security blocklist. PhishDestroy has also recorded the domain as blocked. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further indicates a high likelihood of malicious intent. The only visible page element is the title tag displaying the word “Trust,” and no additional branding or target information is disclosed in the available intelligence.
Because the underlying content has not been publicly analysed, the precise phishing lure or credential‑harvesting mechanism remains uncertain. Defenders should add trustup.center to domain‑based deny lists, consider blocking the associated IP range 188.137.228.44/32, and enforce TLS verification to reject self‑signed or improperly issued certificates. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the domain and its nameservers is advised, as well as inclusion of the host in network‑level threat‑intel feeds. Organizations using web filtering should ensure the URL is flagged for inspection, and incident‑response teams should be prepared to investigate any credential submissions that may originate from this infrastructure.
Questions about trustup.center
Is trustup.center legit?
No. PhishDestroy classifies trustup.center as a phishing page (risk: critical, 88/100); it was first detected on 2026-02-13. VirusTotal: 5/91 engines flag it. Listed on Spamhaus DBL. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is trustup.center safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on trustup.center. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
What should I do if I used trustup.center?
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
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
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
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 trustup.center)
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)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
