This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing infrastructure targeting users of cryptocurrency exchange platforms. Analysis indicates the site operates under the guise of a legitimate trading portal, employing social engineering tactics to harvest credentials, private keys, or financial details from unsuspecting victims. The domain is classified under the generic_phishing threat type, with a specific focus on impersonating trust-based financial services to exploit user trust in digital asset transactions. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain trustedexchange188[.]com was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on May 22, 2026, an anomalous future date suggesting potential falsification of registration records. It resolves to the IP address 162.245.220.33, hosted under AS150452 (LANDUPS LIMITED) in Hong Kong. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, and is flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), a common tactic among phishing sites to mimic legitimacy. The page title, Trust Exchange, reinforces the impersonation of a cryptocurrency trading platform. Mitigation measures should include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP address (162.245.220.33) at the network perimeter. Security teams are advised to deploy indicators of compromise (IOCs) across endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, email gateways, and web filtering solutions to prevent user access. Given the domain's active status and high-risk classification, organizations should prioritize user awareness training to recognize phishing attempts targeting cryptocurrency platforms. Additionally, monitoring for anomalous outbound connections to the IP or domain can help identify compromised systems. If credentials or private keys were entered on this site, immediate revocation and replacement are critical to prevent unauthorized access to digital assets.

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 →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with trustedexchange188.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
trustedexchange188.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
