Forensic brief
Read full brief
PhishDestroy identifies vaiyo.io as an active investment scam portal hosting fraudulent financial opportunities to deceive users into depositing cryptocurrency or fiat funds. The domain mimics legitimate trading platforms with fabricated endorsements, fake regulatory claims, and high-pressure deposit prompts. Security researchers note redirection chains to cloned KYC pages that harvest identity verification documents, raising identity theft risks beyond immediate financial loss.
Technical analysis reveals the infrastructure operates behind Cloudflare, hides WHOIS details via Immaterialism Limited privacy protection, and leverages Google Trust Services SSL to project legitimacy. Based on observed uptime and phishing kit sophistication, this campaign appears coordinated and ongoing since domain creation on September 27, 2023. This domain was flagged with zero detections on VirusTotal across 95 security engines as of the latest scan, despite clear phishing indicators including deceptive login portals and unauthorized data exfiltration scripts.
The registrar Immaterialism Limited registered the domain at creation, showing no prior reputation in hosting enforcement actions. The infrastructure resolves to IP 104.21.17.241, which shares hosting with other recently suspended financial scam domains, indicating a pattern of abuse. PhishDestroy’s threat intelligence network records over 120 user reports linking vaiyo.io to deposit fraud totaling $4.2 million in claimed losses, with additional reports of credential harvesting targeting crypto exchange users.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
- Do not pay anything else. Recovery agents demanding upfront fees are a second-stage scam.
- Disconnect compromised wallets. Move remaining funds to a fresh seed phrase generated offline.
- Preserve evidence. Screenshot transactions, save URLs, archive emails — chain-of-custody matters for prosecution.
- Report to authorities (see section 15 below) — even small reports help build case patterns.
- Notify your bank/exchange. Some chargebacks may still be possible within 24-72h.
