richmondzux.shop presents itself as a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange under the brand name Richmondzux, marketing itself as a premium AI-powered trading platform. It targets retail crypto investors and traders looking for automated or AI-assisted trading services. PhishDestroy first identified this site on 2026-09-18, and as of 2026-10-19 the site remains fully live and serving content.
How the scam works
Fake exchange platforms like this one lure victims by offering the appearance of a professional, authorized trading environment — in this case reinforced by the page title 'Richmondzux | a premium AI trading | Authorized Platform.' Users are typically prompted to create an account, deposit cryptocurrency or fiat funds, and watch fabricated balance displays that show artificial gains. When victims attempt to withdraw, they are blocked, charged invented fees, or simply cut off entirely, losing everything they deposited.
Evidence
Fourteen of 91 engines on VirusTotal flagged richmondzux.shop as malicious as of 2026-09-29, with detections from BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, CRDF, and alphaMountain.ai. Four threat intelligence pulses on OTX independently corroborate the classification. The domain is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-02 through Dynadot Inc. and appeared in threat feeds less than seven weeks later, a pattern consistent with short-lifecycle fraud infrastructure. The site is hosted on Cloudflare's network with a Canadian-geolocated IP and uses a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate.
What to do
If you visited the site but did not register or deposit funds, no immediate action is required beyond avoiding any further interaction. If you created an account or transferred any cryptocurrency or payment details to this platform, treat those funds as unrecoverable and report the incident to your national cybercrime authority and your payment provider or exchange immediately. Do not respond to any follow-up contact from operators claiming to facilitate withdrawals, as these are typically secondary recovery scams. Security teams should block richmondzux.shop at the DNS and proxy layer and add the associated Cloudflare IP to monitoring watchlists.

After a phishing incident
Rekomendasi & Saran bagi Para Korban
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Apa yang harus saya lakukan segera?
Mendesak
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Ubah semua kata sandi — email, akun Exchange, apa pun yang menggunakan kata sandi yang sama
Aktifkan 2FA menggunakan aplikasi otentikator (bukan SMS). Nonaktifkan pemulihan berbasis SMS
Kartu pembeku jika Anda telah memasukkan detail perbankan di situs phishing tersebut
Informasi apa saja yang sebaiknya saya kumpulkan untuk laporan saya?
Pedoman FBI
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.
Tanggal dan waktu yang tepat — dari setiap transaksi dan kontak pertama dengan penipu
Tangkapan layar — situs web penipuan, pesan obrolan, email, transaksi dompet digital, media sosial
Semua URL & domain digunakan oleh penipu (termasuk richmondzux.shop)
Komunikasi — email, pesan teks, nomor telepon, dan nama pengguna yang digunakan oleh penipu tersebut
Meskipun kamu belum mengetahui semua detailnya — tetap saja ajukan laporan. Informasi yang tidak lengkap tetap dapat membantu penyelidikan.
Ke mana saya harus melaporkan penipuan ini?
FBI IC3 — Pusat Pengaduan Kejahatan Internet (Laporan tingkat federal AS)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polisi setempat — membuat catatan resmi, meskipun mereka tidak dapat bertindak segera
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?
Situs web palsu — salinan yang persis sama dengan situs asli, dengan domain yang sedikit diubah
Pemotongan babi — kepercayaan yang dibangun selama beberapa minggu melalui Telegram/WhatsApp/aplikasi kencan, lalu uangnya dicuri
Penipuan pemulihan — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Penipuan yang didukung oleh kecerdasan buatan — deepfakes, serangan phishing otomatis, dan situs yang dihasilkan oleh kecerdasan buatan (AI) yang membuat penipuan semakin sulit dideteksi
Bagaimana cara saya melindungi diri di masa depan?
Tandai situs resmi — jangan pernah mengklik tautan dari email, pesan langsung (DM), atau iklan
Memverifikasi domain — periksa PhishDestroy Sebelum berinteraksi. Periksa HTTPS, ejaan, dan usia domain
"Terlalu bagus untuk jadi kenyataan" = penipuan — imbal hasil yang dijamin, dukungan dari selebriti, tenggat waktu yang mendesak
