metachore.net presents itself as METACHORE FINANCE, an investment service promising "solutions designed with elegance and finesse." PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page aimed at crypto holders looking for somewhere to grow their funds. We first flagged it on 2026-10-06, and it was still online with its content live on 2026-10-19. The page title advertises an investment platform, while our classification is impersonation phishing.
How the scam works
Sites like this borrow the look and language of a legitimate finance brand so visitors believe they are dealing with a real investment firm. The victim is typically asked to register, hand over personal or account details, and fund an "investment" account with crypto. Displayed balances and profits are not real. Money sent in is lost, and any login details or personal data entered can be reused against the victim's other accounts.
Evidence
On 2026-10-10, eight of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Netcraft, SOCRadar and desenmascara.me. That is a modest share of engines, but it comes from a broad mix of independent security vendors and phishing specialists. The domain also appears in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-01 through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, only five days before we detected it. That quick turnaround fits throwaway domains set up for short-lived fraud campaigns. The site is hosted at 91.230.49.19 on the SpectraIP B.V. network in the Netherlands. It uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the browser padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the operator is legitimate.
What to do
Do not deposit anything further, and ignore any request for a "fee" or "tax" to unlock withdrawals, because that is how these schemes take a second payment. If you created an account, change that password wherever else you use it and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep records of every transfer and message, and report them to your exchange and to the police. Security teams should block metachore.net at DNS and proxy level and watch for lookalike domains that use the Metachore Finance branding.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

Ogni riga rappresenta un motivo per cui un dominio è collegato a questo host. I nodi a dimensione intera indicano rilevamenti di VirusTotal, mentre quelli tratteggiati sono già offline. Di seguito è riportato l'elenco completo.
IP condiviso 91.230.49.196
Questo IP di origine ospita più domini di phishing: l'infrastruttura può essere condivisa tra campagne.
Registrati tramite lo stesso registrar. Un registrar serve milioni di clienti non collegati tra loro, quindi questo dato indica semplicemente un raggruppamento piuttosto che dimostrare un nesso.

After a phishing incident
Raccomandazioni e consigli per le vittime
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Cosa devo fare subito?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Modifica tutte le password — e-mail, account Exchange, qualsiasi servizio che utilizzi la stessa password
Abilita l'autenticazione a due fattori (2FA) utilizzando un'app di autenticazione (non via SMS). Disattiva il recupero tramite SMS
Carte congelate se hai inserito i tuoi dati bancari sul sito di phishing
Quali informazioni devo raccogliere per la mia relazione?
Linee guida dell'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.
Date e orari esatti — di ogni transazione e del primo contatto con il truffatore
Schermate — siti web truffaldini, messaggi in chat, e-mail, transazioni tramite portafoglio digitale, social media
Tutti gli URL e i domini utilizzato dal truffatore (tra cui metachore.net)
Comunicazioni — e-mail, SMS, numeri di telefono, nomi utente utilizzati dal truffatore
Anche se non conosci tutti i dettagli — sporgere comunque denuncia. Anche le informazioni parziali sono comunque utili alle indagini.
A chi devo segnalare la truffa?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (sistema di segnalazione federale degli Stati Uniti)
Europol — Segnalazioni relative alla criminalità informatica in Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polizia locale — crea un documento ufficiale, anche se non è in grado di agire immediatamente
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?
Siti web fasulli — cloni perfetti, al pixel, di siti legittimi con domini leggermente modificati
Macellazione dei suini — fiducia conquistata nel corso di settimane tramite Telegram/WhatsApp/app di incontri, per poi rubare i soldi
Truffe legate al recupero dei fondi — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Truffe basate sull'intelligenza artificiale — i deepfake, il phishing automatizzato e i siti generati dall’intelligenza artificiale rendono più difficile individuare le frodi
Come posso proteggermi in futuro?
Aggiungi i siti ufficiali ai preferiti — Non cliccare mai sui link contenuti nelle e-mail, nei messaggi diretti o negli annunci pubblicitari
Verifica i domini — controllare PhishDestroy prima di interagire. Verifica l'HTTPS, l'ortografia e l'età del dominio
"Troppo bello per essere vero" = truffa — rendimenti garantiti, testimonial di personaggi famosi, scadenze urgenti
