zhovrantek.click is a fake cryptocurrency exchange that bills itself as the official website of an automated trading platform under the zhovrantek name. It targets retail investors drawn in by promises of effortless, algorithm-driven crypto profits. PhishDestroy first detected the site on 2026-09-20, and as of 2026-10-19 it was still online and serving its scam content.
How the scam works
Schemes like this copy the look of a real trading service, with a polished dashboard, live-looking charts and a pitch that automated trading will grow deposits with little effort. Victims open an account, fund it with cryptocurrency and watch an on-screen balance climb, but that balance is fabricated by the operators. When victims try to withdraw, they are typically told to pay extra taxes, verification fees or a higher deposit tier first. The money never comes back, and any identity documents uploaded during sign-up end up in the operators' hands.
Evidence
On 2026-09-29, 16 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as malicious. Flagging vendors include BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and G-Data. The domain also appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-07-12 through Spaceship, Inc., roughly ten weeks before PhishDestroy flagged it. It resolves to 185.62.57.10 on the Snel.com B.V. network in the Netherlands. Its TLS certificate comes from ZeroSSL GmbH (ZeroSSL ECC DV SSL CA 2). A domain-validated certificate only encrypts traffic and says nothing about whether the operator is legitimate.
What to do
Do not deposit funds, and never pay a fee or tax to unlock a withdrawal, because each payment only deepens the loss. If you already sent crypto, save transaction hashes, receiving addresses, screenshots and chat logs, then report the theft to your national cybercrime unit and to the exchange you sent funds from. If you uploaded ID documents, watch for identity misuse and change any password you reused here. Treat unsolicited recovery services as a likely second scam. Defenders should block zhovrantek.click and 185.62.57.10 at DNS, proxy and email gateways.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
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.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
