cashbox.exchange presents itself as a Russian-language exchange point for electronic currencies, the kind of small exchanger people use to swap crypto for other digital money. PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page and first flagged it on 2026-07-27. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving content, so it can still take payments.
How the scam works
The page title, "Cashbox.exchange обменный пункт электронных валют" ("electronic currency exchange point"), presents the site as a legitimate exchange service. Fake exchangers like this quote a rate, take the visitor's coins or payment, and then never send anything back. Some also collect account details entered into the exchange form. The title names the site's own service rather than another brand, while our classification is impersonation. Because crypto transfers are final, anyone who pays this kind of site usually loses the full amount sent.
Evidence
VirusTotal results from 2026-09-13 show 4 of 89 engines flagging the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a low count, and most security products will not warn a visitor before they pay. The domain also appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers have tracked it. Among blocklists, it is currently listed only by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on 2020-06-16, about six years before we detected it. That age can make a fake exchanger look established to anyone who checks how long it has existed. The site is hosted on HostPapa's network in the Netherlands and uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate. The padlock in the browser only means the connection is encrypted, not that the business is legitimate.
What to do
Do not send funds to cashbox.exchange. Do not pay any extra "verification" or "release" fee it asks for to unlock a pending exchange, because those payments only add to the loss. If you already paid, save the transaction hashes, amounts and any chat logs. Then report the transfer to the exchange or payment service you sent it from and to your local police. If you created an account there with a password you use elsewhere, change it on those other services and turn on two-factor authentication. Defenders should block the domain and the hosting address 185.145.99.23 at DNS and proxy level, and add it to their exchanger-fraud watchlists.

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.

“This is a coordinated "frozen order" exchange scam operated through a Telegram account named "Flowisland Support." The group poses as a cryptocurrency exchange service.
Method of operation: After a victim sends crypto for a swap (SOL to TRX), the operators claim the order is "frozen" due to a fabricated network error — e.g. a "7th validator error" on Solana, or a claimed amount mismatch (5.55 vs 5.56 SOL). No such error exists; this is a pretext.
They then demand the victim make a second ident”
