trustgrowth.online presents itself as "Trust Growth," a CFD trading platform offering trading on stocks, ETFs and indices. PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page aimed at people looking for an online broker or investment opportunity. We first flagged it on 2026-07-27. As of 2026-10-19 the domain still answers, but its DNS-backed content is no longer being served.
How the scam works
Fake brokers like this one copy the look and language of legitimate trading services, here CFD trading, so that a polished dashboard appears credible. Victims are typically asked to register, hand over personal and identity details, and fund an account. The displayed balance and "profits" are fabricated. When the victim tries to withdraw, new fees, taxes or verification payments appear, and in the end the deposits are lost. Personal data and ID documents collected during sign-up can also be reused for further fraud.
Evidence
On 2026-09-14, 10 of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including BitDefender, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF and the Vietnamese anti-scam project Chong Lua Dao. That is a minority of engines, but the vendors are independent of one another and agree on a malicious verdict. The domain also appears in 6 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which means other researchers have tracked it as well. It is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-07-06 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. It was in our blocklist 21 days later, a short lifespan typical of throwaway scam domains spun up for a single campaign. Traffic is fronted by Cloudflare, Inc., with the serving IP geolocated to Canada, so the real origin server is hidden. A Google Trust Services certificate supplies the browser padlock, which only means the connection is encrypted. It says nothing about whether the broker is legitimate.
What to do
If you deposited money with "Trust Growth," stop sending funds, and refuse any "withdrawal fee" or "tax" demand, because paying it will not release your balance. Contact your bank or card issuer right away to dispute the payments, and keep all screenshots, chats and receipts for a police report. If you uploaded ID documents, watch for identity misuse and change any password you reused on the site. Be wary of "recovery" services that promise to get your money back, since they are a common follow-up scam. Defenders should block trustgrowth.online at DNS and proxy level and check logs for users who registered or made payments there.

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.

After a phishing incident
Recomendações e orientações para as vítimas
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
O que devo fazer agora mesmo?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Alterar todas as senhas — e-mail, contas do Exchange, qualquer coisa que use a mesma senha
Ativar a autenticação de dois fatores usando um aplicativo autenticador (não por SMS). Desative a recuperação por SMS
Cartões de congelamento se você inseriu dados bancários no site de phishing
Que informações devo coletar para o meu relatório?
Diretrizes do 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.
Datas e horários exatos — de cada transação e do primeiro contato com o golpista
Capturas de tela — sites fraudulentos, mensagens de bate-papo, e-mails, transações em carteiras digitais, redes sociais
Todas as URLs e domínios utilizado pelo golpista (incluindo trustgrowth.online)
Comunicações — e-mails, mensagens de texto, números de telefone e nomes de usuário que o golpista utilizou
Mesmo que você não tenha todos os detalhes — registre uma ocorrência mesmo assim. Mesmo informações parciais ainda ajudam nas investigações.
A quem devo denunciar o golpe?
FBI IC3 — Centro de Denúncias de Crimes na Internet (sistema federal de denúncias dos EUA)
Europol — Relatórios sobre crimes cibernéticos na Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polícia local — cria um registro oficial, mesmo que não possam agir imediatamente
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?
Sites falsos — clones idênticos, até o último pixel, de sites legítimos, com domínios ligeiramente alterados
Abate de suínos — confiança construída ao longo de semanas pelo Telegram, WhatsApp e aplicativos de namoro; em seguida, o dinheiro foi roubado
Golpes relacionados à recuperação — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Golpes baseados em IA — deepfakes, phishing automatizado e sites gerados por IA, o que torna a fraude mais difícil de detectar
Como posso me proteger no futuro?
Adicione os sites oficiais aos favoritos — nunca clique em links de e-mails, mensagens diretas ou anúncios
Verificar domínios — verificar PhishDestroy antes de interagir. Verifique se o site usa HTTPS, a ortografia e a idade do domínio
"Bom demais para ser verdade" = golpe — retornos garantidos, endossos de celebridades, prazos urgentes
