Heritagegulfcoastunion.com is an active credential theft phishing domain that impersonates Heritage Gulf Coast Credit Union. The site presents a fake Personal Banking login page designed to steal usernames, passwords, and potentially financial account credentials from visitors. The domain is registered through NAMECHEAP INC, a known provider for low-effort phishing registrations, and is actively hosted on IP 163.61.188.7 using LiteSpeed web server, JivoChat live chat, and HTTP/3 protocol. The presence of JivoChat suggests the phishers may attempt real-time interaction with victims to increase credibility. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides a false sense of security to users.
Infrastructure analysis reveals strong indicators of malicious intent. The domain was created on September 25, 2024, making it only a few months old at the time of analysis. VirusTotal detection shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating it is still relatively new to threat intelligence feeds. AlienVault OTX includes it in 2 threat intelligence pulses, and it appears on 1 security blocklist. The domain is blocked by PhishDestroy, confirming its classification as a phishing threat. The combination of a recently registered domain, impersonation of a legitimate financial institution, and real-time chat functionality elevates the risk to high. Credential theft from this site could lead to account takeover, fraudulent transactions, and identity theft.
Users who have visited heritagegulfcoastunion[.]com and entered any personal information should immediately change their passwords for the real Heritage Gulf Coast Credit Union and any other accounts using the same credentials. They should enable multi-factor authentication on all financial accounts and monitor statements for unauthorized activity. It is advisable to run a full antivirus scan on the device used to access the phishing site and report the incident to the legitimate credit union's fraud department. Users should avoid interacting with any live chat features on the site and should not revisit the domain. The domain remains active and should be treated as a confirmed threat until it is taken down by the registrar or hosting provider.

Domain Appeal
Contest this listing if false positive
Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with heritagegulfcoastunion.com — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
heritagegulfcoastunion.com) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
