Analysis of www.news-metaverse.com indicates that the domain was used for an investment‑type phishing campaign. The site was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on 3 March 2025 and is hosted on Cloudflare’s network (ASN 13335) with the IP address 172.67.206.162 located in the United States. The authoritative name servers are athena.ns.cloudflare.com and wilson.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate was observed, suggesting the site was reachable only via plain HTTP.
The page title returned by the server is “NFT”, which aligns with the reported investment‑scam narrative that often leverages non‑fungible token terminology. VirusTotal scans show that five of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, and the domain appears on a single external blocklist. AlienVault OTX lists the domain in two threat‑intelligence pulses, confirming that it has been shared within the community. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, and PhishDestroy reports the domain as blocked.
The site is currently offline, and the risk level is classified as elevated. Defenders should ensure that the IP address 172.67.206.162 and the associated Cloudflare AS are added to deny lists, enforce blocking of the domain in DNS filtering solutions, and monitor for newly registered domains that use the same registrar or name‑server pattern. Because the content has not been publicly archived, further behavioural analysis is limited; however, the combination of low trust score, multiple vendor detections, and community‑based intelligence strongly suggests that the domain was employed to lure victims into fraudulent investment schemes. Ongoing surveillance of related infrastructure is recommended.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
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.
An estimated time describes an observation window. It does not prove a registrar action or the exact moment a site became unavailable.

我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
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.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
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?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
