vandexio-software.com is a fake crypto exchange that presented itself as "vandexio," an AI-powered trading platform, and targeted people looking for automated crypto investment returns. PhishDestroy first identified it on 2026-09-23. The site is now dead. Its DNS stopped resolving on 2026-09-26, and it was still offline when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title, "vandexio | AI Trading Platform | Official Website," shows the typical pitch: an official-looking brand that promises an artificial-intelligence trading engine producing steady profits. Victims register, deposit cryptocurrency or fiat, and then watch a dashboard that displays growing balances. Those balances are not backed by any real trading. When users try to withdraw, the operators usually demand extra fees, taxes or verification deposits, or they simply stop responding. Everything sent to the platform should be treated as lost, along with any identity documents or personal details submitted during sign-up.
Evidence
On 2026-09-25, VirusTotal showed 15 of 91 engines flagging the domain as malicious. The flagging vendors include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data and Gridinsoft. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist. Detection from several established security vendors within days of discovery supports the fake exchange classification.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-07-15 through MainReg Inc., about ten weeks before PhishDestroy detected it. It was hosted at IP 185.62.58.179 on the Snel.com B.V. network in the Netherlands. The site used a domain-validated TLS certificate from ZeroSSL GmbH (ZeroSSL ECC DV SSL CA 2). That kind of certificate only proves control of the domain and says nothing about who runs it.
What to do
If you deposited funds with vandexio, do not pay any further "withdrawal fee" or "unlock" charge, because these demands are part of the same fraud. Gather your transaction IDs, wallet addresses, payment receipts and chat logs. Report the loss to your local police and national fraud reporting center, and contact your bank or the exchange you sent funds from right away. If you uploaded ID documents, watch for identity misuse and treat any later "recovery service" offers as a likely second scam. Change any password you reused on the site. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP and add the indicators to email and web filtering rules.

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.

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
