How the scam operates.
Situs ini beroperasi di bawah domain yang memadukan nama mudah dikenali dari antarmuka wallet Ethereum yang sudah mapan dengan top-level domain yang diasosiasikan dengan sebuah institusi perbankan besar. Kombinasi ini disengaja: ia berupaya meminjam kredibilitas dari dua sumber sekaligus, menampilkan kesan sebagai alat kripto yang familier sekaligus legitimasi finansial institusional. Target audiens yang paling mungkin adalah pengguna kripto sehari-hari yang menemui domain ini melalui tautan phishing atau hasil pencarian, lalu mengiranya sebagai layanan yang sudah mereka percayai.
Inti operasional dari jenis penipuan ini adalah pemanenan kredensial. Pengunjung disuguhi sesuatu yang tampak sebagai antarmuka wallet yang berfungsi, meniru secara cermat tata letak dan branding dari layanan sah yang ditiru oleh domain tersebut. Momen kritisnya tiba ketika pengguna diminta mengirimkan materi autentikasi sensitif, yang paling umum berupa private key atau seed phrase. Informasi itu dikirim ke pelaku, bukan diproses secara lokal, sehingga memberikan pelaku akses penuh dan tanpa syarat ke setiap wallet dan dana yang terkait dengan kredensial yang dikirimkan.
Korban umumnya baru mengetahui adanya penipuan setelah dana sudah berpindah. Transaksi cryptocurrency bersifat tidak dapat dibalik berdasarkan rancangannya, sehingga tidak ada mekanisme on-chain untuk memulihkan aset yang telah ditransfer. Pelaku pada umumnya telah mengalirkan dana melalui beberapa alamat perantara sebelum pencurian terdeteksi, sehingga mempersulit setiap upaya penelusuran. Pada tahap itu, korban menghadapi pilihan terbatas tanpa bantuan forensik spesialis untuk memetakan jejak transaksi dan mengidentifikasi titik-titik pemulihan yang potensial.
Red flags we documented.
- 01Dual-brand impersonation patternThe domain is constructed to evoke both a well-known crypto wallet service and a banking-sector top-level domain. This layered approach is a deliberate social engineering technique, designed to lower a visitor's guard by combining name recognition from two unrelated institutions into a single false signal of legitimacy.
- 02Seed phrase and private key exposure riskAny web platform that solicits a seed phrase or private key is operating outside every accepted security standard in the industry. Legitimate wallet interfaces handle credentials client-side and never transmit them over a network. An operation of this type has one purpose for collecting such input: theft.
- 03Banking TLD deployed as a credibility signalThe use of a restricted, brand-associated top-level domain linked to a major financial institution creates a false impression of regulatory oversight or institutional affiliation. No such oversight applies here. The TLD is being exploited purely as a social engineering instrument.
- 04Independent blacklist confirmationThe domain appears in the CryptoScamDB blacklist, an independent and community-maintained registry of confirmed fraudulent crypto addresses and domains. Presence on this list reflects external review beyond the individual victim's report, and constitutes documented third-party confirmation of the domain's fraudulent status.
- 05No verifiable operational identityThe operator presents no verifiable business registration, regulatory authorisation, or contact information consistent with a legitimate financial service. Structural anonymity of this kind is a consistent and defining feature of credential-harvesting operations, not an oversight.
What you can do now.
Open a free 24-hour case assessment with CryptoLeek +
Tell us what happened. A senior analyst reads your file within 24 hours and replies with an honest yes/no/conditional on recovery. The assessment is free. If we cannot recover the funds we say so plainly, including which (free) regulator channel you should use instead. If we accept the case, we open a numbered case file and issue a written quote for a flat investigation retainer before any work begins, scoped to case complexity, the jurisdictions involved, and the on-chain trail.
Trace your funds on-chain with our analysts +
We trace stolen crypto across BTC, ETH, EVM L2s, Solana, Tron, and major stablecoins using the same toolchain as regulators and tier-1 exchange compliance teams. The output is a forensic report anchored to specific transaction hashes and block heights, the evidence that exchanges, payment processors, and counsel actually act on. Recovery starts here.
Recover with counsel where civil action makes sense +
Where the trace lands in a jurisdiction with cooperative banks and courts, we coordinate with bar-licensed counsel in our 40+ jurisdiction network for civil action and asset-freezing orders (Mareva-style). Counsel bill you directly; the CryptoLeek investigation retainer is independent of counsel fees. The outcome is funds released back to your nominated wallet or bank account.
