How the scam operates.
当該ドメインは、MyEtherWalletのブランド名を完全な形で再現し、それを.attorneyというトップレベルドメインと組み合わせることで、同サービスと公式なつながりを持つ法律事務所または助言業務を装っています。MyEtherWalletとこの運営者との間に、文書化された関係は一切存在しません。この構成は、盗難、ウォレットの侵害、または過去の詐欺被害を受けて支援を求める利用者を標的としており、プラットフォームへの特別なアクセス権と利用可能な法的救済手段を有する専門の法律事務所を装っています。
この種の手口は、すでに金銭的損失を被った個人を標的とします。こうした層は、精神的な動揺や資金を取り戻したいという思いから、二次的な詐欺に巻き込まれやすい傾向があります。運営者は、資産を追跡し、または取引所に保有資産の返還を強制できる、認可された仲介業者を装います。被害者は、着手金、コンプライアンス保証金、または案件登録料などと称する前払い費用の支払いを求められます。これらの支払いこそが、実際の収益源です。規制された法的な業務委託は一切行われません。
破綻の局面は、被害者が最初の支払い後に進捗を示す証拠を求めた時点で訪れます。この類型の運営者は、偽造された書類を提示したり、手続き上の複雑な事情を理由にさらなる費用を要求したり、あるいは長期間沈黙したのちにドメインが応答を停止したりするかたちで対応します。当該ドメインはCryptoScamDBのブラックリストに登録されています。これは、被害当事者や調査者による証拠を反映した、ピアによる通報を通じて維持されているデータベースです。こうした手口に対して行われた暗号資産の支払いは取り消すことができず、通常の詐欺で利用できる救済手段が失われます。
Red flags we documented.
- 01Brand name reproduction without authorisationThe domain incorporates the MyEtherWallet name verbatim alongside a professional legal TLD. Legitimate solicitors and recovery firms do not build their identity around a third-party brand. This construction is a documented technique for harvesting search traffic from users seeking help related to a specific wallet service, and it carries an implicit false claim of affiliation.
- 02Legal credential framing with no verifiable basisThe .attorney TLD implies bar membership or professional legal standing in a recognised jurisdiction. Recovery operations using this pattern routinely fail to provide verifiable bar registration numbers, jurisdiction of practice, or the names of qualified solicitors. Where these details are absent or unverifiable, the legal framing should be treated as cosmetic.
- 03Advance-fee payment as the core revenue mechanismRegulated legal professionals in asset recovery provide written engagement letters and fee disclosures before any payment is requested. Operations structured around upfront retainers collected without formal engagement documents are consistent with advance-fee fraud, regardless of how the fees are described.
- 04CryptoScamDB blacklist inclusionThe domain is listed on the CryptoScamDB blacklist, a community-maintained database requiring submitted evidence rather than automated flagging. Presence reflects prior reports from affected parties or researchers and constitutes an independent third-party signal against the operator.
- 05Secondary targeting of prior-loss victims as a specific patternRecovery fraud targets people who have already lost funds, and this operation is positioned precisely for that audience. The combination of a recognised wallet brand name and a legal-service TLD is calibrated to intercept prior victims. A prior loss significantly elevates susceptibility, and any contact with a site in this category should be treated with scepticism.
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.
