| Our company was recently involved in what we believe is a very large work-from-home Tether scam. The basic setup of the scam is: 1. Scammer sets up a fraudulent site with branding/domain name similar to an established company. Examples: https://adverityuk.com, https://applifyrevue.com 2. These sites are used to recruit victims for a work-from-home scam and ultimately involve them buying/transferring Tether. 3. The legitimate company receives complaints when the victim tries to complain or get their money back ultimately damaging the brand/business of the company. We're unsure of the scope of this scam but we believe it's very large as we interviewed victims that lost from USD$15-50K. You can see a warning about this scam at: https://fenzodigital.com/. Many of the scam sites have a reverse IP of 20.232.140.198 and you can see a small sample of the +1000 domains we're aware of at: https://pastebin.com/1tbqtfPi. We believe the host resolves to a CDN based in China (https://www.dnsqx.com/gfcdn.html) that is hosted on Azure. We've: * Contacted the Registrar (Name.com) but they basically said we need to contact the host or work through ICANN. * Submitted a complaint to the domain registrant through Name.com (no response yet) * Submitted a complaint to Azure (no response yet) * Tried contacting the CDN through Telegram (no response yet) Are there any other suggestions for bringing down this scam ASAP? |
