On September 2, 2024, we started working on a case involving Nintendo-us.com. The victim was scammed for almost $40,000 after being lured into a fraudulent investment scheme. The scam involved depositing cryptocurrency, primarily Bitcoin, with the promise of high returns through transactions on the platform. After the funds were deposited, the victim could not withdraw any money, and the site’s operators continued to demand additional payments to “unlock” the account. The victim suffered significant financial losses despite multiple attempts to recover the funds. Our investigation uncovered numerous red flags, including untraceable cryptocurrency addresses and suspicious domain activity, further confirming that Nintendo-us.com is operating as part of a sophisticated scam.
