The domain cobanep.com has been linked to a massive investment scam involving Bitcoin (BTC). Through our OSINT investigation, we’ve uncovered critical details about this fraudulent operation, which has resulted in a reported loss of $21,000,000 in BTC.
The domain cryptostreetfx.com, associated with cobanep.com, was registered on September 12, 2024, through Hosting Concepts B.V. (Registrar.eu), and is set to expire on September 12, 2025. The registration is protected by Whois Privacy Protection Foundation, which is often used to conceal the identity of the registrant and impede tracing efforts. The listed address in Rotterdam, Netherlands is likely part of the obfuscation strategy used by scammers.
Victims of this scam are directed to send Bitcoin to a series of receiving addresses, which include:

These wallet addresses are used to collect funds, with victims often promised large returns on their Bitcoin investments. However, once the funds are transferred, no returns are delivered, and communication from the scammers typically ceases.This scam uses a professional-looking website and other deceptive tactics to appear legitimate, preying on unsuspecting investors. The use of multiple wallet addresses indicates an attempt to conceal their activities and complicate any investigation into the scam.
If you have any information related to this scam such as additional wallet addresses, transaction IDs, or communications with the fraudsters please share it to assist the investigation. Tracing the blockchain transactions associated with these addresses may uncover further connections to fraudulent operations.
We urge anyone who has encountered this scam to report it and contribute any information they may have. Working together, we can help prevent further financial losses and protect the crypto community from scams like this one.
