If you have encountered http://www.sczesw.com, it’s crucial to be aware that this site is linked to a trading scam targeting cryptocurrency investors. Through our OSINT investigation, we’ve gathered significant details about the fraud, which has led to a reported loss of $33,000 in Ethereum (ETH).
The domain sczesw.com was registered on June 6, 2022, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and is set to expire on June 6, 2025. The domain is currently under the client Transfer Prohibited status, indicating an effort to block the transfer or investigation of the domain. The registration lists Yunnan, China, as the location, which might be used to obscure the identity of the scammers.
Victims of this scam were initially contacted after inquiring about a cryptocurrency investment post related to Elon Musk, which led to further communication via chat. The scammers encouraged victims to register on a fraudulent trading platform called Gemini Pro, promising profitable returns. After depositing funds via PayPal and bank transfer, victims were instructed to make several transactions. However, when the victims attempted to withdraw their funds, the scammers claimed that taxes on profits were owed (often a fabricated amount, in this case, $27,500), preventing withdrawals and trapping the victims’ funds.
The primary Ethereum wallet address linked to this scam is:

This scam operates by exploiting trust, appearing legitimate at first and then introducing fake obstacles, such as fabricated taxes, to prevent victims from recovering their funds. The fraudulent platform is likely designed to trick people into depositing significant amounts of money, with the scammers ultimately vanishing once they’ve collected enough.If you’ve had any interaction with this site or have further details—such as additional wallet addresses, transaction IDs, or correspondence with the fraudsters—please share your information. Tracing the Ethereum wallet and investigating any related addresses could provide valuable leads for further investigation.
Let’s work together to expose this scam and prevent further losses in the crypto community. Your insights and reports could play a vital role in stopping this fraudulent operation.
