Open-Source Intelligence Analysis: Preliminary Findings on Fraudulent Activities Associated with cexik.com
Current Website:
The website cexik.com is involved in a cryptocurrency scam, convincing victims to send funds to multiple Bitcoin addresses with promises likely of high returns or secure investments that do not materialize.Domain and Hosting Information:
Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd.
Registered On: 2023-11-02
Expires On: 2025-11-02
Updated On: 2024-11-03
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Nameservers:expire1.gname-dns.com
expire2.gname-dns.com
Technical Analysis and Subpoena Recommendations:Domain Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Recommendation for Subpoena: Obtain comprehensive registration and ownership details to uncover the identities operating the scam.
Nameservers: Utilizing generic nameservers indicative of possibly expiring or low-investment domain maintenance. Recommendation for Subpoena: Acquire DNS server logs and configurations to trace domain’s operational history and any interconnected fraudulent activities.Key Observations:
The choice of domain nameservers and the generic nature of the domain setup suggest a potentially short-term operation, typical of many online scams aimed at quick setups and rapid execution before detection. The usage of multiple Bitcoin addresses is a common tactic to disperse received funds and complicate tracking and recovery efforts.Conclusion:
The operation at cexik.com is characteristic of a clear-cut cryptocurrency scam, using multiple receiving addresses to diversify risk and complicate the tracking of illicit funds. Immediate and comprehensive legal actions are essential, focusing on subpoenas to the registrar and DNS providers to dismantle the fraudulent setup and potentially aid in the recovery of lost assets.

We recently received a complaint about a scam involving the website CEXIK.com and someone allegedly operating out of Boston. The scammer targeted their victim through a cryptocurrency investment scheme, convincing them to send substantial funds over a month. The victim sent $30,000 via cryptocurrency, believing they were engaging in a legitimate opportunity. Investigations have revealed that cash-outs from this scam were processed through platforms like OKX and Square Cash App. Unfortunately, the promised returns never materialized, and attempts to retrieve the funds proved futile.
The scam was reportedly structured as a romance-based scheme, and trust and emotional connection were likely used to manipulate the victim. The scammer requested the funds in cryptocurrency, a method increasingly favored by fraudsters for its relative anonymity and difficulty in tracing. This, combined with the lack of accountability displayed by the operators of CEXIK.com, raises significant concerns about the website’s legitimacy and the intentions of those behind it.
From the details provided, this case demonstrates clear hallmarks of a scam. Emotional manipulation, unfulfilled promises of financial gain, and the choice of cryptocurrency for transactions all point to an organized effort to defraud. We strongly advise avoiding engaging with CEXIK.com or similar platforms requesting cryptocurrency investments. If you are ever approached with such opportunities, proceed with extreme caution and verify the legitimacy of the website and the people behind it. Scammers rely on building trust and exploiting emotions; being vigilant is your best defense against becoming a victim.
