A new fake part-time job scam has been identified on the website OIC-Job.net. This fraudulent platform promises part-time job opportunities, enticing victims to invest cryptocurrency, primarily USDT (Tether), in exchange for a “job” or a supposed business opportunity. Once the victim deposits the funds, the scammers disappear, and the victim is left without access to the promised job or any return on investment. This scam resulted in the loss of 23 USDT and 20 USDT.

Overview of the Scam

OIC-Job.net promotes itself as a legitimate platform offering part-time job opportunities. Victims are initially attracted to the site by an attractive, professional-looking job offer. After signing up, the site encourages users to deposit USDT (Tether) to participate in tasks or assignments to earn additional income. The victims are told they can earn back their initial investment plus profits, but once they make the deposit, they are unable to withdraw any funds or contact the scammers, signaling that this is a classic scam operation.

The total loss reported so far by victims is 23 USDT and 20 USDT, which they sent to the wallet address provided by the scammers. Once the funds are sent, the scammers stop engaging, and the victims are left without the expected returns.

Scam Website Information

The domain OIC-Job.net was registered on August 26, 2024, through Dominet (HK) Limited. The domain is set to expire on August 26, 2025, which is typical of scam websites that are often short-lived before they are abandoned and replaced with new domains. The scam appears to be freshly launched, and if the history of such scams is any indication, this site will likely be taken down and replaced with another fraudulent platform.

Receiving Wallet Address

The scammers have used the following Tether (USDT) wallet address to receive deposits from victims:

• TBbrxiuySCRmE2ZPDpUkxQCudhhGLoShKj

Investigators should focus on tracking the movements of funds sent to this wallet address. Since USDT transactions are recorded on the blockchain, it may be possible to trace the funds to other wallets or exchanges, potentially uncovering more information about the perpetrators or their network.

Registrar and Domain Information

• Domain: oic-job.net
• Registrar: Dominet (HK) Limited
• Registration Date: August 26, 2024
• Expiration Date: August 26, 2025

The domain registrar Dominet (HK) Limited is based in Hong Kong, and such domain registrars are often used by scammers to maintain anonymity. The short registration period suggests the scammers may have planned to operate the scam for a limited time before disappearing with the funds.
