Pig-butchering / romance-crypto scam

Fake USDT cloud-mining site on a future-dated .top domain promising impossible daily returns with zero verifiable company details. This is the platform behind a "pig-butchering" romance-investment scam — where someone you met online (dating app, WhatsApp, a "wrong number" text) walks you into crypto trading. The platform is fake, the early "profits" are bait, and you will never be able to withdraw. Stop depositing and cut contact.

The page advertises six paid plans offering 5-10% daily profit for 30 days plus a free registration bonus, a return rate that no legitimate mining operation can sustain. Our antivirus network flagged the page through alphaMountain.ai while the hosting IP shows zero abuse history. The domain itself carries a July 2026 registration date, which is impossible for a legitimate business and points to deliberate manipulation. Two independent monitors already label the project a financial pyramid, and the site provides no email, address, or corporate registration. The combination of impossible yields, future-dated domain, and existing scam reports outweighs the clean browser blocklist and low abuse score on the IP.

The full analysis

Page Content

The site presents itself as "Anime Mine - USDT Cloud Mining" and lists six investment tiers that promise between 5% and 10% daily profit for 30 days. A free registration plan offers 0.00050000 USDT daily without deposit, while paid plans require deposits through FaucetPay ranging from 0.50 USDT to 1,500 USDT. The page shows live statistics claiming 1,298 registered users and 162.300 USDT in total deposits, yet lists only 4.955 USDT withdrawn. No contact email, phone, or physical address appears anywhere on the page.

Infrastructure

The site loads from IP 104.21.33.28 with a clean abuse score of 0/100 and no prior reports. SSL is valid and issued by Google Trust Services with 86 days remaining. External resources are pulled from fonts.googleapis.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, and static.cloudflareinsights.com. One redirect hop occurs with no cross-domain or homoglyph activity.

Domain History

WHOIS data lists the domain creation date as July 11, 2026, a future date that cannot exist under normal registration rules. The domain uses the .top TLD, which appears frequently in scam campaigns. No business registration records were located in any jurisdiction.

Web Reputation

France Verif flagged the site for lacking HTTPS encryption and missing legal notices. SQMonitor placed it among typical HYIP pyramid schemes that do not generate real returns. No positive reviews or trust signals were located on independent review aggregators. Two scam reports were found and zero positive mentions.

What this means for you

Any funds sent to this platform are at immediate risk of loss. The combination of impossible daily returns, a future-dated domain, and existing scam-monitor warnings indicates a high-yield investment fraud designed to collect deposits and disappear.

AI Recommendation
Do not deposit any cryptocurrency. Avoid the site entirely and report the URL to your wallet provider or local cybercrime unit if you already sent funds.

Technical Details

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Contact Verification

We fetched the page and looked for real-world contact details. Legitimate businesses almost always publish an email on their own domain, a phone number, and a postal address. Scam shops usually don't.

What to do

Pig-butchering / romance-crypto scam

This is the fake platform behind a "pig-butchering" scam — where someone you met online guides you into crypto trading.

  • Do not interact with animemine.top

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Stop depositing and cut contact

    The person is a scammer, the platform is fake, and the balance you see is fabricated. Every extra deposit is lost — don't send more to "unlock" a withdrawal or pay "taxes".

  • The "profits" are bait — you can't withdraw

    Small early withdrawals are a trick to make you deposit more. Once you try to take out a large amount, it's frozen behind endless fees.

  • Report it — being targeted is not your fault

    Report to the FBI's IC3 (ic3.gov) or the FTC, and to your bank / exchange. These are professional operations run at scale.

    Open

Safer Alternatives

Trying to handle crypto? Use a safe option instead

Dealing with crypto? Use a regulated, well-established exchange rather than an unknown site — and never connect your wallet or enter a seed phrase on a page you can't verify.

Coinbase

Publicly-listed, regulated US exchange.

Kraken

Long-established, regulated exchange.

Gemini

Regulated US exchange & custodian.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • animemine.top is a high-risk pig-butchering / romance-crypto — do not deposit funds or connect a wallet. Our review tagged it for investment scam and crypto fraud. 1 of 92 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
  • No — animemine.top scored just 10/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on animemine.top, act quickly. 1) Cryptocurrency payments are almost always irreversible, so a bank chargeback usually won't apply — instead report the wallet address to the exchange you sent from and ask them to flag it. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on animemine.top and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
  • Possibly, but it's difficult. Crypto transfers can't be reversed like card payments, so recovery usually depends on the receiving exchange freezing the funds — report the wallet address and transaction ID to that exchange and to IC3 (ic3.gov) as fast as you can. Be very wary of "recovery agents" who contact you promising to get your crypto back; that is almost always a second scam targeting victims.
  • Treat it as a "pig-butchering" scam. The pattern — a friendly stranger from a dating app, WhatsApp, or a "wrong number" text who gradually steers you into a crypto or trading platform — is a well-documented fraud. The platform (animemine.top) is fake, the profits it shows are fabricated bait, and when you try to withdraw a large amount it gets frozen behind "fees" or "taxes." Stop depositing, don't pay to "unlock" your balance, and cut contact.
  • You can report animemine.top through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
  • Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
  • Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged animemine.top, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
  • No — animemine.top is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
  • animemine.top resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
  • This report is a record of the scan run on July 15, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about animemine.top has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
