Is crypto-place.shop legit or a scam?
Phishing clone of AMLBot.com designed to steal crypto wallet credentials; 10-day-old domain listed on multiple scam blacklists.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary

MT Intelligence
The site copies the exact title and description of AMLBot, a real crypto-compliance platform, but is not affiliated with it. Our network fingerprint confirms this is a clone of amlbot.com using a casino-farm naming pattern on the low-trust .shop TLD. The domain was registered only 10 days ago and is already listed on multiple Eastern European exchanger blacklists (rates.guru, kurs.expert) and flagged on phishdestroy.io as a blockchain phishing attack targeting Web3 users. No business registration, legitimate contact information, or company details exist. The alphaMountain.ai detector flagged it as suspicious, and the hosting IP shows no abuse history — suggesting the infrastructure is freshly provisioned for this campaign. The page lacks an email on its own domain and has no postal address, both red flags for credential-harvesting sites.

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators
The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.
- Do not interact with crypto-place.shop
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Never paste your seed phrase anywhere
Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.
- If you already connected a wallet
Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.
- OpenReport the wallet and URL
File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
