As a developer who values cybersecurity, I recently uncovered a fraudulent website, londonatak.store, offering illegal services like hacked credit card details, PayPal balances, and TikTok accounts loaded with millions of coins.
The website accepted crypto payments and lured users with suspiciously low prices for these illicit services. Numerous users reported being scammed—either receiving nothing after paying or being blocked entirely. This type of fraudulent activity is not only illegal but also harmful to the integrity of online communities.
What the Website Looked Like
How I Investigated
Upon reviewing the site, I found that it was selling the following illicit services:
- Full credit card details (including name, number, and password)
- PayPal balances (with limits per user)
- TikTok accounts loaded with millions of coins
Seeing the harm this could cause, I decided to investigate further and expose the fraudulent website.
Finding the Host
I utilized a WHOIS lookup to track the website’s domain and discovered it was hosted by GoDaddy, a major domain registrar. This was an important lead, as it allowed me to directly report the fraudulent activity to the appropriate platform.
Reporting to GoDaddy
Armed with evidence—screenshots, domain information, and a description of the illegal activities—I submitted a comprehensive abuse report to GoDaddy’s team. I knew they would take action promptly.
Outcome
Thanks to GoDaddy’s prompt response, the fraudulent website was shut down and is no longer accessible.
Final Thoughts
This fraudulent website posed significant risks by offering hacked credit card information, PayPal balances, and TikTok accounts at unrealistically low prices. By reporting the site and taking action, I helped prevent further harm and protected others from falling victim to this scam. This experience highlights the importance of remaining vigilant in identifying and combating online fraud.
