Myanmar-based scam operation subjected to US crackdown

The U.S. has dismantled Myanmar-based scam website 'tickmilleas[.]com,' which impersonates the forex and commodities trading platform TickMill, as part of its recently formed Scam Center Task Force's crackdown on domains linked to the Tai Chang scam compound, reports The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future.

Attackers have leveraged the fake TickMill site to obtain funds from victims, who have been lured through the promise of lucrative returns on investment, according to the Department of Justice, which noted that multiple apps linked to the site have already been removed from the Google and Apple app stores.

"Despite the seized domains having been registered in early November 2025, the FBI has already identified multiple victims who used the domain in the last month to send cryptocurrency as part of what they believed were legitimate investments and were scammed out of their money," said the Justice Department.
