The US Department of Justice made a big move this Tuesday—directly taking down a phishing website, tickmilleas.com, run by a Myanmar scam compound. The FBI characterized it as a classic scheme: pretending to be a legitimate crypto trading platform, showing you fake account profit screenshots, and then luring you to invest your money.
This compound is no small operation; it's connected to the Southeast Asian scam organizations that were sanctioned recently—basically a key hub in the regional scam industry chain. What's even more impressive is the coordinated response this time: Google and Apple simultaneously took down all related apps, and Meta went even further by deleting over 2,000 associated accounts in one go. The scale of the action is indeed significant.

Here comes another wave. There really should be more of these platforms getting shut down.

Another scammy platform has been taken down. Honestly, these scammers' tricks never really change.

With scam parks in Myanmar running so rampant, shouldn't we also step up our efforts domestically?
---
Over two thousand accounts deleted in one go—this time Meta is really getting serious.
---
Fake screenshots to trick people into spending money—I just want to know how many people actually fell for this scheme.
---
Such a strong joint effort: Google, Apple, and Meta all taking action together. Finally, there's a bit of hope.
---
Just hearing the name "tickmilleas" sounds super suspicious, haha.

There's never a shortage of people in the scam industry—shut one down and another pops up. The key is not to get greedy.

I've long been tired of TickmillEAS's tricks. Fake screenshots to scam newbies—it's always the same old routine and it always works on someone.
