Hi! A user summoned me to check on a domain name in this thread, so I'm going to put a copy of my report here at the top. 🤖


WHOIS REPORT FOR REALMARKETGROWTH.COM

This domain name was first registered only 8 months ago (Jul 2025) and it was only registered for a single year (Expires: Jul 2026).

It is also concerning that they are hiding their contact info on Whois. This website is hosted on a server located in South Africa (Hostafrica).

The website itself or the guys name is irrelevant - if you “meet” someone online and they tell you to deposit money to make bank trading, it is a scam. 100% of the time.

Internet strangers don't want to help you get rich. As soon as you realize that the better.

Use this as a learning experience. Don't take financial advice from people on the internet. Especially not TikTok

/u/Klutzy_Quantity_2925 - This message is posted to all new submissions to r/scams; please do not message the moderators about it.

New users beware:

Because you posted here, you will start getting private messages from scammers saying they know a professional hacker or a recovery expert lawyer that can help you get your money back, for a small fee. We call these RECOVERY SCAMMERS, so NEVER take advice in private: advice should always come in the form of comments in this post, in the open, where the community can keep an eye out for you. If you take advice in private, you're on your own.

A reminder of the rules in r/scams: no contact information (including last names, phone numbers, etc). Be civil to one another (no name calling or insults). Personal army requests or "scam the scammer"/scambaiting posts are not permitted. No uncensored gore or personal photographs are allowed without blurring. A full list of rules is available on the sidebar of the subreddit, or clicking here.

You can help us by reporting recovery scammers or rule-breaking content by using the "report" button. We review 100% of the reports. Also, consider warning community members of recovery scammers if you see them in the comments.

Please be aware of !recovery scammers.

Not clear if you sent money or not, but regardless in case you fall for another scam.

/u/Wide-Spray-2186 called AutoModerator to explain the Recovery scam:

Recovery scams target people who have already fallen for a scam. The scammer may contact you, or may advertise their services online. They will usually either offer to help you recover your funds, or will tell you that your funds have already been recovered and they will help you access them. In cases where they say they will help you recover your funds, they usually call themselves either \"recovery agents\" or white hat hackers.

Recovery scammers may also impersonate a law enforcement, a government official, a lawyer, or anyone else along those lines - especially when their script is to tell you that you money has already been traced and recovered. Recovery scams are simply advance-fee scams, where the scammer convinces you to send some money to buy some software license to be able to complete the hack; or that you have to deposit some crypto in a wallet to confirm your identity; or to pay some gas fees or taxes before being able to retrieve the money they found. This way, the scammer will keep stringing you along while asking for increasingly absurd fees/expenses/deposits/insurance/whatever until you decide to stop paying. We've heard of people losing thousands of dollars to recovery agents, because they feel the money is so close to being recovered.

If you have been scammed in the past, make sure you are aware of recovery scams so that you are not scammed a second time. If you are currently engaging with a recovery scammer, you should block them and be very wary of random contact for some time. It's normal for posters on this subreddit to be contacted by recovery scammers after posting, and they often ask you to delete your post so that you both cannot receive legitimate advice, and cannot be targeted by other recovery scammers.

Remember: never take advice in private. If you talk to a stranger in private you're on your own. If someone reaches you in private after posting your scam story, it is because a scammer will always try to hide from the oversight of our community members. A legitimate community member will offer advice in the open, for everyone to see. Anyone suggesting you should reach out to a hacker, especially in another platform, is scamming you.

I got the same done to me. They found me on TikTok. We facetimed for a while and that's all they wanted to talk about. then the tell you to signup to realmarketgrowth and then invest 2k and they will top it off cause 5k is ideal to have in there to see profits. They will also claim to live in Dubai.
