Recent Case Our Team Has Encountered

Dear visitors, clients, and anyone who comes across this article: your full attention is needed.
We hope what we are about to share will save you money, time, and nerve cells.

Here at Netrocket, we take pride in the fact that we’re among the most trustworthy inbound marketing agencies specializing in SEO, PPC, and social media services.

Long story short, in September, we were targeted by some malicious copycats who cloned our brand and website on a fake domain to deceive unsuspecting users. You can read in more detail about this case here.

You might wonder why we are reminding you about this again?
We faced another form of scam that could potentially harm you. So we are here to prevent it.

Our one and only website is netrocket.pro—anything else is an imitation. The fake sites, such as netr0cket.com, or work.net-rkt.com/, have nothing to do with us. 
We also have nothing to do with any sort of crypto investment. These devious practices continue to grow; we want to arm you with the knowledge of how to be watchful and protected.

Our Stand Against Cyber Fraud

In the latest incident of fraud, the scammers used our logo, our content, and our reputation to try to peddle a cryptocurrency scheme. These not only amount to brand damage but also put financial risk for those who fall for such tricks.

Screenshots of Their Deceptive Website

Below are screenshots of their fake site, including a picture of what they claim is their “Customer Service” via Telegram. Please keep these images in mind should you ever encounter a suspicious page leveraging our branding. Remember, Netrocket will never contact you with requests to invest in cryptocurrency or money transfers, or with job offers related to that.

What to Do If You Encounter This Scam

If you ever come across this fraud website or anything suspicious that claims to represent Netrocket, here’s what you should do to keep yourself safe:

1. Check the domain—if the domain of the website is not netrocket.pro, then it’s not our company, and we are not responsible for any kind of activities happening on other web pages.
2. Report the website as fraudulent—take a stand and report the source so that others don’t get victimized.
3. Never invest—do not make any investment in response to such entities.
4. Contact Cyberpolice—if you have had any interaction with them, report them immediately to your local cyberpolice unit.

When Cybersecurity Is the Only Shield

In a time when scams are virtually becoming sophisticated, cybersecurity is the ultimate guard. Protecting your digital footprint is key not just to companies but also to individuals. Following are some proactive steps to safeguard yourself:

• Be skeptical: Any demand for money or investment, especially crypto-related ones, should raise an immediate flag.
• Verify domains and accounts: double-check that the domain name and contact information are correct. We said it before, and here’s the reminder: we are only at netrocket.pro.
• Enhance your online safety: consider enabling two-factor authentication, using secure passwords, and periodic software updates to ensure your information remains safe.

Unfortunately, we received some messages from people who have already interacted with them. Here’s in more detail how their fraud scheme works

Fraud Combat from Netrocket

Meanwhile, we are in active contact with hosting providers and have initiated takedown procedures against these fraudulent sites. We already contacted CNCERT, which is China’s national network incident response team, which is responsible for countering cyber threats, responding to Internet security incidents, and helping to protect China’s infrastructure from cyber attacks.
Also, ICANN – (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is an international organization that manages the global Domain Name System (DNS) and addresses on the Internet.

ICANN can help you if fraudsters use a domain that infringes on your trademark rights. However, ICANN has no direct influence over the hosting or content of the site.

Though our efforts somewhat keep at bay the spread of misinformation, we need your help to stay safe.
Please be vigilant: question unusual requests and report any suspicious activity.

Reminder: Cyber Awareness Is Power

The emergence of new cyber threats day in and day out explores and takes advantage of our increased dependence on digital interaction.
This, therefore, is a call for wakefulness, not to ourselves only but to all: cybersecurity is everybody’s responsibility. It’s a shield we hold together against those who lurk in the shadows of the internet, hoping to take advantage.
Remember, that any website can be copied and if you find a suspicious duplicate website that looks like Netrocket, please report it here.

So please, stay safe, recheck your interactions with suspicious websites, and question privacy before taking any actions.
This is a new case for our team, so this is a great reminder for all of us about the importance of cyber security.
Stay tuned; we’ll keep you updated on this.
