The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia’s newly formed Scam Center Strike Force announced seizure of tickmilleas.com as part of an interagency campaign against Southeast Asia scam compounds. The office said the seized domain was connected to mobile apps and social accounts used to launder proceeds and that the Strike Force is coordinating with foreign partners and private companies to disrupt the broader infrastructure.

The D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that its Scam Center Strike Force executed a seizure of tickmilleas.com after identifying the domain as a core piece of infrastructure for a romance‑to‑investment fraud operation run by the Tai Chang compound in Burma. The Strike Force described an interagency approach that combined criminal investigators, prosecutors, and federal partners with voluntary cooperation from technology platforms to remove apps and accounts tied to the scheme. Prosecutors reported the domain funneled victims from dating and social platforms into staged crypto trading environments where fabricated returns coaxed larger transfers. Authorities further linked the site to mobile applications and social media accounts that facilitated movement and conversion of illicit proceeds, enabling international laundering. The announcement highlighted ongoing coordination with foreign law enforcement to trace transactions and seize assets, and urged victims to use federal reporting mechanisms such as IC3. The Strike Force characterized the action as an early demonstration of a sustained public‑private disruption strategy against transnational investment fraud networks.
