Why we say inv.my-dash-board.com is a scam
We have already handled the case of a client who between May and October 2026 paid around ten thousand euros into inv.my-dash-board.com, a platform presented as a currency trading service. From inv.my-dash-board.com he never withdrew anything.
This case contains two lessons that apply to anyone, and we have put them at the centre of this article: how to actually read a website address, and what happens to someone who is defrauded more than once.
The subdomain: how to read an address
Our client sent us the link to the platform, which is this: inv.my-dash-board.com.
Faced with such an address, most people read from the left, stop at the first word they recognise and form a view. It works the other way round.
An internet address is read from right to left. The part that matters is the one immediately before the final extension: here, my-dash-board.com. That is the real domain, the only one someone bought and someone owns.
Everything that in inv.my-dash-board.com comes before — here "inv." — is a subdomain, freely chosen by the owner of the domain. It costs nothing, requires no verification, and as many can be created as wanted: inv, secure, login, client-area, and the name of any bank or company. A subdomain certifies absolutely nothing.
There is a detail here that makes the mechanism even clearer. We verified that the main domain on its own does not answer: there is no site at the address without the prefix. Only the subdomain exists. That is a deliberate choice: the shop window sits on a branch, the trunk stays empty, and when that branch is reported another is created in seconds, on the same domain under a different name.
The practical rule, to apply before paying any money: identify the last two parts of the address, ignore everything before them, and search for that domain.
What the registers say
The public registers of the domain behind inv.my-dash-board.com show that the main domain was registered on 23 October 2025 with a North American registrar, expiring on 23 October 2027. Its technical records were last changed on 21 October 2026, that is, while the platform was fully operational: a sign of reconfiguration in progress.
We found no company name, no VAT number, no registered office and no reference to any authorisation connected to inv.my-dash-board.com, and no entry in the registers kept by CONSOB, the Italian market authority, or among the EU intermediaries entitled to operate in Italy. Collecting money from the public to invest it in financial instruments without authorisation is the offence of unlawful provision of investment services under article 166 of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance, punished by one to eight years' imprisonment.
Neither the main domain of inv.my-dash-board.com nor the subdomain has a mail server configured: no email can be received at those addresses.
The platform is still live, and "new brokers" have arrived
As we write, inv.my-dash-board.com still answers, and our client was told that his position was passing to new brokers.
That development needs reading correctly. It is not a change of management, it is an internal handover: when an operator has exhausted his credibility with a person, that person is assigned to another contact, who appears in a different tone, perhaps more formal, and starts again. The client is not abandoned: he is recycled.
For the reader this means two things. The first is that a "new contact person" is never good news. The second is that while the platform is live the evidence can still be gathered: screenshots of the dashboard, of the open position, of the balances, of the conversations. They must be saved today, not when the site disappears.
When it is not the first time
We come to the most delicate part of this case.
It emerged from our discussions that inv.my-dash-board.com was not the first fraud our client had suffered, but the fifth. And that, when he came to us, he still partly believed in the platform, despite having already filed a complaint.
We report this without any irony, because it is a structural phenomenon and not a personal failing. Someone defrauded once is statistically far more exposed than other people, for three precise reasons.
The first is that victims' data are resold. Lists circulate between different groups containing name, contact details, amount lost and platform involved. Whoever makes contact second does not start from scratch: they already know everything, and that makes their approach credible in a way no stranger could be.
The second is sunk cost. Once a person has already lost a significant sum, any proposal promising to recover it is weighed differently: not as a new risk, but as the only way to cancel a loss already suffered.
The third is that the second approach is built on the first. Whoever writes knows the name of the earlier platform, the amount, sometimes even the name of the fake broker. They present themselves as the person who can remedy that very harm.
To anyone who recognises themselves in this description we say one thing only: it is not a question of naivety, it is a question of having ended up on a list. The only effective defence is a mechanical rule, applied without exception: no advance payment, to anyone, for any reason, above all if the person writing shows they know about the fraud you suffered.
Telling the family a lower figure
There is another element we met in the inv.my-dash-board.com case and that we meet constantly: the amount reported to the family was lower than the real one.
It is understandable and, in our experience, it is also one of the costliest mistakes. The reason is practical before it is moral: an incomplete reconstruction produces an incomplete complaint, and an incomplete complaint limits the enquiries that can be requested. But there is more. Isolation is a condition these organisations need: a person who talks about it openly at home is far harder to persuade into the next payment.
You do not have to face that part alone. In the assessments we carry out we often ask for a family member to be present, precisely for this reason.
He has already filed a complaint: what can be done now
For inv.my-dash-board.com our client had already filed a complaint with the police. That is the right thing, and it is the starting point, not the finish line.
After the complaint it is possible and advisable to: appoint a defence lawyer and lodge a supplementary memorandum with the complete documentation, including payments not initially mentioned; request, under article 335 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, information on the entries concerning the proceedings; press for the acquisition of the banking records and of the data of the holders of the destination accounts; request preventive seizure of any sums still present under article 321. It should also be remembered that, where dismissal is sought, the injured party who has asked for it is entitled to notice and may lodge an opposition under articles 408, second paragraph, and 410.
Knowing that a file exists is not enough: it has to be followed.
The facial recognition handed over
An identity document, a tax code and a facial recognition check had been supplied to inv.my-dash-board.com.
This is the most sensitive element, because with a document and a facial check it is possible to attempt to open accounts, exchange positions and credit lines in the victim's name, and those accounts can then be used to move money from other frauds. The risk is not only financial: it is that of being drawn into acts committed by others. The handing over of the facial recognition must be stated expressly in the complaint, and enhanced monitoring should be requested from the bank.
The criminal framework
The conduct of whoever ran inv.my-dash-board.com amounts to fraud under article 640 of the Italian Criminal Code, aggravated under the second paragraph no. 2-bis in relation to article 61 no. 5 and by the aggravating circumstance introduced in paragraph 2-ter by law 90/2024, applicable because the facts date from 2026. The repeated payments constitute a single criminal design under article 81, second paragraph.
To this are added unlawful financial activity under article 166 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, impersonation under article 494 for the identities used by the self-styled brokers and, as regards whoever made the Italian destination accounts available, money laundering under article 648-bis or self-laundering under article 648-ter.1.
Banking records can be obtained for ten years under article 119, fourth paragraph, of the Consolidated Banking Law, and intermediaries keep identification data for the same period under legislative decree 231/2007. Aggravated fraud becomes time-barred after six years, up to seven years and six months with interrupting acts; the civil claim follows the longer term under article 2947, third paragraph, of the Civil Code. For sums that left Italy, the European Investigation Order under legislative decree 108/2017 applies.
What to do now
Do not pay any more money to inv.my-dash-board.com or to the "new brokers", whatever you are told. Save all the screenshots today, while the platform still answers. Secure your documents and credentials. Complete the complaint already filed with the full documentation and the real amount. And do not turn to anyone who contacts you promising immediate recovery: after five frauds, your name is certainly in circulation.
