PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

mettax.vip is an impersonation phishing site whose page carries the title "Met tax" and which sits on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists, the lists crypto wallets use to warn their users. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-10-14, one day after the domain was registered. As of 2026-10-19 the domain still resolves, but its front page serves no content.

How the scam works

Impersonation pages copy the look and wording of a service people already trust, then ask for something valuable, usually a login, a wallet recovery phrase, a wallet connection or a payment. The "Met tax" title points to a lure built around a supposed tax or fee, a common hook for pressuring victims into paying or into "verifying" their wallet before they can settle a charge. Anyone who gives up a seed phrase or approves a transaction can lose the wallet's assets permanently. An empty front page does not make the domain harmless, because the same name can be reused for the next campaign.

Evidence

On 2026-10-18, 16 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data and Gridinsoft. Spamhaus lists it in its domain blocklist under the spam category. Its inclusion in the MetaMask and SEAL lists means wallet-focused defenders reached the same verdict independently. Two AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference the domain.

Infrastructure

The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on 2026-10-13, and PhishDestroy caught it the next day. That timing is typical of disposable phishing domains that are set up and used almost immediately. The site is hosted in the United States on the Zillion Network Inc. network at 154.81.136.224. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a browser padlock, which shows only that the connection is encrypted, not that the site is legitimate.

What to do

If you entered a recovery phrase on this site, treat that wallet as compromised and move your funds to a new wallet created with a fresh phrase. If you connected a wallet or signed anything there, review your token approvals and revoke any you don't recognize. If you paid a "tax" or fee, contact your bank or payment provider right away and keep your transaction details. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP and flag any messages that mention a "Met tax" charge.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

Empfehlungen und Ratschläge für Betroffene

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.

Was soll ich sofort tun?

Dringend

Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

  • Alle Passwörter ändern — E-Mail, Exchange-Konten, alles, wofür dasselbe Passwort verwendet wird
  • 2FA aktivieren mit einer Authentifizierungs-App (nicht per SMS). Deaktivieren Sie die SMS-basierte Wiederherstellung
  • Karten einfrieren Falls Sie auf der Phishing-Seite Ihre Bankdaten eingegeben haben

Welche Informationen sollte ich für meinen Bericht sammeln?

FBI-Richtlinien

Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗

  • Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
  • Genaue Daten und Uhrzeiten — jeder Transaktion und des ersten Kontakts mit dem Betrüger
  • Screenshots — betrügerische Websites, Chat-Nachrichten, E-Mails, Wallet-Transaktionen, soziale Medien
  • Alle URLs und Domains die der Betrüger verwendet (einschließlich mettax.vip)
  • Kommunikation — E-Mails, SMS, Telefonnummern, Benutzernamen, die der Betrüger verwendet hat

Auch wenn dir nicht alle Details bekannt sind — trotzdem Anzeige erstatten. Auch unvollständige Informationen sind für die Ermittlungen hilfreich.

Wo soll ich den Betrugsfall melden?

  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (Meldestelle der US-Bundesbehörden)
  • Europol — Meldungen zu Cyberkriminalität in Europa (EU)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Ortspolizei — sorgt für eine offizielle Dokumentation, auch wenn sie nicht sofort handeln können

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do phishing scams typically work?

  • Gefälschte Websites — pixelgenaue Kopien legitimer Websites mit leicht abgeänderten Domains
  • Schweineschlachtung — über Wochen hinweg über Telegram, WhatsApp und Dating-Apps aufgebautes Vertrauen, dann wurde Geld gestohlen
  • Betrugsmaschen im Zusammenhang mit der Rückforderung von Geldern — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • Durch KI gestützte Betrugsmaschen — Deepfakes, automatisiertes Phishing und KI-generierte Websites, die es erschweren, Betrugsversuche zu erkennen

Wie kann ich mich in Zukunft schützen?

  • Offizielle Websites als Lesezeichen speichern — Klicken Sie niemals auf Links in E-Mails, Direktnachrichten oder Anzeigen
  • Domains überprüfen — nachsehen, ob PhishDestroy Bevor Sie Kontakt aufnehmen: Überprüfen Sie HTTPS, die Rechtschreibung und das Alter der Domain.
  • „Zu schön, um wahr zu sein“ = Betrug — garantierte Renditen, Prominente als Werbeträger, dringende Fristen
