PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

PhishDestroy’s automated assessment classifies ankerhames.net as an impersonation phishing page. The page metadata captured on 2026-10-27 describes “Free Pre‑installed PC Games – Download & Play”, which mimics the AnkerGames brand. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-27 and returned an HTTP 301 redirect to ankergamers.com, a domain previously confirmed as phishing.

How the scam works

Impersonation phishing typically uses a newly registered look‑alike domain to host content that copies a legitimate brand’s name and visual cues. Victims are lured to the fake site or its redirect where they may be prompted to enter credentials or download malicious files.

Evidence

VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-24 and reported 0 detections from 92 engines. Google Safe Browsing (checked 2026-10-27) did not flag the domain, while OTX listed four pulses referencing it as of 2026-10-27 and Spamhaus DBL listed it as spam on the same date. PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist includes the domain, and URLScan captured the 301 redirect to ankergamers.com, assigning a malicious engine score of 81 though its overall verdict was non‑malicious.

Infrastructure

The domain was registered on 2026-10-23 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, giving it a recorded age of three days at the time of capture. The recorded IP address observed on 2026-10-27 was 104.21.72.38, served via Cloudflare, and the TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt was valid until 2027-01-21. Nameservers kaiser.ns.cloudflare.com and suzanne.ns.cloudflare.com were recorded, and DNSSEC was not present.

What to do

Users who may have entered credentials on ankerhames.net should change those passwords on the legitimate service immediately and monitor for unauthorized activity. Defenders should block the exact hostname, log any requests to it, and keep the redirect target ankergamers.com under observation.

NiceNIC Verdict Full Investigation

Questions about ankerhames.net

Is ankerhames.net legit?

No. PhishDestroy classifies ankerhames.net as a Minecraft impersonation page (risk: critical, 73/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-26. Listed on Spamhaus DBL. Treat the site as unsafe.

Is ankerhames.net safe to connect a wallet?

No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on ankerhames.net. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.

What should I do if I used ankerhames.net?

Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

Were You Affected by This Site?

You are not alone and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Scammers are sophisticated criminals who exploit trust. Reporting your experience is the most powerful weapon against fraud — your report can prevent others from becoming victims and help law enforcement take action. Silence is the scammer’s greatest advantage. Break it.
If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.

If credentials, payment data, or files were exposed, report the incident immediately. Change affected passwords, revoke active sessions, and scan the device.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

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

What should I do immediately?

Urgent

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

  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site

What information should I collect for my report?

FBI guidelines

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.
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including ankerhames.net)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?

  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

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?

  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect

How can I protect myself in the future?

  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines

About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections

This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.

The AI-assisted analysis was written on . It describes the evidence available at that time; later source checks can change.

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
