Security engines reporting a detection: 13. Public blocklists reporting a match: 2. Exercise extreme caution — do not enter credentials or personal information.
PhishDestroy added app.phantomlocal.com to its internal blocklist on 2026-10-19. The page title was not captured, so no claim about displayed branding can be made. Google Safe Browsing reported the URL as safe and Spamhaus DBL did not list it at the time of checking.
How the scam works
Because the domain lacks a specific classification, PhishDestroy cannot attribute a particular fraud or malware technique to it. In general, domains that trigger multiple AV detections may be used for phishing, credential harvesting, or malicious code delivery, but no such behavior was observed for this site.
Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-19 and recorded 13 positive detections out of 92 engines, including AlphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, DNS8, G-Data, Gridinsoft and Kaspersky. Google Safe Browsing checked the same day and returned no warning. External blocklists MetaMask and SEAL both listed the domain, giving a total of two external hits. PhishDestroy’s own internal list also marks the domain, while Spamhaus DBL and OTX reported no listings or pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain resolved to the IP address 76.76.21.142 at the time of observation. No registration, CDN, or certificate details are available, and the IP alone does not reveal the operator’s identity.
What to do
Users should avoid visiting the site or submitting any credentials, passwords or personal information. If any credentials were entered, change them immediately and monitor associated accounts for unauthorized activity. Network defenders should block traffic to app.phantomlocal.com and review logs for any prior connections to the recorded IP address.

How do crypto scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
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
