biharspice.shop is a fake online store that presents itself as a seller of authentic homemade Bihari pickles. Its page title is "Shop Homemade Achar Online | Authentic Bihari Pickles | Traditional Bihari Pickles." That pitch is aimed at people looking for regional Indian food, including members of the diaspora who miss home-style achar. PhishDestroy first saw the domain on 2026-10-16. On 2026-10-19 the site was still online with its storefront content live.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this one copy the look of a small family food business. They use a traditional-sounding name, product photos and a checkout page that collects the buyer's name, delivery address, phone number and payment. The victim pays for jars of pickle that are never shipped, or that arrive as something worthless. The personal and card details entered at checkout can also be reused for further fraud. A niche, low-cost product like homemade achar keeps each order small enough that many buyers never bother to dispute it.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically flagged it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. On VirusTotal, 5 of 92 engines flagged the domain on 2026-10-16: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue and Netcraft. That is a low count, so many browsers and security tools will not warn visitors yet. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-07-09, about three months before we detected it. That gap is typical of storefronts that are set up quietly and then promoted through ads or social media. The site is hosted on a network registered to Malakmadze Web LLC in Georgia (GE), and its IP address geolocates to the United States.
What to do
Do not place an order on this site. If you already paid by card, call your bank right away, report the charge as fraud and ask for a chargeback. Keep any order confirmation or receipt as evidence. If you paid by bank transfer or a payment app, report the transaction to that provider immediately, because recovery windows are short. Expect follow-up phishing calls or messages that use the phone number and address you gave, and change any password you reused on the site. Defenders should block the domain and look for other recently registered .shop storefronts on the same hosting network.

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.

After a phishing incident
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 biharspice.shop)
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)
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
