Bank of China Brand Impersonation — Listed on PhishDestroy
Stored PhishDestroy threat listing. VirusTotal analysis stored; no vendor detections were recorded at check time. Exercise extreme caution — do not enter credentials or personal information.
PhishDestroy’s intake AI classified bochk.trade as malicious because its page title uses the abbreviation “BOC”, matching the Bank of China brand. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-23 returning HTTP 200 with the recorded title “BOC BRIDGE — Trade Finance Copilot”.
How the scam works
Brand‑impersonation scams create sites that appear to belong to a reputable financial institution and lure visitors into providing credentials, personal data, or payments. Victims are typically convinced they are accessing a legitimate service such as trade‑finance tools or account portals.
Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-22 with 92 engines and reported 0 malicious or suspicious detections. Google Safe Browsing checked on 2026-10-23 and did not flag the site. URLScan captured the page on 2026-10-23; its overall verdict was clean, but its machine‑learning engine assigned a malicious score of 91. OTX listed 0 pulses on 2026-10-23, external blocklists returned no matches, and PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist marked the domain as malicious on 2026-10-23.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-19 through Spaceship, Inc., giving it a 64‑day age at the time of first sighting. DNS records observed on 2026-10-23 pointed to IP 216.198.79.1, which the WHOIS data listed as belonging to Network Billing Systems in the United States, and the site presented a Let’s Encrypt TLS 1.3 certificate issued on 2026-10-21. DNSSEC was enabled for the zone and the hosting stack recorded Vercel as the server software.
What to do
Users should avoid entering any credentials or personal information on the site and, if they have already done so, change associated passwords and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. Defenders should add bochk.trade to internal blocklists, review logs for connections to 216.198.79.1, and monitor for any related abuse.

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 bochk.trade)
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
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.
