Domain still online. Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-04-29 00:40:09 UTC Days since first notice: 1 — no registrar action, domain remains online ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dawmax.com as an active malvertising scam posing as a 'Max' discount portal. Instead of genuine savings, visitors are redirected to malicious checkout pages designed to harvest credit-card data. The site’s main lure is a supposed promotion claiming 'Extra 30 % off Max products,' mimicking a well-known retail brand to bypass suspicion. Once a user clicks through, the page loads a convincing checkout form requesting payment details under the guise of processing the fake discount. Behind the scenes, the domain resolves to IP 172.67.152.88 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, making it harder for users to spot the deception at a glance. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy on receipt of multiple user reports and cross-checked against VirusTotal, which currently shows 0 detections out of 95 engines as of today. According to domain registration records, dawmax.com went live on April 16, 2026, and was registered through MAT BAO CORPORATION, a registrar commonly abused for short-lived malicious sites. The use of a newly registered domain (NRD) combined with zero detections highlights a window of opportunity for cybercriminals to operate before detection systems catch up. While the domain remains under investigation, its rapid deployment and low detection rate increase the risk of successful exploitation against unsuspecting shoppers. If you visited dawmax.com or entered any information, act quickly: immediately change passwords on all online accounts, especially banking or payment cards. Review recent transactions for unauthorized charges and contact your bank to report potential fraud. Use an up-to-date antivirus scanner to check for malware, as some malvertising pages silently install tracking scripts or keyloggers. Report the domain to your email provider and browser’s safe-browsing team to help block further distribution. As always, avoid clicking on unsolicited offers promising unusually high discounts—if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260425-5E3501 Favicon MD5: d8974a8bbb2f33885c5817e66c24e72b TLS cert SHA-256: b3f0ea76eea4b055f8d9255e6474ad04bff78078bd511c1de68b807c9806db70 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dawmax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dawmax.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
