driveless.pt is a phishing page that presents itself under the Driveless name with the tagline "Driveless - Enjoy More". It is aimed at people who expect to reach that brand, most likely Portuguese-speaking users given the .pt domain and local hosting. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-11. The site was still up and serving content when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages copy the look and wording of a known service so visitors trust what they see. They then ask for whatever the operator can use, typically login credentials, personal details or payment card data, through forms that feed straight to the attacker. A victim can lose account access, card funds or identity data that is later reused for fraud. The page title shows a brand name that matches the domain itself, while PhishDestroy classifies the live content as impersonation.
Evidence
Six of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-10-16: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar and URLQuery. That is a minority of engines, but the vendors are independent of each other and of PhishDestroy. The domain also appears in 34 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows that other analysts have been tracking it. Among blocklists, only PhishDestroy currently lists it, so many browsers and filters may not warn visitors yet.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2018-06-21, more than eight years before PhishDestroy detected it. That age lets it pass reputation checks that usually catch freshly registered phishing domains. It resolves to 188.93.230.40 on the Claranet Portugal S.A network in Portugal, so it sits alongside ordinary Portuguese business hosting. The free Let's Encrypt certificate gives the site a padlock, which only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about who runs the page.
What to do
If you entered a password on this site, change it right away on the real Driveless service and on any other account that uses the same password, then turn on two-factor authentication. If you submitted card details, call your bank, cancel the card and dispute any charges you don't recognize. If you shared ID documents or personal data, watch for follow-up phishing calls, texts or emails that reference what you gave. Defenders should block driveless.pt and 188.93.230.40 at DNS and proxy level, search their logs for past visits, and reset credentials for any users who reached the site.

Questions about driveless.pt
Is driveless.pt legit?
No. PhishDestroy classifies driveless.pt as a Facebook impersonation page (risk: critical, 88/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-10. VirusTotal: 6/92 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is driveless.pt safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on driveless.pt. 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 driveless.pt?
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.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

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 driveless.pt)
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
