# PhishDestroy threat dossier — interpolrefundservice.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-27 20:13:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/interpolrefundservice.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, ESET, G-Data ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 15.197.240.20 (CA, Montreal) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS Global Accelerator (GLOBAL) Registrar: GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com Nameservers: ["ns1.verification-hold.suspended-domain.com", "ns2.verification-hold.suspended-domain.com"] Registered: 2026-04-20 Page title: interpolrefundservice.com ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: GoDaddy.com / GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 Expires: 2026-11-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b54063eb4262a810a132154147ad72feca9f7580159b8ffbb333aba726731c2d ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 16:10:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:13:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dab02-01e6-75ad-b036-082e0eaa5d94/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/interpolrefundservice.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.interpolrefundservice.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=interpolrefundservice.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/interpolrefundservice.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/interpolrefundservice.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 16:11:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies interpolrefundservice.com as a live refund phishing scam posing as an INTERPOL service, currently under investigation for active fraudulent activity. The domain leverages spoofed legitimacy to deceive users into submitting sensitive financial or personal information under false pretenses. This is a targeted social engineering attack designed to exploit trust in international law enforcement agencies. Users should approach with extreme caution and verify any unsolicited refund offers through official INTERPOL channels only. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a risk level marked as under_investigation due to emerging threat intelligence. Technical indicators include resolution to IP 15.197.240.20, an SSL certificate issued by GoDaddy.com, registration through GMO Internet, Inc., and a domain creation date of June 16, 2025. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines, indicating the domain has not yet been widely blacklisted or flagged by automated detection systems. The absence of detections suggests either a recently deployed campaign or one deliberately designed to evade early-stage detection mechanisms. Given the specific threat type—refund phishing—users must avoid interacting with any solicitations from this domain or similar spoofed sites. Never input personal, financial, or login credentials into web forms associated with interpolrefundservice.com. If you have already engaged, immediately contact your bank to freeze transactions and report the incident to INTERPOL or your local cybercrime unit. Additionally, clear browser cache and cookies related to this domain, and consider using a dedicated tool like a URL reputation checker or security extension to preemptively block access. Always verify financial or legal communications through official, independently sourced contact information rather than links provided in unsolicited messages. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: b54063eb4262a810a132154147ad72feca9f7580159b8ffbb333aba726731c2d ## 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/interpolrefundservice.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=interpolrefundservice.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.
