itei.org.mx is classified by PhishDestroy as an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as the Instituto de Transparencia, Información Pública y Protección de Datos Personales del Estado de Jalisco. Its likely audience is Mexican citizens, journalists and officials who file information requests or data-protection complaints with that institute. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-04. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving content.
How the scam works
The page carries the full official name of the Jalisco transparency institute, so visitors see a government body they already expect to trust. Impersonation pages like this usually use that trust to collect logins, contact details, identity documents or the contents of public-records requests and complaints, which can later be used for fraud or targeted follow-up scams. The page title matches the institute's own name, and our impersonation classification rests on how the site is operated, not on a mismatched title.
Evidence
Six of 89 engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain in a check on 2026-09-14. The flagging vendors were alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That is a minority verdict, but it comes from several unrelated vendors. The domain also appears in seven AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers are tracking it. Among blocklists, only PhishDestroy currently lists it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2005-09-05 through AKKY ONLINE SOLUTIONS, S.A. DE C.V., the registrar behind Mexico's .mx zone. That is nearly 21 years before PhishDestroy flagged it, far older than the throwaway domains typical of phishing. The site is hosted on Cogent Communications in the United States rather than in Mexico. It uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the padlock in the browser says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
If you submitted a request, complaint, password or identity documents through this site, change that password wherever you have reused it. Treat any follow-up calls, emails or messages that cite your submission as possible fraud. If you shared a copy of your INE or CURP, watch for misuse and confirm your filing directly with the Jalisco transparency institute through a contact channel you found independently. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and mail gateways and add it to phishing filters. Report it to the registrar and the hosting network so they can review it.
No. PhishDestroy classifies itei.org.mx as a phishing page (risk: critical, 88/100); it was first detected on 2026-09-04. VirusTotal: 6/89 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is itei.org.mx safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on itei.org.mx. 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 itei.org.mx?
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.

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 itei.org.mx)
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
