Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, merhabet.games, poses a specific threat as a generic phishing site that mimics a legitimate online casino platform, targeting Turkish-speaking users with a fraudulent welcome bonus of 70,000 TRY and 600 free spins. The site is designed to steal sensitive personal and financial information, including login credentials and payment details, by deceiving victims into registering or depositing funds. Infrastructure analysis indicates the domain is hosted on IP 188.114.97.3 and remains active, posing an ongoing risk to users who encounter it through unsolicited links or search results. Technical evidence confirms the threat level. VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 security vendors detecting the domain as malicious, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for privacy-focused services, on June 23, 2026—a future date suggesting potential data manipulation or testing. No blocklist entries have been recorded, and the domain's status is under investigation, meaning it may evade initial automated detection. The page title explicitly uses Turkish language and currency, targeting a specific demographic. Users who have visited merhabet.games should immediately clear their browser cache and cookies, run a full antivirus scan, and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. If credentials were entered, they must change passwords on all accounts using the same login details and enable two-factor authentication where available. Report the domain to local cybersecurity authorities and consider placing a fraud alert on credit files. Avoid interacting with any communications from this domain and do not click on any links or download files from it. Continued vigilance is advised as the threat remains active and undetected by most security tools.

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/merhabet.games/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=merhabet.games 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.
