The domain playgq[.]com has been identified as a phishing site that impersonates Amazon and potentially cryptocurrency services. With a VirusTotal detection score of 14 out of 95 and a suspicious rating from Gridinsoft (trust score of 1), this site posed a considerable risk to users seeking legitimate services. The presence of multiple high-risk signals related to Amazon phishing and cryptocurrency further amplifies its danger.

Registered just three days prior to its takedown, playgq[.]com was under the registrar NAMECHEAP INC in Iceland, revealing a relatively new and possibly transient threat. The domain utilized shared hosting, as indicated by its IP address 188.114.96.3. Gridinsoft emphasized the high-risk nature of this domain, which added to the urgency of addressing this threat.

Currently, playgq[.]com has been taken down, and PhishDestroy has reported the incident and blocklisted the domain to prevent further access. Continuous monitoring will ensure that any re-emergence of this threat is swiftly mitigated.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
