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: 2026-04-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-25 12:22:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-07 19:40:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-25 12:38:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc3f1-d546-7703-a1db-f02be96d1939/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/shelfglobaltrading.co.za crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.shelfglobaltrading.co.za Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=shelfglobaltrading.co.za AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/shelfglobaltrading.co.za URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/shelfglobaltrading.co.za/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-25 12:23:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies shelfglobaltrading.co.za as an active fake invoice scam domain currently under investigation. This domain is designed to impersonate a trading entity and deceive users into processing fraudulent invoices, with the ultimate goal of stealing payment credentials or diverting legitimate transactions. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of seed 385553, indicating no detection at the time of analysis. It is hosted on IP address 102.223.187.41, registered through HOSTAFRICA, and secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain shelfglobaltrading.co.za was created on March 16, 2026, less than one week ago, suggesting a very recent deployment intended for short-term malicious operations. It remains unlisted on all major threat intelligence blocklists as of this report. Given the active status of this fake invoice scam, users and organizations are strongly advised to block access to shelfglobaltrading.co.za at the network level and avoid any interaction with the domain. Domains registered within the past seven days with zero detections and low trust scores pose elevated immediate risk. Security teams should prioritize monitoring for related lures in email campaigns and update email filtering rules to block messages referencing this domain or its impersonated brand. Report any observed activity to your security provider or PhishDestroy for further correlation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 15/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7c2ac69b01a4a613696db4fd8f069438 TLS cert SHA-256: 50c62c6710690ef9df141a25ccae73e122c4833330bc7fbd9bcc4a3849086f62 ## 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/shelfglobaltrading.co.za/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shelfglobaltrading.co.za 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.
