Registrar contextNiceNIC
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
The domain takeusepaid.xyz was observed with multiple security-related listings, including a record on the MetaMask blocklist as of 2026-10-07. It also achieved a PageSpeed performance score of 93 on that same date, indicating a technically responsive site.
Recorded Evidence
On 2026-10-07, takeusepaid.xyz appeared on both the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists. VirusTotal, as of 2026-10-01, reported 8 detections out of 92 scanners for this domain. The registrar was NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and the SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt / YE1. OTX pulses included takeusepaid.xyz in three records as of 2026-10-07. The domain was first observed on 2026-10-07 and registered on 2026-09-30.
Interpretation
The presence of takeusepaid.xyz on multiple external blocklists and its inclusion in several OTX pulses suggest that it has attracted attention from security monitoring services. The VirusTotal detections further indicate that the domain has been flagged by a subset of scanning engines, which may be relevant for risk assessment. These observations are based on specific dates and do not imply any ongoing or resolved status beyond the recorded evidence.
Recommended Actions
Given the blocklist records and VirusTotal detections for takeusepaid.xyz, it is advisable to review these sources when evaluating the domain. Retain the MetaMask, SEAL, and OTX listings, as well as the VirusTotal scan results, for future comparison. Regularly consult these sources for updates to maintain an informed perspective on the domain's status.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
