buybtcvps.com is an impersonation phishing page that uses Bitcoin branding to present itself as a hosting provider. It targets people looking for servers they can rent anonymously with cryptocurrency. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-03. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its content.
How the scam works
The page is titled "BuyBTCVPS — Bitcoin & Crypto VPS and Dedicated Servers", so it looks like a hosting storefront. We classify it as Bitcoin impersonation phishing, not as a genuine hosting service. Schemes of this kind use a familiar crypto name and a plausible product to collect sign-up credentials, contact details and up-front cryptocurrency payments. Bitcoin transfers cannot be reversed, so money sent for a server that never materialises, or for follow-up "activation" or "verification" charges, is gone. Logins created on the site can also be tried against other services where the same password is reused.
Evidence
On 2026-10-18, 5 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a small share, which means many browsers and security tools may not warn visitors yet. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it independently. PhishDestroy is currently the only blocklist listing it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on 2026-07-04, about two months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap is long enough to build a convincing storefront before reports start. The site sits behind Cloudflare, Inc., with the address geolocating to Canada, which hides the actual origin server. Its TLS certificate comes from Google Trust Services, so the browser padlock only shows the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the site is honest.
What to do
Do not send any further Bitcoin to this site, whatever fee, upgrade or unlock charge it asks for. If you already paid, save the transaction ID, order details and any emails, then report them to PhishDestroy and to the exchange or wallet service you paid from. If you created an account there, change that password wherever you reused it and turn on two-factor authentication for your email and exchange accounts. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and web proxies and check logs for users who visited or submitted forms. Report it to Cloudflare and NameCheap so takedown can proceed.

After a phishing incident
Rekomendasi & Saran bagi Para Korban
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Apa yang harus saya lakukan segera?
Mendesak
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Ubah semua kata sandi — email, akun Exchange, apa pun yang menggunakan kata sandi yang sama
Aktifkan 2FA menggunakan aplikasi otentikator (bukan SMS). Nonaktifkan pemulihan berbasis SMS
Kartu pembeku jika Anda telah memasukkan detail perbankan di situs phishing tersebut
Informasi apa saja yang sebaiknya saya kumpulkan untuk laporan saya?
Pedoman FBI
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.
Tanggal dan waktu yang tepat — dari setiap transaksi dan kontak pertama dengan penipu
Tangkapan layar — situs web penipuan, pesan obrolan, email, transaksi dompet digital, media sosial
Semua URL & domain digunakan oleh penipu (termasuk buybtcvps.com)
Komunikasi — email, pesan teks, nomor telepon, dan nama pengguna yang digunakan oleh penipu tersebut
Meskipun kamu belum mengetahui semua detailnya — tetap saja ajukan laporan. Informasi yang tidak lengkap tetap dapat membantu penyelidikan.
Ke mana saya harus melaporkan penipuan ini?
FBI IC3 — Pusat Pengaduan Kejahatan Internet (Laporan tingkat federal AS)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polisi setempat — membuat catatan resmi, meskipun mereka tidak dapat bertindak segera
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?
Situs web palsu — salinan yang persis sama dengan situs asli, dengan domain yang sedikit diubah
Pemotongan babi — kepercayaan yang dibangun selama beberapa minggu melalui Telegram/WhatsApp/aplikasi kencan, lalu uangnya dicuri
Penipuan pemulihan — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Penipuan yang didukung oleh kecerdasan buatan — deepfakes, serangan phishing otomatis, dan situs yang dihasilkan oleh kecerdasan buatan (AI) yang membuat penipuan semakin sulit dideteksi
Bagaimana cara saya melindungi diri di masa depan?
Tandai situs resmi — jangan pernah mengklik tautan dari email, pesan langsung (DM), atau iklan
Memverifikasi domain — periksa PhishDestroy Sebelum berinteraksi. Periksa HTTPS, ejaan, dan usia domain
"Terlalu bagus untuk jadi kenyataan" = penipuan — imbal hasil yang dijamin, dukungan dari selebriti, tenggat waktu yang mendesak
