gov-sp.com impersonated the Government of India. Its Hindi page title, "कर दंड सूचना - भारत सरकार", translates to "Tax Penalty Notice - Government of India". It targeted people in India who might be frightened by an official-looking tax demand. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-13, one day after registration. It has been offline since 2026-10-13, and on 2026-10-19 the site was still dead, with its content blocked by the hosting provider.
How the scam works
Fake tax penalty notices work through fear and urgency. A page like this typically tells the visitor they owe a fine to the government and warns of escalating consequences unless they act immediately. Victims are then pushed to pay the supposed penalty or to enter identity, tax and banking details, which can be reused for fraud or follow-up scams. The Hindi title and government branding are meant to make the demand look like it came from Indian tax authorities.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the page malicious and recognised Indian government branding on it. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL under the phishing category, and it appears in four OTX threat pulses. VirusTotal told a different story on 2026-10-13, when none of its 92 engines flagged the domain. That clean score reflects how new the site was rather than any sign that it was safe, which is why the urlscan.io and Spamhaus findings carry the weight here.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-12 and detected the next day. That timing fits a short-lived campaign built to reach victims before blocklists catch up. It was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and sat behind Cloudflare's network, with an IP geolocated to Canada. A certificate from Google Trust Services gave it a browser padlock, which only means the connection was encrypted and says nothing about whether the page was genuine.
What to do
If you paid a "penalty" through this page, contact your bank or payment provider immediately to dispute the transaction, and report the fraud to India's national cybercrime reporting channels. If you entered PAN, Aadhaar, bank or card details, alert your bank, consider blocking affected cards, and treat any follow-up call or message that cites your data as suspicious. Genuine tax notices can be verified by logging in to the official tax portal directly, never through a link in a message. Defenders should block the domain and hunt for messages that use Hindi tax-penalty lures pointing to look-alike government domains.

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 gov-sp.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
