algoritmbot.com presented itself as "POLYMARKET AI", pitching a "ready-made copy-trading setup" in Russian. It borrowed the name of the Polymarket prediction market to win the trust of Russian-speaking users looking for automated profits. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-09. The site has been offline since 2026-09-30, and its DNS was still inactive when we last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title promises a turnkey copy-trading bot attached to a well-known crypto brand. Polymarket offers no such product. Schemes like this typically follow a set pattern. The visitor is told an AI algorithm will mirror winning positions, then is pushed to pay for access, send funds to a "trading balance", or link a crypto wallet to activate the setup. Whatever is paid or deposited goes straight to the operators, and promised profits or withdrawals never arrive.
Evidence
Six of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-09-19: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That is a modest share, but these are independent security vendors reaching the same verdict. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers tracked it too. Among blocklists, it is currently listed by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-04-06 through MAT BAO CORPORATION, a Vietnamese registrar. That was roughly five months before PhishDestroy detected it, so either it sat unused for a while or it ran quietly before being caught. The site sat behind Cloudflare, with the address geolocated to Canada, which hides the real origin server from visitors. It went dark about three weeks after detection, a short lifespan typical of disposable scam domains.
What to do
If you paid for this "Polymarket AI" setup or sent funds to a balance it showed you, treat that money as lost to fraud. Do not pay any follow-up "activation" or "withdrawal" fee to recover it. Report the transaction to your exchange or payment provider right away. If you connected a wallet, review and revoke any token approvals you granted, and move remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Defenders should block algoritmbot.com and watch for new Russian-language "Polymarket AI" copy-trading domains using the same pitch.

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.
