badgertoolbeltsshop.shop is a fake online store that uses the Badger Tool Belts name. Its page is titled "Blue Collar Briefcases | Badger Tool Belts" and is aimed at tradespeople and gift buyers shopping for tool belts and work bags. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-10. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its storefront.
How the scam works
The site copies the look and language of a work-gear brand and pairs it with a domain that adds "shop" twice, so it reads like an official outlet. Shoppers are usually drawn in by steep discounts or clearance-style offers and pay by card at checkout. Typically the goods never arrive, or a cheap item unrelated to the order is shipped. The buyer loses the purchase price and hands over payment details, name, address and phone number, which can be reused for fraud or further scam attempts.
Evidence
On 2026-10-15, 11 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data and Gridinsoft. That is a minority of engines, but the vendors come from several independent security companies. urlscan.io gave the site a malicious verdict and specifically identified it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses. Among blocklists, it is currently listed only by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-04-18, almost six months before PhishDestroy detected it. Fake shops often register a domain early and leave it idle before launching it. The site is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network, which is registered in Georgia, while its server address geolocates to the United States. The certificate is a free Let's Encrypt one, so the padlock in the browser only shows an encrypted connection and says nothing about whether the shop is genuine.
What to do
If you paid on this site, contact your card issuer or bank right away. Report the transaction as fraud, request a chargeback and ask for a replacement card. Keep your order confirmation emails and screenshots as evidence. Watch for follow-up phishing that uses your name and address, such as fake delivery or refund messages. If you created an account, change that password anywhere else you reused it. Security teams and payment providers should block the domain and report it to the hosting provider and registrar.
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.

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.
