benchmarkactive.shop is a fake online shop dressed up as a performance running and cycling retailer called Benchmark. It advertises premium apparel labels PAS Normal Studios and MAAP. It targets riders and runners searching for those brands at a discount. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-13, and the storefront was still online and serving content when checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title, "Performance Running & Cycling : PAS Normal Studios : MAAP | Benchmark", is built to look like a legitimate specialist stockist of high-end kit. Shops like this usually list sought-after jerseys and bib shorts at prices well below retail to push quick checkouts. The buyer pays for an order that never arrives, or that arrives as a cheap substitute. The card or payment details typed at checkout also end up with the operators. Refunds and customer service usually go nowhere once the money is taken.
Evidence
On 2026-10-13, six of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue and Netcraft. That count is modest, but it is typical for a young shop domain. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically marked it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as spam, and it appears in three AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-19, about five months before we detected it. That gap suggests it was prepared in advance and possibly promoted for a while before blocklists caught up. The site is hosted on Malakmadze Web LLC's network in Georgia. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a browser padlock, which only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the seller is genuine.
What to do
If you ordered from this site, contact your bank or card issuer right away. Ask them to dispute the charge as non-delivery or fraud, and replace the card if you entered its details. Keep your order confirmation, emails and any payment receipts as evidence for the chargeback. Watch your statements for small test charges, and treat any follow-up messages about delivery fees or tracking with suspicion. Security teams and payment providers should block the domain and report it to the brands being name-dropped, and buyers should shop MAAP and PAS Normal Studios only through the brands' own stores or retailers they list.

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.
