bendergloves.shop is a fraudulent storefront that presents itself as Bender Gloves under the title "High-Quality Golf Gloves & Apparel, From Golfers To Golfers". It targets golfers shopping online for gloves and clothing. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-13. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its shop pages.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this copy the look and wording of a genuine golf brand, then list products at prices attractive enough to rush a purchase. The "from golfers to golfers" pitch is meant to feel like a small, trustworthy specialist. Victims pay at checkout and typically receive nothing, a cheap item unrelated to the order, or a fake tracking number. They also hand over their name, address and card details, which can be reused for further fraud or charges.
Evidence
On 2026-10-17, 16 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. Those vendors include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and Fortinet, which is broad agreement for a young shop domain. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically identified it as a fake shop. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as spam. It appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, meaning other researchers have independently tracked it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-09, about five months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap fits a domain held in reserve or run quietly before drawing attention. It is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia, far from the brand image it projects. The free automated certificate means the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the shop is legitimate.
What to do
Do not place orders on bendergloves.shop. If you already paid, contact your card issuer or payment provider immediately to dispute the charge and request a new card, and keep any order emails or receipts as evidence. If you created an account there, change that password wherever else you reused it. Be wary of follow-up emails or calls about your "order", since they may be further scams. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS and web proxy level and report it to the registrar and hosting provider.
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.

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.
