bentcluboutdoors.shop is a fake online store posing as BENT, also branded Bent-Club, a seller of camping and vehicle-awning accessories. It targets campers, overlanders and van owners shopping for outdoor gear. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-13. As of 2026-10-19 the site is still online and serving its storefront.
How the scam works
The page presents itself as "BENT - Connectable awnings, rugs, cushion rolls and more. | Bent-Club" and uses the brand's product range to look like a legitimate retailer. Shops like this usually attract buyers with discounts that look plausible for niche gear, then take card or payment details at checkout. The goods typically never arrive, or a cheap substitute is sent so the seller can claim delivery. Victims lose the purchase price and hand their name, address and card data to the operators, who may reuse it.
Evidence
Nine of 92 VirusTotal engines classify the domain as malicious, including BitDefender, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Netcraft, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue and alphaMountain.ai, as of 2026-10-17. These are separate vendors with their own detection methods, so the agreement is meaningful even though most engines have not yet caught up. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically identified the site as a fake shop. The domain appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-04-27, about five and a half months before PhishDestroy detected it. A gap that long suggests the domain was registered in advance and left idle, or that it ran quietly before being flagged. The site is hosted in the US on the Malakmadze Web LLC network and uses a free automated Let's Encrypt certificate. The padlock in the browser therefore says nothing about whether the shop is legitimate.
What to do
Do not place orders on this site. If you already paid by card, contact your bank right away to dispute the charge as non-delivery or fraud and ask for a replacement card. If you paid through PayPal or a similar service, open a buyer-protection claim. Expect phishing emails or texts that use your order details, and change any password you reused when creating an account there. Security teams should block the domain and report it to card networks and consumer-fraud channels, and anyone selling genuine BENT products should warn customers about lookalike shops.
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.
