berotime.shop is a fraudulent storefront whose pages carry the title "Bell". It poses as an ordinary retail shop to attract online shoppers looking for discounted products. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-13. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and its shop content was live, so it can still take orders.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this one list desirable products at prices well below normal retail, then collect payment at a checkout that looks legitimate. The buyer usually gets nothing, or receives a cheap item unrelated to the order. Meanwhile the operator keeps the money along with the name, address, phone number and card details typed into the order form. Those card details can be charged again or resold, so the loss can grow beyond the original purchase. The generic "Bell" branding offers nothing a shopper could check against a real company.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically flagged it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. On VirusTotal, 6 of 92 engines flagged the domain as of 2026-10-17: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and URLQuery. Coverage is still thin, so most browsers and security products will likely show no warning. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which means other researchers have tied it to malicious activity.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-25, about four and a half months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap fits a shop set up ahead of time and switched on later. The server sits on the Malakmadze Web LLC network, which is registered in Georgia (GE), while the IP address geolocates to the United States. The certificate is a free Let's Encrypt one, so the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the shop is genuine.
What to do
If you paid on berotime.shop, contact your card issuer or bank right away, report the transaction as fraud and request a chargeback. Ask whether the card should be replaced. Watch your statements for later unauthorised charges. Treat any emails or calls that mention your "order" as possible follow-up scams, and do not pay extra "shipping" or "customs" fees. Security teams should block the domain and its hosting IP at web proxies and DNS filters, and warn shoppers about lookalike storefronts.
