bhgear.shop presents itself as a sports retailer under the page title "Skate, Snow". It targets people shopping for skateboards, snowboards and related gear. PhishDestroy classifies it as an e-commerce scam and first flagged it on 2026-10-16. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its storefront.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this copy the look of a real board-sports store and fill it with product photos and prices well below normal retail. They count on buyers who are chasing a seasonal deal and check out quickly. Victims pay by card or another method and then receive nothing, a cheap item unrelated to the order, or a tracking number that never updates. Each checkout also gives the operators the buyer's name, address, email, phone number and often card details, which can be reused for fraud or targeted phishing.
Evidence
Seven of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain on 2026-10-19: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Netcraft and SOCRadar. That is a minority of engines, but several of these vendors specialize in fraud and phishing detection. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and tagged it specifically as a fake shop, which matches our classification. The domain appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-06-10, about four months before PhishDestroy detected it. A gap like that lets a storefront build up some history before it starts drawing complaints. The site is hosted in the US on the Malakmadze Web LLC network at 195.96.130.212.
What to do
If you ordered from bhgear.shop, contact your bank or card issuer now, report the charge as fraud and request a chargeback. Ask them to reissue the card if you typed its number on the site. If you created an account, change that password anywhere else you have used it. Expect phishing emails, texts or fake delivery notices that use the name and address you gave, and do not click links in them. Defenders and retailers should block the domain and its hosting IP, and report it to payment processors so they can cut off its ability to take payments.

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.
