bigmaxgolfgear.shop is a fake online store dressed up as BIG MAX Golf, the golf equipment brand known for trolleys, bags and accessories. Its page title, "BIG MAX Golf Equipment | BIG MAX Golf", presents it as an official or authorized outlet, which makes it a trap for golfers searching for discounted gear. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-16, and it was still online and serving its storefront on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Shops like this copy a real brand's product range and post prices well below retail to push quick purchases. Buyers enter their name, address and card details at checkout and pay, but the trolley or bag never ships, or something cheap and unrelated arrives instead. The victim loses the purchase price, and the card and personal details entered at checkout can be reused for further fraud.
Evidence
urlscan.io rates the site malicious and specifically identified it as a fake shop, which is the strongest independent signal here. On VirusTotal, 4 of 92 engines flag it (Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue). That is a low count, typical of new storefront scams that host no malware, so a clean result from most scanners should not be read as a sign of legitimacy. The domain appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-23, nearly five months before PhishDestroy flagged it. A domain that sits for months before it is detected is consistent with a shop that has been quietly collecting orders. The server runs on the Malakmadze Web LLC network, registered in Georgia, while the IP itself geolocates to the United States. Neither location has any connection to the BIG MAX brand.
What to do
If you paid on this site, contact your bank or card issuer right away to dispute the charge and ask for the card to be cancelled and reissued. Use the card's chargeback process rather than waiting for a refund from the shop. Keep your order confirmation and any emails as evidence, and watch your statements for unfamiliar charges. Be wary of follow-up messages about "delivery problems" that ask for more payment. Security teams and payment providers should block the domain and report it to the registrar and hosting network.

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.
