bkvshift.shop is a fraudulent e-commerce site that presents itself as Bike Village, using the Portuguese page title "Bicicletas | Oficina | Acessórios | Bike Village" (bicycles, workshop, accessories). It is aimed at Portuguese-speaking cyclists looking for bikes, servicing or gear. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-16. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and answering visitors with a redirect.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this borrow the name and catalogue look of a known retailer, then list bicycles and accessories at prices low enough to rush a purchase. The shopper pays at checkout and either receives nothing, gets a cheap item unrelated to the order, or is strung along with fake tracking until refund windows close. Victims lose the purchase amount. They also hand over their name, delivery address, phone number and often full card details, which can be reused for further fraud.
Evidence
On 2026-10-16, 10 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, among them BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue. That is a minority of engines, but the flagging vendors are major ones that run independent analysis. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically identified the page as a fake shop, which matches our classification. The domain is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-07-26, about 82 days before we caught it. That gap is typical for throwaway shop domains that are prepared in advance and then pushed through ads or social posts. The site is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia. A Brazilian-style bike store name served from a Georgian host under a cheap .shop domain is a strong mismatch for a genuine local retailer.
What to do
If you placed an order, contact your bank or card issuer immediately, report the charge as fraud and request a chargeback. If you entered card details, ask for the card to be blocked and reissued. Watch for follow-up phishing using the name, phone number and address you gave, and do not pay any "customs" or "shipping" fees that seller contacts ask for. Defenders should block bkvshift.shop at DNS and proxy level and check logs for users who visited it. Report the site to the registrar and hosting provider so it can be taken down.
