The domain blackstarampstore.shop hosts a counterfeit online store that mimics an official Blackstar amplifier shop. It targets musicians and equipment buyers looking for new amps. PhishDestroy first recorded the site on 2026-10-17. The site is still live as of the last check on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title "Blackstar Amp Shop | Blackstar Amp Shop" is used to give the impression of a legitimate retailer. Visitors are prompted to place orders and provide payment details, but the site never ships any gear. Victims lose the money they pay for the promised amplifiers, and any personal data entered may be harvested for further fraud.
Evidence
VirusTotal flagged the domain with 2 detections out of 92 engines, specifically Gridinsoft and LevelBlue, indicating malicious activity. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and marked the site as a fake shop. PhishDestroy has added the domain to its blocklist, and OTX reports four related pulses. These independent signals corroborate the classification as an e‑commerce scam.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-03-26 through Spaceship, Inc., roughly seven months before PhishDestroy first saw it. It is hosted on IP 37.72.142.130, belonging to Malakmadze Web LLC in the United States. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt / YE2 TLS certificate, which is common for many legitimate sites and does not imply abuse, but confirms the site is actively serving HTTPS traffic.
What to do
Anyone who has entered payment information on blackstarampstore.shop should contact their bank or payment provider to dispute the charge and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Change any passwords used on the site and enable two‑factor authentication where possible. Security teams should block the domain at the network perimeter, add it to internal blocklists, and watch for similar Blackstar‑related shop impersonations.
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.
