fourseasonbosphorus.com is an impersonation phishing page whose name copies the Four Seasons Bosphorus hotel brand, dropping one letter from the real name to catch travellers looking for the property online. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-09. When checked on 2026-10-19, the site was still online and serving live content.
How the scam works
Hotel impersonation sites target guests who search for the hotel or follow links in emails and chat messages. They usually present a booking or reservation page that collects names, contact details and card data, or they push prepayments and deposits for rooms that are never reserved. The victim loses the money paid and the personal and card details they entered, and those details can be reused for further fraud. The page title reads "Privspeed Bulletproof Plesk", which describes a hosting panel rather than a hotel, while we classified the domain as brand impersonation phishing.
Evidence
Google Safe Browsing lists the domain as SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, the category browsers use to warn about deceptive pages. On VirusTotal, 7 of 89 engines flagged it as of 2026-09-18: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Google Safe Browsing, Gridinsoft, PhishFort and SOCRadar. That count is modest, but it includes a dedicated anti-phishing vendor, PhishFort. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-04 through Cloudflare, Inc. It was detected five days later, which is typical for a site created for a short campaign. It is hosted in Russia on a network registered to Belenkii Ivan Alexandrovich. The TLS certificate is a Plesk default certificate rather than one issued for the domain, which fits the panel name in the page title and suggests the site runs on a stock hosting setup.
What to do
If you entered card details on this site, contact your bank right away to block the card and dispute any charges. Do not send further "deposits" or confirmation payments. If you have a real stay booked, confirm it only through the hotel's official contact channels. Change any password you typed into the site and watch for follow-up phishing that uses your name and travel dates. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP and report the brand abuse to the hotel group so it can pursue a takedown.

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.
