imperialclima.com.br presents itself as ImperialClima, a company in Fortaleza that rents evaporative air coolers for events, churches and corporate clients. PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page aimed at Brazilian customers who want to book cooling equipment. We first flagged it on 2026-09-23. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its content. The page title describes an ordinary local rental service, while our classification marks the site as impersonation.
How the scam works
Impersonation sites like this one copy the identity of a real or plausible local business so that visitors will trust them with bookings and payments. A customer planning an event or a church service asks for a quote and is pressed to pay a deposit or the full rental upfront, often by instant transfer. After the payment, no equipment arrives and the contact stops responding. Along the way the victim usually hands over a name, phone number, address and document details that can be reused in later fraud. The victim loses the money sent and control over that personal information.
Evidence
VirusTotal flags the domain on 9 of 92 engines, including BitDefender, G-Data, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Lionic, Gridinsoft, alphaMountain.ai, MalwareURL and SOCRadar. That is a minority of engines, but these vendors use different detection methods and still reached the same verdict. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers have tracked it on their own. Among the blocklists we monitor, PhishDestroy currently lists it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2025-08-14, more than a year before we detected it. A gap that long lets a site look established and build search visibility before it is used against customers. The domain resolves to 23.94.19.230 on the ColoCrossing network (HostPapa) in the United States. That is an unusual location for a small business that serves only Fortaleza.
What to do
If you paid ImperialClima through this site, contact your bank right away. If you paid by Pix, request a refund through the MED return mechanism and file a police report. Do not pay any further "confirmation" or "delivery" fees. If you shared CPF or ID details, watch for credit applications in your name and be wary of follow-up calls or messages claiming to come from the company. Before renting equipment, check a supplier through independent reviews, a verifiable physical address and its CNPJ. Defenders should block the domain and its IP and report it to the .br registry and the hosting provider.

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.
