marketingfx.live is an impersonation phishing page that greets visitors with a screen titled "Bot Verification" rather than any recognisable brand. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-01, one week after the domain was registered. As of 2026-10-19 the site still responds, but the DNS behind its content is inactive, so the page may not load even though the domain has not been taken offline.
How the scam works
The "Bot Verification" title points to a fake human check, a common gatekeeper on phishing sites. The visitor is made to click through what looks like a routine security step, then lands on the impersonation page, which copies a legitimate service so they trust it with logins, wallet details or a recovery phrase. Some fake verification screens instead tell the visitor to copy and run a command on their own computer, which installs malware. The page title shows a generic bot check, while PhishDestroy classifies the site as impersonation based on what sits behind that screen.
Evidence
On 2026-10-03, seven of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, SOCRadar and URLQuery. That is a modest count, but these are seven separate vendors reaching the same verdict within days of PhishDestroy's own detection. The domain also appears in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which means other researchers have tracked it too. Among blocklists, only PhishDestroy lists it so far.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on 2026-09-24 and was already serving phishing content by 2026-10-01. A short gap like that is typical of throwaway domains bought for a single campaign. The site is hosted at 198.251.84.200 on the PONYNET network run by FranTech Solutions in the United States. Its free Let's Encrypt certificate shows a padlock in the browser, which proves nothing about whether the site is honest.
What to do
If you passed the "Bot Verification" screen and typed a password, change it immediately on the real service and on any account that uses the same password, then turn on app-based two-factor authentication. If the page asked you to paste or run a command on your computer, disconnect from the internet, scan the machine and change passwords from a different, clean device. If you entered a seed phrase or private key, treat that wallet as compromised and move your funds to a new wallet right away. Defenders should block marketingfx.live and 198.251.84.200 at DNS and proxy level, and search logs for any visits from 2026-09-24 onward.

認定と RAA の背景
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
地元の警察 — たとえ直ちに行動を起こせなくても、公式な記録が残される
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections
This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
