metfexgroup.com is an impersonation phishing site that borrows the identity of a legitimate business to win the trust of crypto users. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-07. When last checked on 2026-10-19 the domain was still online and serving live content, so it remains a current threat.
How the scam works
Impersonation sites present a credible corporate front so that visitors believe they are dealing with an established firm. Victims are then pushed to register, submit personal or login details, deposit funds, or connect a wallet. Anything entered or sent goes straight to the operators, and money transferred to them is rarely recoverable. The page title shows nothing but the bare domain name and names no company or product, so it tells visitors nothing about who actually runs the site.
Evidence
On 2026-10-11, 7 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, VIPRE and desenmascara.me. That count is modest, but the vendors are independent of each other and several specialize in spotting newly launched fraud, which supports our classification. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers are tracking it as well. Among blocklists, it is currently carried by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on 2026-09-02, only 35 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That short gap is typical of throwaway domains set up for a single campaign. The site is hosted in the United States on the PONYNET network run by FranTech Solutions. Its free Let's Encrypt certificate gives it the browser padlock, but the padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
Do not register, log in, or send funds through metfexgroup.com. If you entered a password there, change it on every service where you use it and turn on two-factor authentication. If you sent money, stop all further payments, including any "fees" requested to release a balance, and report the transfer to your bank or exchange right away. If you connected a wallet, review and revoke its token approvals and move remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP at the DNS and proxy level and check their logs for earlier visits.

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.
