Registrar contextNiceNIC
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
otc-votes.xyz is an impersonation phishing page. Its name pairs "OTC" with "votes", the language of over-the-counter trading and token governance. Its listing on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists places it among threats aimed at crypto wallet users. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-10-07. As of 2026-10-19 the site is still alive, and its content sits behind a protection layer.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages copy the look and wording of a legitimate project so visitors trust them enough to act. A voting-themed lure typically urges users to "cast a vote" or claim a reward, which leads to connecting a wallet, signing a message or approving a transaction. Whatever the victim signs or enters can hand control of their funds or accounts to the operator. The page title currently reads "Just a moment...", the text of a browser-check screen, while we classify the site as impersonation phishing.
Evidence
On 2026-10-11, 6 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That count is modest, but the independent listings carry weight. MetaMask and SEAL, both focused on crypto threats, block it alongside PhishDestroy. Spamhaus lists it in its DBL under the phishing category, and three AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-30 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was caught just seven days later. That short gap fits a site built for a quick, short-lived campaign. It resolves to Cloudflare, Inc. infrastructure geolocated in Canada, which hides the origin server. The Let's Encrypt certificate means the browser padlock says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
Do not connect a wallet or sign anything on otc-votes.xyz. If you already connected, review your token approvals with a revocation tool and cancel any you do not recognize. If you signed transactions or messages there, move remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Never enter a seed phrase on any voting page, and if you typed one here, treat that wallet as compromised. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and report it to Cloudflare and the registrar.

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.

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
