quizearny.shop is an impersonation phishing page that uses Apple's name to promise visitors a $1000 gift card. It targets ordinary consumers who reach it through ads, pop-ups or messages offering a quick reward. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-07, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its lure.
How the scam works
The page is titled "Apple Gift Card - Get Your $1000 Reward", and the domain name itself hints at a quiz-for-prizes format. Schemes like this usually ask a few easy questions, declare the visitor a winner, and then require a name, email, phone number, address or payment card to "claim" the prize, often framed as a small shipping or verification fee. No gift card ever arrives. Victims lose personal data that gets resold or reused for further scams, and anyone who pays may find their card enrolled in recurring charges.
Evidence
Independent detection is still thin. Five of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-10-18: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue and SOCRadar. It appears in three AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers are tracking it. Among blocklists it is currently listed by PhishDestroy only, so most browsers and filters are unlikely to warn visitors yet.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Namecheap, Inc. on 2025-10-26, almost a year before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests the name was either held in reserve or used quietly before this campaign surfaced. The site is served from 185.199.110.153 on Fastly's network in the United States, behind a free Let's Encrypt certificate. The padlock in the address bar therefore says nothing about whether the page is legitimate.
What to do
Apple does not hand out $1000 gift cards through quizzes, so close the page without entering anything. If you typed in card details, contact your bank to block the card, dispute any charges and watch for small recurring payments. If you gave your email or phone number, expect follow-up scam messages and do not trust anything that references this "reward". Security teams should block quizearny.shop at DNS and proxy level and report it to Apple and to the registrar.

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.
