metamasksdocslinks.live is a phishing page that impersonated MetaMask. Its name suggests an official hub for MetaMask documentation and help links, a lure aimed at wallet users looking for setup or troubleshooting guidance. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-09-14. The site has been offline since 2026-09-24, and when last checked on 2026-10-19 its DNS was inactive.
How the scam works
Fake MetaMask "docs" and "support links" pages exploit users who search for help or follow a link shared in chat, comments or support channels. Pages like this typically walk the visitor toward a fake fix, sync or verification step that asks for the Secret Recovery Phrase, or toward connecting the wallet and approving a transaction. Anyone who hands over the phrase gives the attacker full control of every account in that wallet, and the funds can be emptied immediately. The page title showed only the bare domain name, so it gave no visible branding. Our classification as MetaMask impersonation rests on the domain name and the detections below.
Evidence
On 2026-09-23, 13 of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. The flagging vendors included ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and G-Data. That is a modest share of engines, but several of them specialise in crypto and phishing threats. MetaMask's own blocklist and SEAL both list the domain alongside PhishDestroy, which means the impersonated brand itself treats it as hostile. Three AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on 2026-09-12, just two days before PhishDestroy detected it. That short gap fits a throwaway domain built for a quick campaign. It was hosted on an OVH SAS server in Canada. The page used a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the browser padlock only meant the connection was encrypted and said nothing about whether the site was genuine. The site went dark roughly ten days after first detection.
What to do
If you entered your Secret Recovery Phrase on this site, treat that wallet as compromised. Create a new wallet with a fresh phrase on a trusted device and move any remaining funds to it right away. If you only connected your wallet or signed something, review and revoke token approvals with a reputable approval checker, and watch your accounts for unexpected transfers. MetaMask documentation and support never ask for your recovery phrase. Defenders should block the domain, add it to wallet and mail filters, and hunt for lookalike names that combine MetaMask with words like docs, links or support.

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.
