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.
status-usepaid.xyz impersonates the PAID project. It presents itself as a "$PAID allocation boxes" page aimed at token holders and airdrop hunters who expect to claim a share of $PAID. PhishDestroy first saw the domain on 2026-10-07. As of 2026-10-19 its DNS no longer resolves, so the page is currently unreachable, but the same lure can return on a new domain.
How the scam works
The page title, "$PAID allocation boxes · PAID", shows the hook: a supposed token allocation waiting to be opened or claimed. Pages like this usually ask the visitor to connect a wallet and then approve a transaction or sign a message to receive the reward. That signature can grant the operator permission to move the victim's tokens or NFTs. The "status" prefix and the play on "use paid" in the domain are meant to make it look like an official project subdomain. The victim gains no allocation and can lose whatever the approved permissions cover.
Evidence
Eight of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain on 2026-10-07: alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Netcraft and Webroot. That count is moderate, but the wallet-focused blocklists carry more weight here. MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL all list it alongside PhishDestroy, so many wallet users would have seen a warning. Spamhaus DBL lists the domain specifically as phishing, and four AlienVault OTX pulses reference it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-05 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was detected just two days later. A throwaway domain spun up for a short campaign often shows that kind of tight timing. Traffic ran through Cloudflare's network in the US, which hides the real origin server behind Cloudflare's shared addresses.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to this site and signed or approved anything, use a token-approval checker to revoke any approvals you don't recognise. If assets have already moved, transfer what remains to a fresh wallet. Never type a seed phrase into an allocation or claim page, and if you did, treat that wallet as compromised and move your funds at once. Check PAID allocation news only through the project's official, verified channels. Defenders should block the domain and watch for lookalike "status" or "usepaid" domains that reuse the allocation-box lure.

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.

How do phishing scams typically work?
가짜 웹사이트 — 도메인을 약간만 변경한, 정식 사이트와 픽셀 단위로 완벽하게 일치하는 복제 사이트
pig butchering — Telegram·왓츠앱·데이트 앱을 통해 몇 주에 걸쳐 신뢰를 쌓은 뒤, 돈을 훔쳐갔다
회복 사기 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI를 이용한 사기 — 딥페이크, 자동화된 피싱, AI로 생성된 사이트 등으로 인해 사기 행각을 적발하기가 더 어려워지고 있다
