vacuumadj.com is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as the product page of 株式会社タイセー (Taisei Co., Ltd.) for its Vacuum Level Adjuster (VLA), a vacuum control unit for development and evaluation work. It targets Japanese-speaking engineers, lab staff and procurement teams who might search for this kind of equipment. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-10-17. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving content.
How the scam works
The page title, written in Japanese, mirrors a genuine manufacturer's product listing, so a buyer who lands on it has little reason to doubt it. Impersonation sites of this type usually invite visitors to request a quote, place an order or submit company and contact details. Payment then goes to the operators instead of the real vendor, and no equipment is delivered. The business information collected can also be reused for follow-up fraud, such as fake invoices or targeted phishing emails sent in the brand's name.
Evidence
PhishDestroy classified the domain as impersonation and lists it on its blocklist. Independent detection is currently absent. VirusTotal returned 0 detections out of 92 engines on 2026-10-17, and no other blocklist carries the domain yet. The domain does appear in 4 AlienVault OTX pulses, which shows that other researchers are tracking it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-14 through Gransy, s.r.o., three days before PhishDestroy detected it. It resolves to 166.117.205.170 on AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.) in the United States. Its TLS certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (YE2), so the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
Do not request quotes, place orders or enter any details on vacuumadj.com. To buy Taisei equipment, contact the company only through channels you have verified independently. If you sent a payment, call your bank or card issuer right away to try to stop or reverse it. If you shared contact or company information, treat any invoices, emails or calls that cite this purchase as suspicious. If you created an account with a password you use elsewhere, change it on those other services. Security teams should block the domain at the DNS and proxy level, report it to the registrar and hosting provider, and watch for lookalike domains that copy the same product page.

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.
