apexlayer.shop is a fraudulent storefront that copies MagBak, using the brand's tagline "Maximum Functionality, Minimalist Design" as its page title. It targets shoppers looking for MagBak's magnetic phone cases and accessories at a discount. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-10-07. It was still online and serving its shop pages when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this clone a real brand's look and slogans, then advertise steep discounts through social media ads or search results. The buyer goes through a normal-looking checkout and enters card details, name, address and phone number. What follows is usually nothing at all, a cheap item unrelated to the order, or a fake tracking number that never resolves. The victim loses the purchase price, and the stolen card and personal details can be reused for further fraud.
Evidence
On 2026-10-10, seven of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue and SOCRadar. That count is modest, so many browsers and security tools will still load the site without a warning. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically tagged the page as a fake shop. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses and on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-21, about four and a half months before PhishDestroy detected it. This suggests it was set up in advance or rotated in after other storefronts were taken down. It is hosted on a network belonging to Malakmadze Web LLC, which is registered in Georgia, while the server's IP geolocates to the United States. Its free Let's Encrypt certificate gives the site a browser padlock, which proves nothing about whether the shop is legitimate.
What to do
If you ordered from apexlayer.shop, contact your card issuer or bank now. Report the charge as fraud, request a chargeback and ask for a replacement card. If you paid by PayPal, open a dispute there. Treat the email address and phone number you entered as exposed, and expect follow-up phishing about "delivery problems" or refunds. Buy MagBak products only through the brand's own store or authorised retailers. Defenders should block the domain, add it to web filters and report it to the relevant fraud-reporting services.

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.

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.

联邦调查局（FBI）指南
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.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
