belfortsavings.com presents itself as the personal banking portal of Belfort Savings Bank LLC, with the page title "Home | Personal Banking | Belfort Savings Bank LLC". PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page aimed at people who believe they are dealing with a legitimate savings bank. We first flagged the domain on 2026-09-14, and it was still online and serving content on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake bank fronts like this copy the look and wording of a retail bank so that a sign-in or account-opening page feels routine. Visitors are prompted to enter online banking usernames, passwords and one-time codes, and often personal details such as ID numbers, addresses and card data. Some versions also invite victims to open an account and fund it, so the losses can include deposited money as well as stolen credentials and a ready-made identity theft profile.
Evidence
On 2026-09-24, 9 of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a minority of engines, but the vendors are independent of each other and span commercial and community feeds. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, and PhishDestroy lists it on its blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Namecheap on 2020-12-12, nearly six years before it reached our blocklist. An older registration lets a site look established and avoid filters that distrust newly created domains. It is hosted in the United States on the Aquiryn LLC network at 23.153.104.17.
What to do
If you signed in on this site, change your online banking password immediately from your bank's official app or a bookmarked address, reset any other account that shares it, and enable or re-enroll two-factor authentication. If you entered card numbers, ID details or sent a deposit, call your real bank's fraud line using the number on your card or statement, ask for transfers to be traced or recalled, and consider a credit freeze. Report the site to your national fraud reporting body. Security teams should block the domain and 23.153.104.17 at DNS and proxy level, and search mail and web logs for users who visited after 2026-09-14.

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
