benchmadestore.shop is a fake online shop posing as a Benchmade store under the page title "Premium Knives & Edged Tools | Benchmade". It targets knife collectors and outdoor buyers who want branded folding and fixed-blade knives at a lower price. PhishDestroy first saw the domain on 2026-10-13, and the shop was still online with its content live on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Shops like this copy a well-known brand's look and catalogue, then advertise steep discounts to pull in shoppers. The buyer pays at checkout, usually by card, and either receives nothing, gets a cheap counterfeit, or finds the store unreachable once complaints begin. The victim loses the purchase price and also hands over a name, delivery address, phone number and card details that can be reused or sold. The Benchmade name and the realistic product-line title are what make the site look like a legitimate retailer.
Evidence
On 2026-10-13, 15 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime and CyRadar. Agreement among that many established vendors makes a false positive unlikely. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically marked the page as a fake shop, which matches our classification. The domain appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-04-25, which means it existed for 171 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That kind of gap can help a scam store avoid filters that distrust newly registered domains. The site is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in the United States. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a browser padlock, but the padlock only shows that the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the seller is genuine.
What to do
If you placed an order, contact your card issuer right away, report the charge as fraud and ask for a chargeback. Do not wait for a delivery or tracking number that may never arrive. Watch your card for further charges, and expect follow-up phishing that uses the name, address and phone number you entered. To buy Benchmade products, go through the brand's own site or an authorized dealer. Security teams should block the domain and its hosting IP, and payment and fraud teams can use these indicators to flag related transactions.
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.
