benchmarkperformance.shop poses as a sports retailer under the page title "Performance Running". It targets shoppers looking for discounted running gear. We classify it as an e-commerce scam: a fake storefront that takes payment for goods that never arrive. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-13, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its shop content.
How the scam works
Shops like this copy the look of a real sportswear store. They list running shoes and apparel at prices well below market to push quick checkouts. The buyer pays by card or another method and receives nothing, a cheap counterfeit, or tracking that leads nowhere. The checkout also collects the buyer's name, address, phone, email and payment details. That information can be reused for fraudulent charges or follow-up phishing. The "Performance Running" branding is generic enough to catch anyone searching for running deals rather than one specific brand.
Evidence
Several independent sources back the classification. On 2026-10-17, 11 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically identified the page as a fake shop. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as a spam domain, and four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-06-08, about four months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests the storefront may have been built or warmed up before it began drawing traffic. It is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia. Its HTTPS certificate comes from Let's Encrypt, so the browser padlock only means the connection is encrypted. It says nothing about whether the shop is genuine.
What to do
If you placed an order, contact your bank or card issuer now, report the charge as fraud, and request a chargeback. Cancel the card if its details were entered. Do not pay any extra "customs" or "shipping" fees the seller asks for. Expect phishing emails or calls that use your order details, and change the password anywhere you reused the one you set at this checkout. Security teams should block the domain at DNS and web proxy level, and payment providers should review any merchant accounts tied to it.
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.

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
