bethennyofficial.shop poses as Bethenny Frankel's official website. Its page title reads "The List by Bethenny | Bethenny Frankel's Official Site | Bethenny", borrowing the name of her curated shopping brand to look authentic to fans and bargain hunters. PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page and first saw it on 2026-10-13. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its storefront.
How the scam works
The site copies the look and branding of a celebrity's official shop so visitors trust it enough to order. Shoppers browse products, enter their name, address and payment card details at checkout, and pay for goods that either never arrive or bear no resemblance to what was advertised. The real damage often extends beyond the lost order, because card data and personal details typed into a fraudulent checkout can be reused for further charges or resold. The ".shop" ending and the word "official" in the domain help it look legitimate, but it has no connection to Bethenny Frankel.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the page malicious and specifically flagged it as a fake shop, which matches the pattern described above. On VirusTotal, 7 of 92 engines flagged the domain as of 2026-10-17: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Netcraft and SOCRadar. That is a modest count, so many browsers and security tools will not yet warn visitors. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers are tracking it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-26, about 140 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That long gap suggests the domain was registered well in advance and left inactive before the store went live. It is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network, registered in Georgia, while the server's IP address geolocates to the United States. Its certificate is a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the browser padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the shop is genuine.
What to do
If you ordered from this site, contact your bank or card issuer immediately, report the transaction as fraud, request a chargeback and ask for a replacement card. Watch your statements for small test charges, and treat any follow-up emails or texts about your "order" as further phishing attempts. If you created an account, change that password everywhere you have reused it. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level, and brand-protection teams for Bethenny Frankel should report it to the registrar and hosting provider for takedown.

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.
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.
Casino / Gambling License Verification
Unverified gambling license
This domain markets casino/gambling services. Scam casinos routinely display fake Curaçao, MGA, or Kahnawake license badges that don’t exist in the real registries. Always verify the license number against the official regulator database before depositing. If the site shows a seal but no clickable registry link — or the linked registry page doesn’t exist — treat it as fraudulent.
