blackbananasshop.shop is a fake online shop that presents itself as the "Official Online Store | Black Bananas." It targets fans of the Black Bananas brand who search for its products and land on what looks like a legitimate storefront. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-10-16. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its shop content.
How the scam works
Shops like this copy a brand's name, product photos and polished layout, then add prices and "sale" offers that undercut the real store. A shopper fills a cart, enters a delivery address and pays by card or another method at checkout. In typical cases the order never arrives, or a cheap item unrelated to the purchase is shipped so the seller can claim delivery. Victims lose the purchase amount, and the card number, name, address and phone number they typed in can be reused for further fraud.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically tagged it as a fake shop. That matches our classification of the storefront. On VirusTotal, 4 of 92 engines flagged it as of 2026-10-16: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue. That count is low, which is common for newly surfaced shop scams, so most security tools will not warn visitors yet. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-15, roughly five months before PhishDestroy detected it. The site is hosted at Malakmadze Web LLC in Georgia, with no connection to the brand it claims to represent. Its free Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a browser padlock, but that only means the connection is encrypted. It says nothing about whether the store is genuine.
What to do
If you paid on this site, contact your bank or card issuer right away, report the charge as fraud and ask for a chargeback. Cancel and replace the card if you entered its details. Expect phishing emails, texts or calls that reuse your name, address and order details, and do not answer messages about "delivery problems" or refunds that ask for more information or payment. Buy Black Bananas products only through the brand's verified channels. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and web proxies and report it to the brand owner, registrar and host so it can be taken down.
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.
Hostnames retained in the domain record or Certificate Transparency cache. A hostname alone does not establish current availability or malicious activity.

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
