网络安全情报 Registrar context
Registrar contextTrustname
Stored registration data identifies Trustname / Fewmoretaps OÜ (IANA 4318) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains a separate registrar investigation; that material is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
buffallowilddswings.com is an impersonation phishing page posing as Buffalo Wild Wings, the US sports-bar chain. Its address doubles letters in the real brand name, so a quick glance at a link reads as the restaurant's own site. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-09-05. The site has been offline since 2026-09-27, and when we last checked it on 2026-10-19 it served no threatening content.
How the scam works
The page carried the chain's real tagline as its title, "Buffalo Wild Wings | Wings. Beer. Sports", so a browser tab or search snippet looks authentic. Brand-impersonation pages like this usually arrive through ads, texts or social posts that promise free wings, loyalty points or discounted gift cards. They then route visitors to a form asking for account logins, contact details or payment card numbers. Victims lose the credentials or card data they type in, and these are later used for fraud or resold.
Evidence
On 2026-09-18, VirusTotal showed 4 of 89 engines flagging the domain: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a low count, typical for a fresh lookalike domain that most engines have not yet indexed. The four vendors that did flag it are independent of us, and four AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference the domain. PhishDestroy is the only blocklist in our tracking that lists it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-05-17 through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, about 111 days before we detected it. That gap suggests the name was registered early and kept in reserve before the campaign went live. Traffic ran through Cloudflare, Inc. with a Canadian IP, which hides the server behind the scam. The free, automatically issued Let's Encrypt certificate gave the site a browser padlock, so the padlock alone said nothing about whether the site was legitimate.
What to do
If you entered a password on this site, change it on your Buffalo Wild Wings account and anywhere else you reuse it, and turn on two-factor authentication where it is offered. If you entered card details, call your bank to cancel the card and dispute any unfamiliar charges. Then watch for follow-up texts or emails that mention your order or rewards, because these can lead to a second scam. Defenders should block the domain, watch for other misspellings of the brand in mail and DNS logs, and report new copies to the brand and to hosting abuse channels.

After a phishing incident
针对受害者的建议与指导
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
我应该立即采取什么措施？
紧急
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

冻结卡片 如果您在钓鱼网站上输入了银行信息
我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
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
