matrixpoints.com presents itself as "Matrix Points" and advertises Scene+ points at half price. PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page that trades on the Scene+ loyalty brand to reach people who collect or redeem those points. We first detected it on 2026-09-19. As of 2026-10-19 the site is still online, and visitors are now redirected when they load it.
How the scam works
Schemes like this use a deal that sounds too good to pass up, such as discounted loyalty points from an unofficial reseller, to get the buyer to pay first. Loyalty programs do not sell their points through independent "half price" storefronts. A buyer who pays typically never receives any points, and the payment can rarely be recovered. Fake loyalty sites can also ask visitors to sign in with their real Scene+ account "to receive the points." That hands the operators the login and any balance already in the account.
Evidence
On 2026-10-03, five of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and URLQuery. That is a minority of engines, but the five come from separate vendors and reached the same verdict on their own. The domain is also listed on the PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer blocklists, and it appears in three AlienVault OTX threat pulses. Together these show that other researchers have tracked it beyond our own detection.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Namecheap on 2026-09-10, nine days before we detected it. A brand-new domain that quickly starts promising cheap points fits a short-lived scam rather than an established reseller. The site runs on Render's cloud hosting in the United States at 216.24.57.1. It uses a certificate from Google Trust Services. That certificate only encrypts the connection, so the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the seller is genuine.
What to do
If you paid matrixpoints.com, contact your card issuer or payment provider right away and dispute the charge as fraud. Do not send any further "activation" or "transfer" fees. If you entered Scene+ login details, change that password immediately, plus any other account that uses the same password. Turn on any extra sign-in protection the program offers, and check your points balance and redemption history for activity you don't recognize. Report the site to Scene+ through its official support channel. Security teams should block the domain and watch for lookalike "points discount" domains registered recently through the same pattern.

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
