metalxjp.top is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as Metal X, a crypto trading platform. The page carries the title "Metal X," and the domain adds "jp" to the brand name to look like a regional version of the exchange. It targets crypto traders and people looking for investment returns. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-09. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still registered, but its DNS no longer pointed to any content.
How the scam works
Sites like this copy the look of a real exchange so visitors believe they are trading on Metal X. urlscan.io tagged the page as both an investment scam and a crypto scam. That fits the usual pattern: the victim is pushed to deposit crypto into a fake account, the dashboard shows invented profits, and withdrawals are blocked behind extra "fees" or "verification" payments. Some versions also ask the user to log in or connect a wallet, which hands credentials or signing access to the operators. Money sent to these platforms goes straight to the scammers and is almost never recovered.
Evidence
Eleven of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain when it was checked on 2026-10-13. The flagging vendors include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue. That is a moderate count, but these are established vendors that reached the same verdict independently. urlscan.io rated the page malicious. Besides PhishDestroy, the domain appears on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists, which matters because MetaMask can warn wallet users before they interact with it. Four AlienVault OTX pulses also reference the domain.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-06-30 through GLOBAL ASSET DOMAINS INC., more than three months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests it was either prepared in advance or active for a while before anyone reported it. The site sits behind Cloudflare's network (shown with a Canada location), which masks the real origin server. Its certificate from Google Trust Services is standard for Cloudflare-fronted sites and says nothing about legitimacy.
What to do
If you deposited funds here, stop now and do not pay any "withdrawal fee" or "tax" the site demands, because those payments are part of the scam. Report the transaction hashes to the exchange or wallet provider you sent from and to local law enforcement. If you entered a password, change it everywhere you reused it and turn on app-based 2FA. If you connected a wallet, revoke any token approvals granted during that session and move your assets to a fresh wallet if you signed anything you did not understand. Security teams should block metalxjp.top and watch for similar Metal X lookalike domains.

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.

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
