polymarketselect.com borrows the Polymarket name to present a product called "Polymarket Select," which it sells as systematic yield from prediction markets. The page title is bilingual English and Chinese, so the lure reaches both Western Polymarket users and Chinese-speaking investors looking for "quantitative returns." Polymarket offers no such managed yield product. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-09-25, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was still online with its content live.
How the scam works
Polymarket is a betting market, not a yield fund. Promising steady, "systematic" returns on top of it is the hook. Schemes like this usually ask visitors to connect a crypto wallet or deposit funds into a supposed strategy vault. The victim then signs a transaction or approval that hands their tokens to the operator, or watches a dashboard show gains that can never be withdrawn. Either way, the money sent or approved through the site is gone, and the Polymarket branding exists only to make the offer look official.
Evidence
On 2026-10-07, 13 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. The vendors include ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data and Gridinsoft. Crypto-focused defenses agree with them: the domain is on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists as well as PhishDestroy's, so MetaMask users should see a warning before the page loads. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference it, which shows other researchers are tracking it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-07-12 through Cloudflare, about 75 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap leaves room for the site to be built and promoted before it surfaced on blocklists. The site sits behind Cloudflare's network on an edge address that geolocates to Canada, which hides where the real server is. Its certificate comes from Google Trust Services, so the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
Do not connect a wallet or deposit anything on this site. If you already connected, use a token-approval tool to revoke any allowances you granted it, and move remaining funds to a fresh wallet if you signed anything you did not understand. Never enter a seed phrase. Ignore any request for a "fee" to unlock withdrawals, because paying it only adds to the loss. Report the domain to Polymarket's support channels and keep transaction hashes for any police report. Security teams should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and watch for lookalike Polymarket domains with yield or "select" themes.

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
