premio-instagram.com is a phishing domain that impersonates Instagram. Its name pairs the brand with "premio" ("prize" in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese), which points to a giveaway or reward lure aimed at Instagram users. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-06. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still online and redirecting visitors elsewhere.
How the scam works
Prize-themed Instagram phishing usually starts with a message or post saying the victim has won something or qualified for a reward. To claim it, the victim is asked to log in or verify the account on a page dressed up as Instagram. Whatever is typed there, including the password and sometimes a one-time code, goes straight to the operators, who can then take over the account and use it to scam the victim's followers. The page's current title, "Website Takedown Notice - Lovable Trust", does not mention Instagram, while our classification is based on Instagram impersonation.
Evidence
On 2026-10-07, 17 of 92 VirusTotal engines rated the domain malicious, which is a strong result for a site this new. The vendors flagging it include Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, AlphaSOC, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker. Phishunt lists it independently alongside PhishDestroy. It also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it too.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-07-18 through Name.com, Inc., about 80 days before PhishDestroy detected it. Phishing domains are often registered well before a campaign starts. Traffic passes through Cloudflare's network in the US, which hides the server that actually hosts the content. Its TLS certificate from Google Trust Services means the browser shows a padlock, but that padlock says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you entered your Instagram login on this site, change the password right away from the official app and turn on two-factor authentication, ideally with an authenticator app. Then check your active sessions and linked email and phone, and remove anything you don't recognize. If you reused that password anywhere else, change it on those accounts too. Warn your followers, since hijacked accounts are often used to spread the same prize lure. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level, report it to Instagram and Cloudflare, and search mail and chat logs for links to it.

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
