Is acct.caixesp-finbk.com legit or a scam?
A malicious phishing site impersonating CaixaBank through a typosquatted domain to harvest sensitive financial information.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The domain is a clear typosquat of the legitimate caixabank.com, using a confusingly similar name to trick users. Our intelligence stack identified that the site content is a direct clone of real banking assets, yet it lacks any physical address, regulatory licensing, or valid contact details. Multiple security engines, including alphaMountain.ai and Fortinet, have flagged the site for phishing. The presence of a directory index showing ZIP files and cgi-bin folders is a common sign of a poorly configured phishing kit deployment. Furthermore, the site mixes contradictory banking terms, such as referencing US-based Merrill Edge while pretending to be a European 'Caixa' entity.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for acct.caixesp-finbk.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain hosts a directory index at root (https://caixesp-finbk.com/) showing only cgi-bin/ and es/ subdirectories, served by LiteSpeed Web Server.
- The /es/ subdirectory serves pages titled "Caixa Capital Group" promoting banking products such as savings accounts with interest, current accounts with rewards, auto loans, and financial planning.
- Content includes copied or generic banking marketing text (e.g., "2% back in Rewards", "$175 when you switch", "Merrill Edge" investing) but lacks any contact details, physical address, regulatory licenses, privacy policy, or footer informa
- The domain shares IP range 185.198.58.0/23 with hundreds of other domains, many unrelated or potentially suspicious (e.g., capital-profit.net, coingate.shop, adult sites).
- No mentions of the domain or "caixesp-finbk.com" appear in scam reports, reviews, Reddit, news, or complaints across web searches.
- No official registration or licensing found for "Caixa Capital Group" as a bank; real Caixa entities (CaixaBank, CGD/Caixa Capital) use caixabank.com, cgd.pt, and similar verified domains.
- Domain age of 221 days aligns with a recently created site lacking transparency typical of legitimate financial institutions.
Domain name mimics 'Caixa' (major Spanish/Portuguese banks like CaixaBank and CGD/Caixa). Content copies generic banking product descriptions (savings accounts, current accounts, rewards, Merrill Edge references) from real banks but mixes unrelated US-style elements (Merrill Edge is Bank of America). No real contact, regulation, or legal info.
