paypa1-verify.xyz is a PayPal lookalike domain tied to credential-harvesting phishing
The domain swaps the letter 'l' in PayPal for the digit '1' and adds 'verify', a pattern used to fake PayPal Security emails. Threat-intelligence research tags it as a credential-harvesting, PayPal-lure domain, and three security engines mark it as suspicious. The site itself could not be loaded, so its pages were never reviewed, but the evidence about how the domain is used is enough for a Dangerous score.

What pulled the score down
- ModerateThree of 93 engines flag the URL as suspicious, with three antivirus vendors listing it.
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "The email says "PayPal Security" but the actual address is "security@paypa1-verify.xyz". Always check the full sender address, not just the name."
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: ""tags": ["credential-harvest", "paypal-lure"]"
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning, which does not offset the documented phishing use.

Lost money or shared details on paypa1-verify.xyz? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on paypa1-verify.xyz, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
The domain swaps the letter 'l' in PayPal for the digit '1' and adds 'verify', a pattern used to fake PayPal Security emails. Threat-intelligence research tags it as a credential-harvesting, PayPal-lure domain, and three security engines mark it as suspicious. The site itself could not be loaded, so its pages were never reviewed, but the evidence about how the domain is used is enough for a Dangerous score.
How the domain impersonates PayPal
A published guide to spotting phishing emails describes a message labelled 'PayPal Security' whose real sender address is security@paypa1-verify.xyz. The display name looks legitimate, but the address belongs to this lookalike domain, not to PayPal.
A threat-campaign tracker lists the domain with the tags 'credential-harvest' and 'paypal-lure', meaning it is used to trick people into handing over their PayPal login details.
Technical checks versus real risk
The multi-engine malware scan shows 0 malicious but 3 suspicious detections across 93 engines, and three antivirus results (alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and LevelBlue) mark the URL as suspicious. The browser threat feed returned no warning, which is not a clearance, especially for a domain that is unreachable or newly burned.
The page content could not be captured because the domain did not resolve, and the saved connection check did not validate TLS while the scanned address used plain HTTP. Because the pages were never read, the verdict rests on the documented phishing use of the domain, not on a look at a live login form.
