Brand impersonation — not the real site
3 of 92 antivirus engines flag this page as malicious. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is receita.govpagamentos.com legit or a scam?
Brand-new phishing clone impersonating Brazil's Receita Federal tax authority to harvest credentials and payment details.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The domain receita.govpagamentos.com was registered 0 days ago and is a direct clone of www.gov.br/receitafederal, the official Brazilian Federal Revenue Service. Three antivirus engines (Emsisoft, Fortinet, and Netcraft) flag it as phishing. The domain name deliberately mimics official Receita Federal branding while using a non-.gov.br suffix — a known impersonation tactic. Brazilian government agencies and fact-checking outlets have issued repeated warnings about scammers using fake Receita Federal domains to solicit payments via Pix and steal CPF/CNPJ data. The official Receita Federal explicitly states it never sends payment links via email, SMS, or WhatsApp, and all legitimate services use only .gov.br subdomains. The site's instant flagging by multiple security engines, combined with zero legitimate web presence and confirmed clone-of-official-site fingerprinting, confirms this is an active phishing operation.
