Is receita.vip legit or a scam?
A brand-new phishing site impersonating the Brazilian tax authority (Receita Federal) using a deceptive .vip domain and a suspicious tracking link.
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 was registered less than 24 hours ago and immediately began hosting a page that clones the identity of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service. The use of a .vip extension is a common tactic for short-lived scam sites, as it is rarely used by official government entities. Our analysis identified a single 'Click here to enter' link containing a tracking UUID, which is a classic fingerprint for phishing redirects or data harvesting. There is no actual content, recipe information, or contact data on the page. The combination of government impersonation and zero-day registration indicates a high risk of fraud.

- Do not interact with receita.vip
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
