Below are some recent examples of domains involved in this type of scam:

• Imageconvertors[.]com – Phishing
• convertitoremp3[.]it – Riskware
• convertisseurs-pdf[.]com – Riskware
• convertscloud[.]com – Phishing
• convertix-api[.]xyz – Trojan
• convertallfiles[.]com – Adware
• freejpgtopdfconverter[.]com – Riskware
• primeconvertapp[.]com – Riskware
• 9convert[.]com – Riskware
• Convertpro[.]org – Riskware

Since hackers have a large number of domains at their disposal, the sites listed above will likely be moved to a new domain soon.
Still, it’s worth looking out for these ones in particular as they have previously been used in attacks.
