Is add-a-restrictions.surge.sh legit or a scam?
A brand-new phishing site hosted on Surge.sh that is currently flagged by six major security engines for credential harvesting.
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 site is hosted on a free 'surge.sh' subdomain, a common tactic for attackers to bypass domain registration costs and reputation filters. Our antivirus network shows six different engines, including Fortinet and Webroot, explicitly flagging this URL as phishing or malicious. The domain has zero history in global traffic indexes and was detected essentially at the moment of creation. The URL structure 'add-a-restrictions' suggests it may be impersonating a social media or payment platform's security alert to trick users into 'fixing' an account issue. Given the high detection rate and the use of a throwaway hosting platform, this is a high-risk site.
