Shop shows non-delivery red flags
Domain is only 64 days old. Several red flags typical of non-delivery shops are present. Don't pay by crypto or wire, and keep the chargeback window in mind.
Is anidb.app legit or a scam?
New 64-day-old clone of anidb.net that offers free anime streaming but forces crypto-only checkout with no contact information.
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 anidb.app was registered just 64 days ago. It uses nearly identical branding and name to the legitimate anidb.net anime database that has operated since 2000. The page promotes free HD streaming with no sign-up yet triggers a crypto-only checkout pattern and lists no email, phone, or address. Our sandbox and antivirus network returned clean results, but the combination of extreme youth, deliberate name cloning, and irreversible payment method outweighs those signals. No scam reports appear in web searches, which is common for brand-new low-traffic sites.

Fake-shop warning signs
Signals common to non-delivery scam shops were detected on this site.
- Treat anidb.app as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- If you already paid by card or PayPal — start a chargeback
Contact your bank or card issuer and dispute the charge as "goods not received" or "merchant fraud." PayPal users can open a case in the Resolution Centre. Act within 120 days for card chargebacks in most jurisdictions.
- Save every piece of evidence
Screenshots of the checkout, order confirmation emails, any chat transcripts, and the product listing page. Chargeback and fraud reports go faster when you have receipts.
- OpenReport the shop
Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov), Action Fraud UK, or your local consumer-protection body. Post the URL on the MalwareTips scam forum so other buyers can find it.
