Visual Screenshot Analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The page presents itself as a free PC game download platform but exhibits several risk indicators: garbled UI text in its own promotional imagery, a thin redirect-style layout, and a core offering (free pre-installed games) strongly associated with piracy or malware distribution sites.
What our vision model saw
6 signalsSite promotes downloading 'free pre-installed PC games', a common vector for bundled malware or pirated software distribution
Embedded screenshot of the site's own interface contains illegible/garbled navigation text (e.g. 'Cottom', 'Matooler', 'Pultiplayer') suggesting AI-generated or low-quality mock-up imagery rather than
The inner screenshot shows a 'DOWNLOAD' button alongside a suspicious numeric counter (50368) with no clear context, resembling fake download-count social proof
No visible trust indicators, privacy policy links, legal disclaimers, or contact information in the visible portion of the page
Overall page layout is a thin landing/redirect page with a single 'Go to homepage' CTA button, consistent with a doorway or affiliate redirect page

MT Intelligence
This domain is an exact clone of ankergames.net, a piracy platform that distributes cracked games. The evidence package contains four confirmed user reports linking downloads from AnkerGames to trojan infections, compromised social-media accounts, and non-working software. One user reported their Instagram and Facebook accounts hacked after downloading Far Cry 3; another found a trojan when downloading from the site; a third had their Discord account compromised. The site lacks any business registration, contact information, or legal disclaimers — hallmarks of a throwaway malware distribution operation. While some Reddit users in piracy communities claim the original ankergames.net is "safe," this contradicts direct user reports of malware and account theft, and the piracy ecosystem itself is inherently high-risk for bundled or modified executables. The visual analysis confirms garbled UI text in promotional imagery and a thin redirect-style layout typical of malware doorway pages.

ankergames.my has identical page title, description, and content about offering free pre-installed PC games; appears to be a mirror or clone of the more established ankergames.net which is discussed in piracy communities.
Our research found four confirmed user complaints linking AnkerGames downloads to malware and account theft. A an independent review aggregator review on ankergames.net reports Instagram and Facebook account hacking after downloading Far Cry 3. Reddit users in r/CrackSupport report finding trojans when downloading from the site. Another user reported Discord account compromise after using AnkerGames. A Facebook comment in Hindi states the site is fake and games don't work after download. Conversely, some Reddit users in piracy communities claim ankergames.net is listed on trusted megathreads and is run by a forum member sourcing from trusted releases; however, these claims directly contradict the malware reports and appear to reflect survivorship bias. Scamadviser rates ankergames.net as "probably not a scam but legit" while acknowledging it distributes unlawful content and advising caution. The weight of evidence points to active malware distribution despite some positive claims in piracy forums.
