Is apexlendinggroup.us a scam or a legit website?

apexlendinggroup.us shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.

Is apexlendinggroup.us safe to use?

Proceed with caution — apexlendinggroup.us scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

What should I do if I already gave my details to apexlendinggroup.us?

If you've already paid or handed over details on apexlendinggroup.us, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on apexlendinggroup.us and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.

Can I get my money back from apexlendinggroup.us?

Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.

Is my device at risk after visiting apexlendinggroup.us?

Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.

How do I report apexlendinggroup.us?

You can report apexlendinggroup.us through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.

Why does apexlendinggroup.us look legitimate if it's a scam?

Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.

Is apexlendinggroup.us on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — apexlendinggroup.us is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.

Does apexlendinggroup.us have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — apexlendinggroup.us presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, valid for another 60 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".

Where is apexlendinggroup.us hosted?

apexlendinggroup.us resolves to an IP operated by OVH US LLC in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the apexlendinggroup.us report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on July 15, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about apexlendinggroup.us has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Confidence

The domain hosts a mortgage services page for Apex Lending Group PLLC, an active Texas LLC formed in July 2023 with NMLS ID 2527955. Our research found two scam mentions: a Washington State DFI alert about a different entity called Apex Lending Services and a an independent review aggregator flag on this exact domain. Positive signals include Zillow reviews for owner Manrique Yaquian and an active Facebook page matching the listed phone. The site lacks a visible postal address on the page despite listing a San Antonio street in the body text. No antivirus detections or browser blocklist hits were recorded, yet the combination of a young business, name overlap with a prior scam alert, and aggregator warning keeps the risk moderate.

The full analysis

Page Content

Domain History

Business registration shows Apex Lending Group, PLLC formed July 2023 in Texas with owner Manrique Yaquian. The domain itself has no WHOIS age available in this scan. BBB file opened February 2024 with an A+ rating but no accreditation.

Web Reputation

Two Zillow reviews praise the loan officer's service. Facebook page shows 195 likes with no reviews. No consumer complaints were recorded.

What this means for you

The company appears to be a real, recently formed mortgage broker with verifiable NMLS licensing. However, the name similarity to a prior advance-fee scam and the aggregator warning warrant extra caution. Confirm the NMLS number directly on the official registry before providing personal or financial information.

Verify the NMLS ID 2527955 directly on the official NMLS registry and confirm the physical address before sharing any financial or personal information.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
