Is apkfunny.com a scam?

Our automated security review flags apkfunny.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

Is apkfunny.com safe to use?

No — apkfunny.com scored 15/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.

Does apkfunny.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. apkfunny.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 66 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the apkfunny.com domain?

apkfunny.com is 1.9 years old, registered on 8/8/2024 through Name.com, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has apkfunny.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged apkfunny.com as malicious or suspicious (1 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is apkfunny.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. apkfunny.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is apkfunny.com hosted?

apkfunny.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the apkfunny.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 23, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around apkfunny.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The site operates as a hub for 'free' gaming assets, specifically targeting Roblox players with promises of free skins and currency. Our analysis identified a gaming-scam template designed to bait users into clicking deceptive advertisements. Gridinsoft has flagged the domain for phishing and financial scam activity. Multiple user reports describe a pattern of unauthorized credit card charges and deceptive redirects after interacting with the site's content. While the domain is nearly two years old, its lack of contact information and reliance on high-risk ad networks are major red flags.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents itself as a legitimate APK download service for Android apps and games. However, it heavily features 'Free Skins for Roblox' and 'Robux' bait, which are classic indicators of gaming-related fraud. There is a complete absence of a physical address, phone number, or official support email.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a common content delivery network, which hides the true origin server. While the SSL certificate is valid, the site loads a high volume of external scripts from ad-tracking and popup services, increasing the risk of drive-by downloads or browser hijacking.

Domain History

Registered 684 days ago, the domain has managed to stay active despite numerous negative reports. It is operated by a Hong Kong-based entity, but the site's identity has reportedly shifted over time to evade blacklists, previously operating under different 'Hub' variations.

Web Reputation

The site has a very poor reputation across independent security aggregators. It is frequently cited in community forums as a source of 'shitty mobile ads' and deceptive software. Security vendors specifically categorize it as a financial risk due to the predatory nature of the apps it promotes.

Risk Factors

Flagged as phishing by Gridinsoft antivirus.
Promotes 'Free Robux' and 'Free Skins' which are known gaming-scam lures.
Zero verifiable contact information or corporate transparency.
Multiple reports of unauthorized credit card charges linked to promoted apps.
Aggressive use of deceptive ad networks and popups.
Identified by community researchers as a source of malware-laden advertisements.

Positive Signals

Domain has been active for over 600 days.
Valid SSL certificate issued by a recognized authority.

AI Recommendation

Avoid downloading any files from this site or clicking on its 'Free Robux' offers. If you have entered payment information into any app promoted by this site, contact your bank immediately to dispute unauthorized charges.
