Investigation Brief

Applist.in is a 21-day-old Blogger-hosted site that posts app reviews and marketing tips. The only notable element is a QR code asking for “Support For Education Fees Money,” which lacks any stated beneficiary or charity registration.

What the site actually contains

The homepage is titled “AppList” and is authored by Dharmendra Verma, dated August 07, 2026.

It links to the free theme provider Templateify and to a SEBI-related page.

Technical profile

The site runs on Google’s Blogger infrastructure; the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports.

Operator and donation risk

Why the score is 72

Unexplained QR code asking for education-fee donations. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

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.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is applist.in a scam or is it safe?
applist.in has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is applist.in safe to use?
applist.in has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has applist.in been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 63 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report applist.in as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is applist.in on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — applist.in 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.
How old is the applist.in domain?
applist.in is 21 days old, registered on July 17, 2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Does applist.in have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — applist.in presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR3, valid for another 68 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 applist.in hosted?
applist.in resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (Content Delivery Network). 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 applist.in report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 7, 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 applist.in has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
