Intelligence
The page presents itself as a functional developer tool for AI-assisted code generation using Circle and Anthropic APIs. Our antivirus network and sandbox returned clean results with no malware or phishing detections. The domain itself is only hours old and hosted on Vercel, which is typical for development previews rather than production services. Web research found the Arc Forge name used by two unrelated legitimate projects, but also uncovered one Reddit report of item-trading fraud in the ARC Raiders game community. No contact details, business registration, or established web presence exist for this specific deployment. The combination of brand-new domain age, missing business footprint, and name overlap with a reported scam creates moderate risk despite the clean technical scan.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for arc-forge-ten.vercel.app, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- The domain is a subdomain of vercel.app, commonly used for hosting web applications and development previews.
- Arc Forge is a legitimate name for two distinct projects: a gaming companion app for 'ARC Raiders' and a crypto launchpad for the 'AI Rig Complex' (ARC) ecosystem.
- Search results indicate the 'Arc Forge' crypto launchpad is integrated with Circle's SDK and uses USDC for transactions.
- Reports of scams associated with the name 'Arc Forge' primarily refer to peer-to-peer item trading fraud within the ARC Raiders gaming community, not necessarily the website itself.
- The specific URL arc-forge-ten.vercel.app is linked in developer showcases as a live demo for AI code generation and blockchain integration tools.
- Redditopen
"This cockroach of a man, is a scammer.. Agreed to trade his vita shot BP for my two bobcat BP, he took mine and just dropped a silencer 2 BP. He scammed at least 4 other people on metaforge."
- Overwolfopen
"ARC Forge is the definitive companion application for ARC Raiders, designed to elevate your gameplay through comprehensive quest tracking, resource management, and strategic planning."
- CoinGeckoopen
"Arc Forge: This specialized launchpad utilizes dynamic liquidity market makers (DLMM) to help new AI projects issue tokens with deeper liquidity."
Our research found one scam mention on Reddit describing item-trading fraud using the Arc Forge name in the ARC Raiders community. Two positive references appear for separate projects: an Overwolf companion app for ARC Raiders and a CoinGecko listing for an AI Rig Complex crypto launchpad. Five complaints were recorded but none directly reference this Vercel deployment. The domain is a development preview rather than a registered business entity.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- arc-forge-ten.vercel.app shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. The domain is only 0 days old — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. 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.
- Proceed with caution — arc-forge-ten.vercel.app scores 48/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on arc-forge-ten.vercel.app, 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 arc-forge-ten.vercel.app 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- You can report arc-forge-ten.vercel.app 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.
- 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.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report arc-forge-ten.vercel.app 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.
- No — arc-forge-ten.vercel.app 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.
- arc-forge-ten.vercel.app is 0 days old. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- Yes — arc-forge-ten.vercel.app presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR1, valid for another 74 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".
- arc-forge-ten.vercel.app resolves to an IP operated by Vercel, Inc 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.
