Is arc-subscription.pages.dev legit or a scam?
Brand-new phishing clone impersonating Arc Network's USDC blockchain, designed to harvest wallet credentials through fake subscription prompts.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The domain arc-subscription.pages.dev was registered today on Cloudflare Pages, a free hosting platform heavily exploited for phishing attacks. Our network fingerprint confirms it clones arc.io, Circle's legitimate stablecoin blockchain. The page title and description closely match Arc Network's branding, but the subdomain structure and free-tier hosting are atypical for an official enterprise project. Arc Network's real site (arc.io) makes no mention of subscription plans; this fake version uses 'Connect Wallet', 'Browse Plans', and 'Create Plan' buttons — classic wallet-draining tactics. The domain carries zero business registration, no contact information, and no legitimate operational footprint. Security researchers have documented that pages.dev subdomains are frequently weaponised for crypto phishing and fake airdrops because they are difficult to take down. The site is already flagged in automated threat reports.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for arc-subscription.pages.dev, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain registered 0 days ago on Cloudflare Pages (pages.dev), a platform heavily abused for phishing and scams according to multiple security reports
- Page promotes "Arc Subscription" for recurring USDC payments on "Arc Network" with "Connect Wallet", "Browse Plans", and "Create Plan" buttons
- Arc Network is Circle's legitimate stablecoin-focused L1 blockchain (arc.io) that uses USDC as native gas with predictable fees; no official subscription plans mentioned on arc.io
- No business registration, company info, or verifiable entity tied to the domain
- pages.dev domains frequently used in crypto phishing, fake airdrops, and wallet-draining scams; security firms note they are hard to takedown and often mimic finance sites

- No independent reviews, complaints, or mentions of this exact domain outside threat intelligence aggregators
Page title and description closely match Arc Network (Circle's stablecoin L1 blockchain using USDC); subdomain on free Cloudflare Pages is atypical for official enterprise project
Our research identified two key findings:
- Threat Report Listing: The domain is flagged in automated threat-intelligence databases (urlquery.net) as part of a cluster of suspicious domains.
- Platform Abuse Pattern: Security researchers at Malwarebytes report that phishing groups increasingly abuse Cloudflare Pages (*.pages.dev) to host fake financial and crypto portals because the platform is difficult to take down and provides free SSL and infrastructure.
No scam complaints, consumer reviews, or positive mentions were found for this domain. For a 0-day phishing site, absence of public complaints is expected — the scam is still in its initial deployment phase.
