Is carjudge.com legit or a scam?
Vehicle history report site with repeated complaints about hidden €24.9 monthly subscriptions after a low-cost initial purchase.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as a standard VIN check service with a clean browser blocklist record and valid SSL. However, our research found 12 complaints on signal-arnaques.com alleging that users are enrolled in recurring billing without clear consent. The French company behind the domain was dissolved earlier this year, which reduces accountability. One antivirus engine flagged the page for phishing while the hosting IP itself shows no abuse history. These billing-related signals outweigh the site's otherwise ordinary appearance and lead us to label it suspicious.

Subscription trap / negative-option billing
This page combines a "free trial" or "$1 trial" pitch with auto-renew / rebill language — a classic negative-option billing trap.
- Do not interact with carjudge.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Your card will be charged the full price after the trial
Most subscription traps bill the full amount ($49-$149) 14 days after sign-up, and every month thereafter. "Cancel anytime" often means you must call a foreign support line that's deliberately hard to reach.
- If you already signed up — call your bank today
Ask your bank to block future charges from the merchant and dispute any charges already made. Many banks will issue a new card number to prevent recurring billing. Save the confirmation email as evidence.
- OpenReport the billing scheme
Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or your national consumer-protection body — subscription traps are specifically illegal in most jurisdictions when the auto-bill terms aren't clearly disclosed.
