Brand impersonation — not the real site
Typosquat clone of ComicK manga platform with Reddit warnings and low trust scores from independent detectors. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is comickz.co.uk legit or a scam?
Yes — this is almost certainly a scam.
Typosquat clone of ComicK manga platform with Reddit warnings and low trust scores from independent detectors.
Score breakdown
See the live page ↓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.
What this means for you
You were probably about to log in or pay, thinking this was the real company.
It's a look-alike copy, not the genuine site. Your login or payment goes to scammers — the real company never sees it.
How this scam works
The trap, step by step
They register a look-alike domain and copy a trusted brand's website.
You arrive via a link or ad, believing it's the genuine company.
You log in or pay — to the impostor, not the brand.
Your credentials or money go to the scammers; the real company never sees it.
Recognising the pattern is the best defence — if a site follows these steps, close it and don't enter anything.

What our vision model saw
5 signalsNotice banner warns that the site might not appear in Google search results
Instructional text encourages users to bookmark the page to ensure future access

No immediate signs of phishing forms or fake trust badges are visible
Intelligence
The domain comickz.co.uk was registered only 201 days ago and uses a .co.uk extension to mimic the ComicK brand. Our fingerprinting directly matches it as a clone and typosquat of the legitimate comick.io. Reddit users and official ComicK moderators explicitly label this domain as fake and warn that login attempts may lead to credential theft. Independent scam detectors assign it a trust score of 18.6/100 citing phishing and malware risks. The page shows no business registration in UK Companies House and lacks any verifiable contact details. These combined signals outweigh the clean antivirus scan and point to a credential-harvesting operation.

What to do
Brand impersonation detected
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Do not interact with comickz.co.uk
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- comickz.co.uk is a dangerous brand impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for clone site. The domain is 6 months old through Namecheap, Inc.. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — comickz.co.uk scored just 20/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on comickz.co.uk, 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 comickz.co.uk 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.
- If you entered anything on comickz.co.uk, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
- You can report comickz.co.uk 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 comickz.co.uk 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 — comickz.co.uk 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.
- comickz.co.uk is 6 months old, registered on December 24, 2025 through Namecheap, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- comickz.co.uk resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, 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.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 13, 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 comickz.co.uk has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
