Verdict

ContactHunt shows strong signs of a subscription trap

ContactHunt advertises a 48-hour trial for €0.50 alongside a €39.90 monthly price. Multiple consumers report being enrolled in that monthly subscription without consent after paying for the low-cost search, and a consumer-protection organization lists the service as a subscription trap. These commercial risks outweigh the absence of a current browser threat warning.

Avoid starting the trial unless you fully understand and accept the €39.90 monthly subscription. If you have already used the €0.50 offer, review your account and payment statements for recurring charges.

Investigation Brief

ContactHunt advertises a 48-hour trial for €0.50 alongside a €39.90 monthly price. Multiple consumers report being enrolled in that monthly subscription without consent after paying for the low-cost search, and a consumer-protection organization lists the service as a subscription trap. These commercial risks outweigh the absence of a current browser threat warning.

The low-cost trial leads into a costly subscription

The site presents a “Start Trial” action for a 48-hour trial costing €0.50, while also displaying a recurring price of €39.90 per month.

Multiple consumers report that after paying €0.50 for a search, they were enrolled in the €39.90 monthly subscription without their consent. A consumer-protection organization separately identifies contacthunt.io as a subscription trap.

Clean connection checks do not resolve the billing risk

The site had a valid encrypted connection and no current browser threat warning. Those checks concern connection and technical-threat status, not whether the subscription terms and enrollment are fair or expected.

One saved antivirus result marked the URL suspicious, although that observation is stale and should be treated only as supporting context. The stronger concern is the directly observed trial-to-monthly pricing combined with consumer reports of enrollment without consent.

Why the score is 28

The advertised €0.50, 48-hour trial is paired with a €39.90 monthly price. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Avoid starting the trial unless you fully understand and accept the €39.90 monthly subscription. If you have already used the €0.50 offer, review your account and payment statements for recurring charges.

  2. Treat contacthunt.io as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

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 contacthunt.io a scam or a legit online store?
contacthunt.io looks like a likely subscription trap — we recommend against paying or entering card details. Our review tagged it for subscription trap. 1 of 92 security engines flag it. 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.
Is contacthunt.io safe to use?
contacthunt.io has a Safety Score of 28/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
I already paid or entered my details on contacthunt.io — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on contacthunt.io, 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 contacthunt.io 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.
Can I get my money back from contacthunt.io?
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.
I ordered from contacthunt.io but nothing arrived — is it a fake shop?
That's the classic pattern of a fake or non-delivery shop. These sites take payment for products that never ship, or send cheap counterfeits, then go quiet and eventually disappear. If you paid by card, contact your bank about a chargeback for "goods not received." Keep your order confirmation and any messages, don't pay extra "customs" or "release" fees they may demand, and report the store so others are warned.
How do I report contacthunt.io?
You can report contacthunt.io 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.
contacthunt.io looks professional — how can it still be a scam?
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.
Has contacthunt.io been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged contacthunt.io as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is contacthunt.io on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — contacthunt.io 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.
Does contacthunt.io have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — contacthunt.io presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 66 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 contacthunt.io hosted?
contacthunt.io 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.
How often is the contacthunt.io report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 28, 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 contacthunt.io has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
