Is creativecircle-hiring.com legit or a scam?
Fake Creative Circle hiring portal uses Google sign-in to steal credentials on a domain registered today.
This is a fake job site impersonating Creative Circle to harvest Google credentials. The domain was registered today and is a typosquat of the real staffing agency. Do not sign in or share any information.
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.

We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
This page appears to be a credential harvesting attempt using a fake scheduling portal that leverages the Creative Circle brand to entice users to sign in via Google.
What our vision model saw
4 signalsUses a 'Continue with Google' button to gate access to a scheduling interface
Requests OAuth authentication for a basic meeting scheduling task
Uses branding of a legitimate company (Creative Circle) to solicit sign-in credentials
Absence of verifiable contact details or standard corporate website navigation
Intelligence
The domain creativecircle-hiring.com was registered on 2026-07-21, making it zero days old. It is a typosquat of the legitimate creativecircle.com and the official company states it does not use this domain. The page presents a Google OAuth login under the Creative Circle brand for what it claims is a scheduling task. Visual analysis shows the site requests OAuth authentication while providing no contact details or corporate navigation. The evidence package confirms job scams impersonating Creative Circle are common and the company explicitly states it never requests fees or card details during hiring. Antivirus engines and browser lists returned clean, but the combination of brand impersonation, credential request, and brand-new domain outweighs those results.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- creativecircle-hiring.com is a high-risk phishing — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for fake job and phishing. The domain is only 0 days old through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — creativecircle-hiring.com scored just 2/100 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 creativecircle-hiring.com, 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 creativecircle-hiring.com 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 creativecircle-hiring.com, 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 creativecircle-hiring.com 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 creativecircle-hiring.com 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 — creativecircle-hiring.com 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.
- creativecircle-hiring.com is 0 days old, registered on July 21, 2026 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- creativecircle-hiring.com resolves to an IP operated by 1337 Services GmbH in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 22, 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 creativecircle-hiring.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
