Is echty.com legit or a scam?
Billing-obfuscation service collecting partial card data from consumers disputing unrecognized charges; flagged malicious by security vendors.
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.

Visual Screenshot Analysis
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
The page is structured as a billing-descriptor lookup portal that openly admits to using an obscured name on bank statements, combined with a form collecting partial card details from users who do not recognize a charge — a pattern frequently associated with grey-market or unauthorized billing operations.
What our vision model saw
5 signalsSite explicitly describes itself as an 'unrecognizable name' used for billing on credit card statements — a pattern associated with payment obfuscation services used by questionable merchants
Payment search form solicits card brand and last 4 digits of card number, which could be used to harvest partial card data from confused consumers
FAQ section addresses 'Why is ECHTY.COM mentioned on my bank statement?' and 'Can I cancel or refund the payment?' — framing consistent with unauthorized or disputed charges
No visible company name, physical address, registration number, or regulatory information to establish legitimate business identity
Minimal site structure (only 'Search Payment' and 'Contact' navigation) with no product or service description beyond vague 'digital services' and 'credit bundles'
MT Intelligence
ECHTY.COM explicitly describes itself as an 'unrecognizable name' used to hide merchant identity on credit card statements — a hallmark of grey-market or unauthorized billing operations. The site hosts a form requesting card brand, last 4 digits, and expiration date from users who don't recognize a charge, creating a vector for partial card-data harvesting from vulnerable consumers. Three security engines flag the domain as malicious or suspicious, and independent trust aggregators assign it scores of 0/100 and 26/100, citing hidden ownership, merchant-descriptor obfuscation, and chargeback-prevention patterns. The Cyprus-registered business entity (ECHTY, linked to MEDIALIX) was created in January 2024, months after the domain itself (September 2022), suggesting a deliberate restructuring to obscure operations. The site lacks standard business transparency — no physical address, no regulatory registration number, no clear product description beyond vague 'credit bundles' — and the FAQ explicitly addresses how to dispute charges, reinforcing the pattern of handling consumer complaints about unrecognized billing.

"Multiple security vendors blacklist Echty.com, and our checks show a 26/100 trust score. Avoid entering personal or payment data."
ECHTY (ΕΕ 58618) registered 04/01/2024 as Business Name, owner MEDIALIX (CYPRUS) LIMITED (ΗΕ 442566, reg. 12/01/2023, active, address in Lemesos/Lefkosia); domain owner listed as MediaLix LTD (CY)
Our research identified two independent trust aggregators that have analyzed ECHTY.COM. The first assigned a trust score of 0/100, flagging the site as having a 'very strong likelihood' of being a scam due to hidden ownership, low traffic ranking, and chargeback-prevention patterns. The second assigned 26/100, noting that multiple security vendors blacklist the domain and recommending users avoid entering personal or payment data. The Cyprus business registration (ECHTY, linked to MEDIALIX CYPRUS LIMITED) was confirmed as active, but the entity was created in January 2024, months after the domain itself. No user complaints or positive reviews citing specific experiences were found in scam-report databases or consumer-review sites, though the site's low traffic and merchant-descriptor model may limit visibility of user feedback.
