Verdict

faceb00k.com is a phishing domain impersonating Facebook to harvest credentials.

The site uses a homoglyph domain (faceb00k.com) that closely mimics Facebook’s legitimate domain. Multiple antivirus engines flag it as malicious, and the page redirects to 127.0.0.1 while lacking valid TLS, indicating a credential-harvesting attempt.

Do not visit faceb00k.com or enter any credentials. Use only the official facebook.com domain and enable two-factor authentication.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The site uses a homoglyph domain (faceb00k.com) that closely mimics Facebook’s legitimate domain. Multiple antivirus engines flag it as malicious, and the page redirects to 127.0.0.1 while lacking valid TLS, indicating a credential-harvesting attempt.

Evidence of impersonation and malicious classification

Research sources explicitly identify faceb00k.com as a phishing URL that replaces the letter “o” with the digit “0” to resemble Facebook’s real domain.

Thirteen independent antivirus families reported the domain as malicious or phishing, confirming the threat classification.

Technical indicators of risk

The saved TLS check shows the connection did not validate, leaving visitors exposed to interception or further redirection.

The domain redirects to the internal IP 127.0.0.1, a behavior consistent with malicious redirection or local testing of phishing payloads.

Why the score is 5

13 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

faceb00k.com is an established domain now carrying threat signals. An older domain that starts tripping security checks is a classic pattern for an asset that was sold, repurposed, or compromised — the age alone is not reassurance.

Your next move

Avoid this site

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

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Do not visit faceb00k.com or enter any credentials. Use only the official facebook.com domain and enable two-factor authentication.

  2. Do not interact with faceb00k.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  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

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 faceb00k.com a scam or a legit website?
faceb00k.com is a dangerous phishing & impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing. 15 of 90 security engines flag it (14 as outright malicious). The domain is 21 years old through Media Elite Holdings Limited, S.A.. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is faceb00k.com safe to use?
No — faceb00k.com has a Safety Score of 5/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
I already paid or entered my details on faceb00k.com — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on faceb00k.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 faceb00k.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.
Can I get my money back from faceb00k.com?
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.
Did faceb00k.com steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on faceb00k.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.
How do I report faceb00k.com?
You can report faceb00k.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.
faceb00k.com 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 faceb00k.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 15 of 90 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged faceb00k.com, 14 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is faceb00k.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — faceb00k.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.
How old is the faceb00k.com domain?
faceb00k.com is 21 years old, registered on September 13, 2005 through Media Elite Holdings Limited, S.A.. 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.
Where is faceb00k.com hosted?
faceb00k.com resolves to an IP operated by Limestone Networks, Inc. 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.
How often is the faceb00k.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 15, 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 faceb00k.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
