Verdict

Faction Nine appears to be a legitimate wrestling streetwear shop with no substantiated scam mechanism.

The available evidence identifies Faction Nine as a wrestling-meets-streetwear brand, shows a published 30-day return process, and records a first-order discount offer. Technical checks found an encrypted connection and no browser threat warning. One isolated antivirus detection warrants limited caution, but it lacked broader consensus and is not evidence of malicious activity by itself.

The site appears reasonable to use, but apply normal online-shopping precautions: confirm the return terms before ordering and use a payment method with purchase protection. Stop if checkout unexpectedly moves to an unrelated domain or requests an unusual payment method.

Investigation Brief

Visible retail and customer-service details

The site presents itself as Faction Nine Wrestling Club, where wrestling meets streetwear. Its promotional popup offers 10% off a visitor's first order.

The published order page says returns are available within 30 days of order placement and directs customers to hello@factionnine.com for instructions.

Technical checks are mostly reassuring, with one isolated flag

The saved checks found a valid encrypted connection and no browser threat warning.

One of 92 antivirus engines marked the URL suspicious, while the remaining results provided no vendor consensus. This isolated finding supports ordinary caution but does not establish phishing, malware, or commercial deception.

Why the score is 88

One antivirus engine flagged the URL as suspicious, but there was no broader consensus across 92 engines. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on factionnine.com and not a lookalike like f-actionnine.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

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 factionnine.com legit and safe?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on factionnine.com, so it appears legitimate. and the domain is 11 months old, registered on October 20, 2025 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.

Is factionnine.com safe to use?

factionnine.com has a Safety Score of 88/100 (Safe). One antivirus engine flagged the URL as suspicious, but there was no broader consensus across 92 engines. at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.

Could a legitimate site like factionnine.com still be used in a scam?

Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from factionnine.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from factionnine.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.

Has factionnine.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged factionnine.com as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is factionnine.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — factionnine.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 factionnine.com domain?

factionnine.com is 11 months old, registered on October 20, 2025 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. 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.

Does factionnine.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — factionnine.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 54 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 factionnine.com hosted?

factionnine.com resolves to an IP operated by Shopify, Inc. in CA (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 factionnine.com report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 1, 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 factionnine.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
