Is fandom.wiki a scam?

Our automated security review marked fandom.wiki as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is fandom.wiki safe to use?

fandom.wiki currently scores 47/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does fandom.wiki have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. fandom.wiki presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1, expiring in 160 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the fandom.wiki domain?

fandom.wiki is 4.5 years old, registered on 12/17/2021 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has fandom.wiki been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report fandom.wiki as clean.

Is fandom.wiki on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. fandom.wiki is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is fandom.wiki hosted?

fandom.wiki resolves to an IP operated by Amazon.com, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the fandom.wiki report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 4, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around fandom.wiki have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

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.

Confidence

The domain is currently inactive and does not host any wiki content. Our page analyzer found an access denied error, while our web research indicates the domain is being held for sale at a price of $98,888. Although the domain is over four years old, it has no global traffic ranking and no business registration. It is important to distinguish this site from the official 'fandom.com' platform. The high asking price and lack of content are typical of domain squatting rather than an active service.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is currently non-functional. Our crawler encountered an access denied error, and there is no visible text, contact information, or business branding present on the site.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a major content delivery network, but the IP address has a history of abuse reports. It uses a valid SSL certificate from GoDaddy, which is common for parked or for-sale domains.

Domain History

Registered over 1,600 days ago via NameCheap, the domain has been held for several years without developing into a functional website. It is currently listed for sale on the open market.

Web Reputation

There are no direct scam reports for this specific .wiki domain. However, users frequently confuse it with the legitimate Fandom platform, which has its own history of malvertising issues. This domain remains a high-risk target for potential impersonation.

Risk Factors

Domain is currently parked and non-functional.
Hosting IP has 25 recorded abuse reports.
No business registration or contact details found.
High visual risk score due to access denied errors.
Potential for brand confusion with the official fandom.com.

Positive Signals

Domain is over 4.5 years old.
Zero detections across 92 antivirus engines.
Valid SSL certificate is in place.

AI Recommendation

Avoid interacting with this page as it contains no functional content. If you are looking for the wiki hosting service, ensure you are visiting the official .com domain.
