Is fapello.is legit or a scam?
Typosquat clone of fapello.com that hosts unauthorized OnlyFans leaks and triggers suspicious redirects according to Reddit reports.
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.

Intelligence
The domain fapello.is is a direct clone and typosquat of fapello.com, which itself operates in a high-risk niche distributing unauthorized adult content. Our sandbox and antivirus network returned clean results with no malware detections. However, the evidence package shows two Reddit threads where users describe the site triggering tasks, new windows, and phishing concerns. Twenty-five complaints were logged across sources, and the site lacks any business registration or contact details. The combination of clone behavior, user reports of malicious redirects, and the absence of legitimate business infrastructure raises the risk level despite clean engine scans.

What to do
Possible brand impersonation
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Treat fapello.is as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
Final Verdict
Fapello.is is a clone of the adult leak site fapello.com. The domain is a typosquat, Reddit users report suspicious redirects and pop-ups, and the site hosts unauthorized leaked content.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- fapello.is looks like a likely brand impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for clone site. The domain is 2.5 years old. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
- Proceed with caution — fapello.is scores 45/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on fapello.is, 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 fapello.is 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 fapello.is, 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 fapello.is 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 fapello.is 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 — fapello.is 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.
- fapello.is is 2.5 years old, registered on January 4, 2024. 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.
- Yes — fapello.is presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, valid for another 72 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".
- fapello.is resolves to an IP operated by BYTEFLARE LTD in FI (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.
