Score breakdown

Visual 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
This site presents as a professional streaming service but exhibits the characteristic design patterns of an unauthorized media piracy portal.
What our vision model saw
4 signalsThe site uses a layout and aesthetic style that closely mimics major subscription-based streaming platforms like Netflix.
The platform name 'FILMPIRE' is associated with unauthorized streaming services that often host copyrighted content without licensing.
The presence of 'Trending movies' with arbitrary user ratings (e.g., 7.9/10) is a common tactic to build false credibility on pirate streaming sites.
The interface design is highly derivative, utilizing standard UI patterns for media discovery to appear legitimate to users.
Intelligence
The domain was registered only 83 days ago through Spaceship, Inc. and carries no business registration. One antivirus engine marks it malicious while two others flag it suspicious. Gridinsoft and Scam Detector both assign extremely low trust scores and warn of phishing or spam activity. The page presents as a free movie and TV streaming service with no contact details or verifiable ownership. These factors together place the site in the suspicious category rather than outright malicious.

Technical Details

A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- filmpire.cc is a dangerous scam site — avoid interacting with it. 3 of 92 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). The domain is only 2 months old through Spaceship, Inc. — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — filmpire.cc scored just 10/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on filmpire.cc, 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 filmpire.cc 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.
- Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
- You can report filmpire.cc 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.
- Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged filmpire.cc, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
- No — filmpire.cc 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.
- filmpire.cc is 2 months old, registered on May 3, 2026 through Spaceship, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- filmpire.cc resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (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.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 26, 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 filmpire.cc has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
