Is fsave.io legit or a scam?
Facebook video downloader with privacy-protected registration, unverified Singapore business claims, and conflicting trust scores across independent scanners.
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.

MT Intelligence
FSave.io operates as a functional online tool for downloading Facebook videos, and our antivirus network reports no malware or phishing detections. However, several signals create uncertainty. The domain was registered in January 2023 with privacy-protected WHOIS via a US proxy, and the claimed Singapore business address at 8 Club Street has no official registry confirmation despite being listed on the site and Google profiles. Independent trust aggregators show mixed results: one scanner assigned a 78/100 positive score, while another flagged it as medium-risk with potential phishing concerns. The page triggered a tech-support-scam family match in our content analysis, though no actual tech-support behaviour (fake support numbers, urgent help prompts, or credential harvesting) appears on the live page. Reddit users report the tool works for downloading private videos, and no scam complaints or fraud reports surfaced in our research. The combination of unverified business claims, privacy-obfuscated registration, and the scam-family flag creates moderate suspicion despite clean malware scans and positive user feedback.

Possible tech-support scare page
Pages like this impersonate Microsoft, Apple, or your ISP to trick you into calling a number or granting remote access.
- Treat fsave.io as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Do not call the number and do not install any "support" tool
Microsoft, Apple, Google, and legitimate ISPs never show a pop-up with a phone number. Installing AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or "Windows Support" at their request hands over your computer.
- Close the page — end the browser process if needed
If the page has locked your browser, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Esc (Mac) and end the browser task. Reopen your browser with "Don't restore tabs".
- OpenIf you already gave remote access or paid
Disconnect the device from the internet. Run a full scan with Malwarebytes or a reputable AV. Change your passwords from a different device. Call your bank to dispute any payment and request a new card.
