Is gdemoideti.ru legit or a scam?
Official site for the 'Где мои дети' child GPS tracker app with multiple complaints about unauthorized yearly subscriptions and poor billing support.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page promotes a real Russian parental-control app that has over 1.5 million users and a Wikipedia entry confirming the developer. Our antivirus network returned only a single flag while browser blocklists and the hosting IP showed clean results. The strongest negative signal comes from three app-store reviews explicitly calling the service a cash grab and describing unauthorized subscription charges. Positive mentions exist on review sites and the company is registered in Russia with an active status. These billing complaints lower trust even though the domain itself is not a fake or malware site.

Suspicious free-trial offer
This page combines a "free trial" or "$1 trial" pitch with auto-renew / rebill language — a classic negative-option billing trap.
- Treat gdemoideti.ru as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Your card will be charged the full price after the trial
Most subscription traps bill the full amount ($49-$149) 14 days after sign-up, and every month thereafter. "Cancel anytime" often means you must call a foreign support line that's deliberately hard to reach.
- If you already signed up — call your bank today
Ask your bank to block future charges from the merchant and dispute any charges already made. Many banks will issue a new card number to prevent recurring billing. Save the confirmation email as evidence.
- OpenReport the billing scheme
Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or your national consumer-protection body — subscription traps are specifically illegal in most jurisdictions when the auto-bill terms aren't clearly disclosed.
