Verdict

Domain impersonates official Indian transport service and forces APK download

govmparivahan.site is a newly registered domain that mimics the legitimate mParivahan government service and automatically pushes an Android APK file. The file triggered a malware detection from one antivirus engine, and the domain itself is less than one day old.

Do not visit the site or download the APK. Use only the official parivahan.gov.in domain and the verified Google Play version of mParivahan.

Investigation Brief

govmparivahan.site is a newly registered domain that mimics the legitimate mParivahan government service and automatically pushes an Android APK file. The file triggered a malware detection from one antivirus engine, and the domain itself is less than one day old.

Strongest evidence

The site automatically redirects visitors to download Nextgen_mParivahan.apk from GitHub.

One antivirus engine flagged the APK as Chong Lua Dao malware.

The domain was registered on 2026-08-17, making it 0 days old at analysis time.

Technical versus operator risk

The APK file carries a confirmed malware signature, creating direct technical risk of device infection.

The operator risk is high because the site impersonates a government service to distribute the file.

Visitor flow

A visitor lands on govmparivahan.site and is immediately redirected to download the APK.

The downloaded file triggers an antivirus alert, indicating potential malicious behavior.

Why the score is 15

Chong Lua Dao detection on the APK. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Your next move

Avoid this site

    Do not visit the site or download the APK. Use only the official parivahan.gov.in domain and the verified Google Play version of mParivahan.

  2. Do not interact with govmparivahan.site

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is govmparivahan.site a scam or a legit download site?
govmparivahan.site shows every sign of being a malware & deceptive downloads — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for malware and clone site. 1 of 92 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). The domain is only 0 days old through Porkbun LLC — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is govmparivahan.site safe to use?
No — govmparivahan.site has a Safety Score of 15/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
What should I do if I already gave my details to govmparivahan.site?
If you've already paid or handed over details on govmparivahan.site, 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 govmparivahan.site 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.
Can I get my money back from govmparivahan.site?
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.
Is my device infected after visiting govmparivahan.site?
Simply loading a page is usually lower-risk than downloading or running a file from it. If you downloaded or opened anything from govmparivahan.site, run a full scan with reputable antivirus software and consider it untrusted. If you only viewed the page, keep your browser and OS updated, watch for unexpected pop-ups or new programs, and change passwords from a clean device if you entered any.
How do I report govmparivahan.site?
You can report govmparivahan.site 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.
Why does govmparivahan.site look legitimate if it's a scam?
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.
Has govmparivahan.site been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged govmparivahan.site, 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.
Is govmparivahan.site on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — govmparivahan.site 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.
How old is the govmparivahan.site domain?
govmparivahan.site is 0 days old, registered on August 17, 2026 through Porkbun LLC. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Where is govmparivahan.site hosted?
govmparivahan.site resolves to an IP operated by Porkbun, LLC in US (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.
How often is the govmparivahan.site report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 18, 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 govmparivahan.site has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
