Verdict

Hims is a real telehealth brand, but its auto-renewing membership and refund terms sit at the centre of a documented consumer complaint.

hims.com is the storefront of Hims, a telehealth company that sells access to prescription treatments and health services through a paid membership. The site itself is technically clean: a valid encrypted connection, no threat warnings, and a hosting address with no abuse history. The concern is commercial rather than technical. The membership is advertised as $39 for the first month and then auto-renews at $149 per month, and the published refund policy gives a full refund only within 48 hours of payment, after which refunds are at the company's sole discretion. A consumer complaint describes exactly that experience: a low introductory charge followed by a much larger monthly membership fee and a refused refund. That combination of an auto-renewing subscription with narrow refund rights is why this site lands in the Moderate Risk band rather than Safe.

If you use Hims, treat it as a paid subscription rather than a one-time purchase. Note the $39 first month and the $149 monthly renewal, and if you do not intend to continue, cancel well before the renewal date, because the published policy only guarantees a full refund within 48 hours of payment. Keep your order and cancellation confirmations in case you need to dispute a charge.

What pulled the score down

  1. ModerateOne customer complaint on a public review site: "Not up front about monthly charges. They start with 39 and then they charge 149 a month just for membership --NO medication. And they won't give you a refund."-19 pts
  2. ModerateThe published refund policy guarantees a full refund only within 48 hours of payment; afterwards refunds are at the company's sole discretion, and unused services do not carry forward after renewal.-19 pts
  3. MinorThe advertised membership is $39 for the first month and auto-renews at $149 per month, a recurring charge well above the introductory price.

What pushed the score up

  • SupportsThe saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, Safe Browsing returned no threat warning, and the hosting IP has no abuse reports.
  • SupportsThe site lists a phone number (1-800-368-0038) and a postal address, and its terms name the company and the third-party providers involved in fulfilment.

Points come from the saved evidence ledger: it lowered the score from 100 to 62 and split those 38 points between the findings that show points; the others carry no points in the ledger. Community reviews never change the Safety Score.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

hims.com is the storefront of Hims, a telehealth company that sells access to prescription treatments and health services through a paid membership. The site itself is technically clean: a valid encrypted connection, no threat warnings, and a hosting address with no abuse history. The concern is commercial rather than technical. The membership is advertised as $39 for the first month and then auto-renews at $149 per month, and the published refund policy gives a full refund only within 48 hours of payment, after which refunds are at the company's sole discretion. A consumer complaint describes exactly that experience: a low introductory charge followed by a much larger monthly membership fee and a refused refund. That combination of an auto-renewing subscription with narrow refund rights is why this site lands in the Moderate Risk band rather than Safe.

The membership renews automatically and refunds are tightly limited

The offer shown on the site is an active Hims Weight Loss Membership priced at $39 for the first month that auto-renews at $149 per month. That is a recurring charge, not a one-off purchase, and the renewal price is roughly four times the introductory price.

The published refund terms reinforce the same structure. A full refund is available only if the request is made within 48 hours of payment and no testing services have been received; after that window, refunds are offered on a case-by-case basis in the company's sole and absolute discretion, and after one year no refund is available at all.

A separate clause states that once a subscription renews, unused services do not roll over or carry forward to a later period, so a customer who misses the cancellation window loses the value of that period rather than having it credited.

A consumer complaint matches the advertised billing pattern

One consumer complaint states that the company was not up front about monthly charges, that a $39 start became a $149 monthly membership charge with no medication included, and that a refund was refused. This is a single complaint rather than a pattern of many independent reports, so it should be read as one customer's account, but it aligns closely with the billing and refund terms the site itself publishes.

The company does disclose who it is: a phone number (1-800-368-0038) and a postal address appear on the page, and the terms describe products and services sold by Hims & Hers or by third-party medical providers, pharmacies, laboratories and other vendors through the service.

No technical threat, but the commercial terms carry the risk

Nothing in the technical checks suggests malware, phishing or a compromised connection. The saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, the browser threat feed returned no threat warning, and the hosting address has an abuse confidence score of 0 out of 100 across zero saved reports.

The risk here is operator and customer risk, not a technical one. The site's own terms place the refund decision largely in the company's hands after the first 48 hours, and the membership renews automatically at a much higher price than the introductory month. A visitor who does not cancel before renewal can be charged again without a straightforward route to a refund.

Why the score is 62

One customer complaint on a public review site: "Not up front about monthly charges. They start with 39 and then they charge 149 a month just for membership --NO medication. And they won't give you a refund.". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

The evidence is mixed or incomplete, so treat this site as unverified until you can confirm who runs it.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    If you use Hims, treat it as a paid subscription rather than a one-time purchase. Note the $39 first month and the $149 monthly renewal, and if you do not intend to continue, cancel well before the renewal date, because the published policy only guarantees a full refund within 48 hours of payment. Keep your order and cancellation confirmations in case you need to dispute a charge.

  2. Treat hims.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  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

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

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 hims.com a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give hims.com a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 29 years old. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is hims.com safe to use?
hims.com has a Safety Score of 62/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 86%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has hims.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 60 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it reported hims.com as clean in the saved analysis from October 23, 2026. 33 other engines had no rating for it. 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.
Is hims.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — hims.com 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 hims.com domain?
hims.com is 29 years old, registered on March 28, 1997 through GoDaddy Corporate Domains, LLC. 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.
Does hims.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — hims.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 56 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".
Where is hims.com hosted?
hims.com 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.
Is hims.com a well-known website?
Yes — hims.com ranks in the global top 100,000 most-visited sites, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. Genuine popularity doesn't automatically make a site safe, but throwaway scam domains almost never reach this level of traffic, so it's a meaningful point in the site's favour.
How often is the hims.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 28, 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 hims.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
