Yes — this is almost certainly a scam.
ipl.rojupdate.com is a 317-day-old subdomain flagged by eight antivirus engines as malicious or phishing despite appearing as a personal finance blog.
Score breakdown
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
Website Preview
Automated page render — captured in a safe sandbox. What an ordinary visitor would see when loading the site.
Intelligence
The subdomain sits under rojupdate.com, a Hindi blog covering finance, stocks, and automotive topics. Eight antivirus engines flagged the page, with ADMINUSLabs, CyRadar, and Lionic marking it malicious while alphaMountain.ai and Fortinet flagged it as phishing. The domain registered on 29 August 2025 through DreamHost with no privacy protection. No scam reports or complaints turned up in our research, and the IP carries a clean abuse score. The site claims to be run by an individual named A.K. Bhardwaj from Uttar Pradesh with only a Gmail contact address listed. The combination of recent registration, multiple engine detections, and lack of verifiable business registration outweighs the clean browser blocklist and zero scam mentions.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for ipl.rojupdate.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- The domain ipl.rojupdate.com is a subdomain of rojupdate.com, which is a Hindi-language blog focusing on finance, stock markets, and automotive news.
- The site uses the 'IPL' (Indian Premier League) prefix likely for SEO purposes to capture traffic related to cricket, though the main domain focuses on financial education.
- The site's 'About Us' page identifies the owner as A.K. Bhardwaj from Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, and provides a Gmail address (golu62850@gmail.com) for contact.
- IBM X-Force and other security crawlers categorize the parent domain as 'General Business' or 'News & Blogs' with no active malware detections.
- The site contains generic financial guides for the USA, UK, and Canada, which may be AI-generated or aggregated content to drive ad revenue.
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for ipl.rojupdate.com and didn't find scam reports or complaints. For a new or low-traffic site this is expected and is not by itself a sign of trust.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- ipl.rojupdate.com is a dangerous scam site — avoid interacting with it. 9 of 92 security engines flag it (8 as outright malicious). The domain is 10 months old through DreamHost, LLC. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — ipl.rojupdate.com scored just 1/100 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 ipl.rojupdate.com, 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 ipl.rojupdate.com 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 ipl.rojupdate.com 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. 9 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged ipl.rojupdate.com, 8 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 — ipl.rojupdate.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.
- ipl.rojupdate.com is 10 months old, registered on August 29, 2025 through DreamHost, 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.
- ipl.rojupdate.com resolves to an IP operated by Hostinger International Limited in IN (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.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 13, 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 ipl.rojupdate.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
