IPTV-QC is a live redirect to Caribou HD, an IPTV subscription storefront whose brand, checkout and migration story are unverified
Visiting http://iptv-qc.com/ does not show a service of its own: the browser is redirected to caribouhd.com, where the screen labels the operation as IPTV QUEBEC HD (Caribou HD). The destination is a transaction-oriented streaming IPTV shopfront, with promotional codes such as CARIBOU10, annual subscriptions, a cart and sell-through prompts to create an account or log in. The domain itself is several years old and the saved TLS and Safe Browsing checks were clean, but one saved antivirus observation previously marked the URL as suspicious and the operator explains the domain change only on the redirected page. Because the site's own contact details were not reviewed in full, the service's legality, ownership and delivery reliability cannot be verified from the evidence, which keeps this in the Moderate Risk band rather than Safe.

Why 62/100
Moderate Risk covers scores 45–69. 4 findings pulled the score down; 2 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- ModerateThe destination is a transaction-oriented IPTV storefront with promo codes, annual subscription discounts, a cart and account creation prompts.
- Moderate1 antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
- MinorThe page redirected the browser to an unrelated external domain.
- MinorThe requested IPTV-QC domain redirects the browser to an external Caribou HD domain rather than serving content itself.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe registrable domain is 1259 days old, which is not consistent with a freshly created throwaway domain.
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.

Investigation Brief
Visiting http://iptv-qc.com/ does not show a service of its own: the browser is redirected to caribouhd.com, where the screen labels the operation as IPTV QUEBEC HD (Caribou HD). The destination is a transaction-oriented streaming IPTV shopfront, with promotional codes such as CARIBOU10, annual subscriptions, a cart and sell-through prompts to create an account or log in. The domain itself is several years old and the saved TLS and Safe Browsing checks were clean, but one saved antivirus observation previously marked the URL as suspicious and the operator explains the domain change only on the redirected page. Because the site's own contact details were not reviewed in full, the service's legality, ownership and delivery reliability cannot be verified from the evidence, which keeps this in the Moderate Risk band rather than Safe.
What the redirected domain actually sells
The page carries a visible IPTV QUEBEC HD / Caribou HD identity and a current promotion: use promo code CARIBOU10 to get $10 off already-reduced annual subscriptions. A cart and account prompts are presented alongside it, including 'Mon panier', 'Nouveau sur CARIBOU HD - IPTV QUEBEC ? Créer un compte' and 'Déja client ? Se connecter'.
The storefront also offers setup help and device-specific apps, listing items such as Tivimate Android Box – Android TV, TV intelligente – IBO Player, TV intelligente – IPTV Smarter Pro and an application for Apple devices. This is a paid-access product funnel, not a news or directory site.
The operator identity is tied to the migration: the domain iptv-qc.com delivers the visitor to caribouhd.com, and the destination explains that this is the successor prompted by technical problems with a supplier or server. That explanation only comes from the redirected page itself and is not independently verified.
Technical signals vs. operator and customer risk
The technical picture is mixed but not alarming: the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. Separately, one saved antivirus observation from Gridinsoft previously marked the URL as suspicious; that detection is stale and comes from a saved result rather than a fresh submission, so it should be treated as a single-prior-warning data point, not a live infection.
The domain is 1259 days old, which is a supportive signal against a throwaway or just-registered storefront, but age alone does not verify who runs the service. The site's own contact details were not reviewed, so the real-world operator, refund path and delivery reliability remain unconfirmed.
Why the score is 62
The destination is a transaction-oriented IPTV storefront with promo codes, annual subscription discounts, a cart and account creation prompts. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What a visitor actually does
A visitor arriving at iptv-qc.com is immediately moved to caribouhd.com, where the first page block pushes an annual subscription promotion and a $10 code. The exposure begins at that point: the visitor is asked to create an account and add a subscription to a cart.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
Once at the storefront, the flow continues through the cart and checkout elements such as 'Mon panier' and '0 Panier', meaning a purchase decision is expected on this site. The evidence does not show the payment processor, refund terms or whether any subscription is actually delivered, so a buyer cannot confirm what happens after currency changes hands.
Do not subscribe on the strength of the IPTV-QC redirect alone. If you still want to test Caribou HD, look for independent, dated reviews and a clear refund policy before paying for an annual plan, and consider paying monthly first. Because the site's own contact details were not reviewed and the operator story is only on its own redirected pages, avoid sharing card data you cannot afford to have at risk.
Web research findings
Independent findings for iptv-qc.com, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for iptv-qc.com. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.
