Is link.me legit or a scam?
Legitimate creator platform plagued by scammer activity; 4 antivirus engines flag phishing, but the site itself is operational and registered—the risk is user-generated fraud on the platform.
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.

MT Intelligence
Linkme operates as a genuine link-in-bio SaaS service with a registered US business entity (Me Global App Inc., Deerfield Beach, FL), active mobile apps on major stores, and a professional website. However, four antivirus engines (Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, DNS8, VIPRE) flag the domain as phishing or malicious, which warrants investigation. The evidence package reveals the core issue: Apple App Store reviews consistently report scammers contacting users immediately after signup or joining the ambassador program, requesting PayPal details and posing as sugar-momma prospects. an independent review aggregator shows a poor 2/5 score from 12 reviews, and YouTube content titled "LinkMe a SCAM!?" exists. Positive reviews acknowledge the platform's legitimate functionality and customer service, but the volume and specificity of fraud complaints—combined with the antivirus detections—indicate the domain may be flagged due to its association with user-generated phishing and scam activity rather than being a phishing site itself. The company has a public CEO, physical address, and active support channels, which supports legitimacy, but the platform's poor reputation management and apparent inability to prevent scammer infiltration elevates risk.

- No. link.me is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
