Verdict

linkurl.pk is a malicious URL shortener flagged by multiple security vendors for phishing and malware distribution.

The site presents as a URL shortening service with a 'Generate' button, but 13 antivirus engines classify it as malicious. It uses browser verification gates (EggyWall) that commonly hide malicious redirects or scam funnels.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Security vendor detections and external warnings

13 independent antivirus families flagged linkurl.pk as malicious, specifically citing phishing and malware distribution.

An independent site-rating service's reports a very low trust score indicating strong likelihood the website is a scam.

URLert classifies the domain as potentially malicious and notes it operates as a URL shortening service hosting browser verification gates.

Observed site behavior and contact details

The site displays a 'Generate' button typical of URL shortening services, but the domain is associated with malicious activity.

Contact information consists only of a generic Gmail address (shrturl79@gmail.com) with no verifiable operator details or registration information.

The site implements an EggyWall browser verification gate requiring users to enter blue text to continue, a technique frequently used to obscure malicious destinations.

Why the score is 15

13 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

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 linkurl.pk a scam or a legit download site?

linkurl.pk is a dangerous malware or deceptive-download site — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for phishing and malware. 15 of 93 security engines flag it (15 as outright malicious). This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.

Is linkurl.pk safe to use?

No — linkurl.pk 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 linkurl.pk?

If you've already paid or handed over details on linkurl.pk, 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 linkurl.pk 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 linkurl.pk?

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 linkurl.pk?

Simply loading a page is usually lower-risk than downloading or running a file from it. If you downloaded or opened anything from linkurl.pk, 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 linkurl.pk?

You can report linkurl.pk 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 linkurl.pk 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 linkurl.pk been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 15 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged linkurl.pk, 15 of them as outright malicious in the saved analysis from October 6, 2026. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is linkurl.pk on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — linkurl.pk 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.

Where is linkurl.pk hosted?

linkurl.pk resolves to an IP operated by GHOSTnet in DE (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 linkurl.pk report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 12, 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 linkurl.pk has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
