If this is a scam — what it means for you
Visitor flow and exposure
A visitor lands on losslesscut.net and clicks a prominent 'Download LosslessCut' button.
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.
The button redirects the visitor to the official GitHub repository for LosslessCut.
Because the site is listed as a fake clone, any future modification of the redirect or injected download could expose users to repackaged or bundled software.
Download LosslessCut only from the official GitHub repository at github.com/mifi/lossless-cut and avoid third-party domains that the maintainer has flagged.
Web research findings
Independent findings for losslesscut.net, 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.
