Tech-support scare page — do not call the number

Is mux.com legit or a scam?
Official Mux video API site with 28-year-old domain, clean scans, and verified San Francisco company registration.
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.

What to do
Possible tech-support scare page
Pages like this impersonate Microsoft, Apple, or your ISP to trick you into calling a number or granting remote access.
- Treat mux.com as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Do not call the number and do not install any "support" tool
Microsoft, Apple, Google, and legitimate ISPs never show a pop-up with a phone number. Installing AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or "Windows Support" at their request hands over your computer.
- Close the page — end the browser process if needed
If the page has locked your browser, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Esc (Mac) and end the browser task. Reopen your browser with "Don't restore tabs".
- OpenIf you already gave remote access or paid
Disconnect the device from the internet. Run a full scan with Malwarebytes or a reputable AV. Change your passwords from a different device. Call your bank to dispute any payment and request a new card.
Final Verdict
Mux.com is the official site for a video infrastructure API used by developers. The domain has been registered since 1998, the company is a real US business founded in 2015, and no scam reports or malicious detections appear anywhere.
