Six-day-old lookalike domain serves a fake Google sign-in page built to collect email credentials
my-settings-google.com is not a Google service. It is a freshly registered domain (six days old) that displays a Google-styled "Sign in" screen asking for an email address, with "Forgot password?" and "Create account" links copied from the real flow. Three antivirus families flagged the site, and independent phishing feeds list it. The page's own contact details were not reviewed because the content is built by scripts, so there is no operator identity to check against. This is a credential-harvesting page, and the score reflects that.

Why 8/100
Dangerous covers scores 1–20. 6 findings pulled the score down; 2 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- Decisive3 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result.
- ModerateThe page renders a Google-styled "Sign in" screen with an email field, "Forgot password?", "Create account" and "Next", on a domain Google does not operate.
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "http://my-settings-google.com"
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "my-settings-google.com Sign in 2026-11-08RulesLow RiskAIHigh Risk “Google” in the hostnameAI analysis 2026-11-08"
- MinorThe domain is six days old and combines "my-settings" with "google" in the hostname.
- MinorThe page is script-rendered, so its contact details were not visible to our review and no operator could be identified.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning at the time of the check.

Lost money or shared details on my-settings-google.com? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on my-settings-google.com, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
Name.com, Inc. takes abuse reports at abuse@name.com (7202492374). Include the address and what happened.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
my-settings-google.com is not a Google service. It is a freshly registered domain (six days old) that displays a Google-styled "Sign in" screen asking for an email address, with "Forgot password?" and "Create account" links copied from the real flow. Three antivirus families flagged the site, and independent phishing feeds list it. The page's own contact details were not reviewed because the content is built by scripts, so there is no operator identity to check against. This is a credential-harvesting page, and the score reflects that.
A Google sign-in screen on a domain Google does not own
The rendered page shows "Sign in", "Use your Google account", an email field, "Forgot password?", "Create account" and a "Next" button — the exact sequence of Google's real login step. The page markup carries the same email input with autocomplete set for email, so the form is wired to accept an address and submit it onward.
The hostname is a lookalike: it strings "my-settings" and "google" together on a domain that is only six days old. Google does not run its account sign-in on a domain like this, and the site discloses no operator, registration or contact information that could be checked — the page is script-rendered, so its contact details were not visible to our page review.
Security vendors and phishing feeds already list it
Saved scanning results show 3 malicious and 1 suspicious detections across 93 engines, with three independent antivirus families — Kaspersky, Netcraft and SOCRadar — reporting an adverse result. Netcraft and SOCRadar specialise in phishing takedowns, which fits what the page displays.
Independent phishing tracking feeds also carry the URL, and a brand-abuse analysis of the hostname flags the "Google" string in the domain as high risk. These are external warnings about this exact host, not a generic category label.
Clean encryption and hosting do not make the page trustworthy
The connection is encrypted with a valid certificate and the browser threat feed returned no warning at the time of the check. Neither says anything about who runs the site: a phishing page can hold a valid certificate, and blocklist coverage lags behind new domains — this one is six days old.
The site sits on shared cloud hosting whose IP carries no abuse history (0/100 across 68 saved reports). That is normal for a platform hosting thousands of unrelated projects and tells you nothing favourable about this particular site's operator.

What this means for you
What happens when someone types their address
A visitor who lands here sees a Google-branded sign-in prompt and is asked to enter their Google account email, then press "Next" — the same first step as the genuine login, so the request feels routine.
How the observed mechanism works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
The address is submitted to this domain rather than to Google, and the page continues the flow with "Forgot password?" and "Create account" links that keep the visitor inside the imitation. The page's purpose, as identified by the phishing feeds and vendor detections, is collecting those credentials.
Do not enter your email, password or any Google verification code on this page. Close the tab and reach your Google account only by typing accounts.google.com yourself or opening the app. If you already submitted your address or password here, change your Google password immediately, sign out of other sessions, and turn on two-step verification.

- Nov 9, 2026Saved security review — Rated Dangerous
The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
my-settings-google.com was registered very recently when this review was saved and was already flagged. Freshly-registered domains are disproportionately used for scams, and a young domain with active threat signals warrants extra caution.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
Domain & Encryption
At the scan on Nov 9, 2026: 2% of the registration period had passed
Report this domain to its registrar: send the address and what happened to this contact.
A certificate issued weeks or days before the scan on a domain registered recently is common on short-lived sites, though new legitimate sites look the same.
At the scan on Nov 9, 2026: 7% of the validity period had passed
Certificate issued for www.my-settings-google.com.
A shared content-delivery network address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
