Is mystrikingly.com legit or a scam?
Official Strikingly subdomain host showing PayPal impersonation and credential-harvest patterns, but legitimate underlying business with 7-year history.
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.
Analysis Summary
Phishing site — do not log in
A PayPal login is shown on an unrelated domain — classic credential-harvest pattern. This page looks designed to steal credentials. Don't log in — and if you already did, change the password anywhere you reused it and turn on two-factor authentication.

MT Intelligence
mystrikingly.com is registered to Strikingly, a legitimate Y Combinator-backed website builder founded in 2018 and based in Sunnyvale, California. The domain is over 7 years old, hosted on Amazon infrastructure with valid SSL, and serves as the official free subdomain platform for user-created Strikingly sites. However, our page analysis detected a login form combined with PayPal branding on the root domain, which matches a credential-harvest pattern. The page title and meta description are identical to Strikingly's official marketing, and the external domains loaded are all legitimate Strikingly properties. One scam report exists on independent review sites citing billing overcharges, though this reflects user complaints about the service rather than the domain itself being fraudulent. The root domain is not on browser blocklists and has clean antivirus reputation.
