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.

Confidence
The site operates a functional random video chat service with a registered Portuguese business owner and clean antivirus scans. Three separate reports detail predators moving conversations off-platform for sextortion, and over 200 complaints mention account bans that require payment to lift. The platform was banned from Australian app stores in 2025 over child-safety concerns. No malware or phishing indicators appear in the scan data, yet the combination of weak age verification and documented abuse patterns creates ongoing risk for users. The strongest signal is the volume of real-world harm reports rather than any technical red flag on the page itself.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents a standard random video chat interface with country selection, gender filters, and a prominent live-user counter showing over 427,000 users. A login modal requires Facebook, Google, or VK credentials before chatting begins. The footer lists a Portuguese address for Bad Kitty's Dad, LDA and copyright dates spanning 2015-2026. No contact email appears on the page despite the presence of social media links and app-store buttons.

Infrastructure

The domain resolves to Cloudflare IP 172.64.145.43 with a zero abuse score and only one prior report. SSL certificate is valid from Google Trust Services and expires in 65 days. One redirect hop occurs with no cross-domain or homoglyph tricks. External scripts load from Google Tag Manager, jsDelivr, and various social platforms, all typical for a production web app.

Domain History

WHOIS data was unavailable during the scan. The company registration record shows ownership by Bad Kitty's Dad, LDA in Portugal with active status and trademarks filed in the US, UK, and EU. The service has operated under the Ome.tv brand for several years according to the copyright notice.

Web Reputation

Three documented scam reports link the platform to sextortion cases where users were recorded and threatened. Two positive an independent review aggregator reviews describe it as fun for meeting people. Over 200 complaints reference unfair bans that allegedly require an $11 payment to reverse. The service was removed from Australian app stores in 2025 due to grooming and child-safety concerns.

What this means for you

The site itself does not distribute malware or harvest credentials directly, but the platform's weak moderation and documented abuse cases mean users face real risks of being targeted by predators or facing unexpected account restrictions.

What to do

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  • Treat ome.tv as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  • Share your experience

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • ome.tv shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
  • Proceed with caution — ome.tv scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on ome.tv, 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 ome.tv 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.
  • 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.
  • Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
  • You can report ome.tv 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.
  • 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.
  • No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report ome.tv as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
  • No — ome.tv 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.
  • Yes — ome.tv presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 65 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
  • ome.tv resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). 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.
  • Yes — ome.tv ranks in the global top 100,000 most-visited sites, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. Genuine popularity doesn't automatically make a site safe, but throwaway scam domains almost never reach this level of traffic, so it's a meaningful point in the site's favour.
