Investigation Brief
pepe.deals is a 276-day-old personal project that aggregates PC game deals from official stores like Steam, GOG, and Epic. The operator openly states they are an individual developer, not a company, and provides source code on GitHub. While three antivirus engines flag the domain, no evidence shows credential harvesting, malware distribution, or financial deception.
Strongest evidence
The site footer explicitly states the operator is an individual helping developers earn money and users save money, with all trademarks belonging to their respective owners.
the multi-engine malware scan shows 3 malicious and 1 suspicious detection across 92 engines, flagged by alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Webroot.
Technical versus operator risk
Technical flags appear to be automated classifications of a smaller independent site rather than confirmed active threats, as no malware distribution or phishing behavior is documented.
The operator maintains transparency by publishing source code on GitHub and linking to their personal project site pepeizqapps.com.
Real visitor flow
Visitors see official store links to Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store for game deals, plus options to register, login, access subscriptions, and download a browser extension.
Why the score is 72
Three antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
