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 exhibits multiple high-risk patterns typical of cryptocurrency theft operations. Our antivirus network, including alphaMountain.ai and Webroot, has already flagged the domain for phishing and malicious activity. The domain was registered only 40 days ago and uses a subdomain structure designed to impersonate the official Pi Network. Visual analysis confirms the use of urgency tactics and 'wallet connect' prompts that are characteristic of drainer scripts. Furthermore, independent research has linked this specific domain pattern to known scams reported on community forums.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site promotes a fake '$PINO' token airdrop with tiered rewards up to $5,000 to create a sense of financial opportunity. It employs high-pressure language, claiming users can only participate once, and features a fake 'Official Event' badge to manufacture trust.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a common proxy service and was registered via NameCheap just over a month ago. It lacks any legitimate business registration, contact information, or physical address, which is a major red flag for a financial platform.

Domain History

The domain 'pi-network.space' is a clear typosquat of the legitimate 'minepi.com' domain. This is a deliberate attempt to deceive users who are looking for official Pi Network resources.

Web Reputation

Multiple security engines have blacklisted this URL. Community reports on Reddit and specialized scam-tracking sites have identified similar domains in this network as phishing traps designed to harvest wallet seed phrases.

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators

The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.

  • Do not interact with pino.pi-network.space

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Never paste your seed phrase anywhere

    Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.

  • If you already connected a wallet

    Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.

  • Report the wallet and URL

    File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
