prize-bonus.com is flagged by multiple security vendors for phishing and currently serves only a 404 error page.
prize-bonus.com is a 290-day-old domain that is currently unreachable, returning an HTTP 404 error over both HTTP and HTTPS. Despite being offline, nine independent antivirus families have reported the domain as malicious, specifically identifying it as phishing or malicious web content. The site's own pages could not be reviewed, and no legitimate content or reputation was found. The combination of strong adverse vendor detections and the absence of any verifiable legitimate operation places this domain in the High Risk band.

Why 22/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 1 finding pulled the score down; 1 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- Decisive9 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.-15 pts
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning for this domain.
Points come from the saved evidence ledger: it lowered the score from 37 to 22 and split those 15 points between the findings that show points; the others carry no points in the ledger. Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on prize-bonus.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 prize-bonus.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
Cloudflare, Inc. takes abuse reports at registrar-abuse@cloudflare.com (+1.6503198930). 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
prize-bonus.com is a 290-day-old domain that is currently unreachable, returning an HTTP 404 error over both HTTP and HTTPS. Despite being offline, nine independent antivirus families have reported the domain as malicious, specifically identifying it as phishing or malicious web content. The site's own pages could not be reviewed, and no legitimate content or reputation was found. The combination of strong adverse vendor detections and the absence of any verifiable legitimate operation places this domain in the High Risk band.
Strong adverse vendor detections
Nine independent antivirus families reported an adverse result for this domain, identifying it as phishing or malicious web content. These detections come from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so the detection is real but the timing should be confirmed. The specific vendors include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, and Chong Lua Dao.
The browser threat feed currently reports no active threat warning for this domain, which is a supportive signal. However, the multiple independent vendor detections for phishing remain a strong adverse indicator that outweighs the single clean result.
The site is offline and its content could not be reviewed
The site currently returns an HTTP 404 error over both HTTP and HTTPS, and the only visible content is an 'Error 404 Object not found' message. The site's own page, contact, About and policy text was not reviewed because no content was served.
The domain is 290 days old, and the hosting IP has an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 25 saved reports. A valid TLS certificate exists for the host, but the scanned address was served over plain HTTP with no redirect to HTTPS, so the connection was not encrypted.
Why the score is 22
9 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
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.

Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Report this domain to its registrar: send the address and what happened to this contact.
Certificate issued for ea6bb3f2.sni.cloudflaressl.com.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
