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 impersonates a legitimate PlayStation rewards service but exhibits multiple hallmarks of a phishing and data-harvesting operation. Five antivirus engines detected it as malicious or phishing, including CRDF and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker marking it as malicious and SOCRadar flagging it as phishing. The domain was registered only 43 days ago with no legitimate business presence — no contact email, no postal address, no social links, and zero traffic ranking. The page displays fake user reviews with timestamps ('3 min ago', '10 min ago') praising instant code delivery, a classic social-engineering tactic. The core mechanic — requiring users to complete 'free offers' and pass 'anti-bot verification' before receiving codes — is a standard data-harvesting funnel designed to collect personal information and expose users to malicious partner offers. The SSL certificate is valid but recent (47 days to expiry), consistent with a short-lived phishing campaign.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site claims to distribute free PlayStation Network codes through a 'sponsorship model' funded by user participation in partner offers. It displays fake 5-star reviews with recent timestamps and urgency language ('ngl I thought this was another scam lol but I actually got the $25 code'). The core interaction requires users to click 'CLAIM MY REWARD NOW' and complete an 'anti-bot verification' — a euphemism for data-harvesting surveys. No legitimate business information is provided.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 209.112.89.200 with clean abuse reputation (0/100 score, 0 reports), suggesting the IP itself is not flagged but the domain content is malicious. SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt is valid but recent. The site loads Google Tag Manager, a common analytics tool that can also be used for tracking user behaviour across phishing funnels.

Domain History

Registered 43 days ago via Global Domain Group LLC with privacy protection disabled. The domain has zero global traffic ranking and no indexed pages, indicating it was created solely for this campaign. The recent registration combined with the phishing detection pattern is consistent with a disposable phishing domain.

Web Reputation

Five antivirus engines flagged the domain: CRDF and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker as malicious, SOCRadar as phishing, and alphaMountain.ai and Gridinsoft as suspicious. Browser blocklists remain clean, likely because the domain is too new to have been widely reported. No independent review aggregators have rated it.

Risk Factors
7
  • Domain registered only 43 days ago with zero traffic ranking — consistent with disposable phishing campaigns.
  • Five antivirus engines flagged it as malicious or phishing, including tier-1 detectors CRDF and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker.
  • Fake user reviews with recent timestamps ('3 min ago', '10 min ago') are a classic social-engineering tactic to create false urgency and legitimacy.

Signals common to non-delivery scam shops were detected on this site.

  • Do not interact with psxdeal.cc

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

Safety FAQ

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

  • Our automated security review flags psxdeal.cc as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — psxdeal.cc scored 12/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. psxdeal.cc presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E7, expiring in 47 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • psxdeal.cc is 1 month old, registered on 5/5/2026 through Global Domain Group LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 5 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged psxdeal.cc as malicious or suspicious (3 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. psxdeal.cc is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • psxdeal.cc resolves to an IP operated by Ambyre LLC in DE (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 18, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around psxdeal.cc have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
