Verdict

Static replica of Rakuten.com flagged as phishing by 19 security vendors

The site at rakuten-two.vercel.app is a non-official static recreation of the Rakuten.com landing page, hosted on Vercel as a personal project by developer Eustace Mbanefo. Despite the clear attribution in the footer, the page mimics the legitimate shopping service's interface and commercial CTAs, triggering widespread antivirus detection as a phishing threat.

Do not interact with the site or enter any credentials. Even though it appears to be a student project, the phishing classification and brand impersonation make it unsafe for any user activity.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Security vendor consensus

17 independent antivirus families and 19 of 92 antivirus engines classify the URL as malicious or phishing, citing its deceptive appearance as a major brand's site.

Technical flags versus operator intent

The page is a static replica with no active scripts or credential forms detected in the evidence, and the footer explicitly credits the developer Eustace Mbanefo 2023.

However, the mimicry of Rakuten's commercial interface, including 'Join Now' and 'Add to Chrome' buttons, creates a high risk of credential-harvesting if the site is later modified or if users enter personal information.

What a visitor encounters

The landing page presents Rakuten's familiar shopping messaging and prompts users to 'Join Now' or install a browser extension, exactly as the legitimate service would.

Why the score is 25

17 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is rakuten-two.vercel.app a scam or a legit website?

rakuten-two.vercel.app looks like a likely phishing & impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for clone site. 19 of 92 security engines flag it (19 as outright malicious). The domain is an unknown age. 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.

Is rakuten-two.vercel.app safe to use?

rakuten-two.vercel.app has a Safety Score of 25/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.

I already paid or entered my details on rakuten-two.vercel.app — what should I do?

If you've already paid or handed over details on rakuten-two.vercel.app, 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 rakuten-two.vercel.app 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.

Can I get my money back from rakuten-two.vercel.app?

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.

Did rakuten-two.vercel.app steal my password or personal information?

If you entered anything on rakuten-two.vercel.app, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.

How do I report rakuten-two.vercel.app?

You can report rakuten-two.vercel.app 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.

rakuten-two.vercel.app looks professional — how can it still be a scam?

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.

Has rakuten-two.vercel.app been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 19 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged rakuten-two.vercel.app, 19 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is rakuten-two.vercel.app on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — rakuten-two.vercel.app 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.

How old is the rakuten-two.vercel.app domain?

rakuten-two.vercel.app is an unknown age. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.

Does rakuten-two.vercel.app have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — rakuten-two.vercel.app presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR1, valid for another 45 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".

How often is the rakuten-two.vercel.app report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on August 11, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about rakuten-two.vercel.app has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
