Is recom-lab.com legit or a scam?
Nine-day-old task scam site impersonating a legitimate job opportunity, flagged by Cloudflare phishing warning and confirmed by multiple scam-report databases.
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.

MT Intelligence
The domain was registered only 9 days ago and is already flagged by Cloudflare with an active phishing warning interstitial. Our research found three independent scam reports, including a detailed Reddit post from a victim who was recruited via LinkedIn for a fake Amazon product-boosting job. The scam follows a classic pattern: initial deposit of ~$10 escalates to hundreds or thousands in Bitcoin or credit card charges, with victims unable to withdraw and receiving pressure from fake trainers and shill chat groups. Independent review aggregators assigned it a 1% trust score within days of the Reddit report. No legitimate business registration exists, and the domain shows all hallmarks of a coordinated fraud operation targeting job seekers.

Our research found three confirmed scam reports. A Reddit post in r/Scams detailed a victim who was recruited via LinkedIn and Indeed for a fake part-time job on recom-lab.com involving Amazon product review boosting. The victim reported being required to deposit approximately $10 initially, with costs escalating to hundreds or thousands in Bitcoin and credit card charges, with no ability to withdraw funds. The scam employed classic task-scam tactics: a fake dashboard, trainer pressure, and shill-filled chat groups insisting 'this isn't a scam.' Independent review aggregators (ScamDoc and ScamWatcher) flagged the domain as fraudulent within 1–2 days of the Reddit report, assigning it a 1% trust score and citing negative internet reviews and the very recent domain registration. No legitimate business presence, positive reviews, or verifiable company registration was found.

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

- Yes. recom-lab.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 80 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 14, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around recom-lab.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
Final Verdict
Recom-lab.com is a task scam that lures job seekers via LinkedIn and Indeed with fake work-from-home offers, then demands upfront deposits that escalate into the hundreds or thousands with no way to withdraw funds.
