High-risk advertising and traffic-routing domain linked to unwanted browser behavior
Rel-s.com identifies itself as an advertising-delivery and traffic-routing domain rather than a content or shopping site. That function is corroborated by its link to Propush.me, but substantial technical warnings outweigh the limited positive checks: 9 engines classified the domain as malicious and 1 as suspicious, while an external security warning describes browser hijacking, unsolicited tabs, pop-ups, and redirects. The domain is therefore High Risk despite its age, valid encrypted connection, and lack of a current Safe Browsing warning.

- Moderate3 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Scam from the same owners of Monetag and Propellerads"

Lost money or shared details on rel-s.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 rel-s.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
NameCheap, Inc. registered this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- 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
Rel-s.com identifies itself as an advertising-delivery and traffic-routing domain rather than a content or shopping site. That function is corroborated by its link to Propush.me, but substantial technical warnings outweigh the limited positive checks: 9 engines classified the domain as malicious and 1 as suspicious, while an external security warning describes browser hijacking, unsolicited tabs, pop-ups, and redirects. The domain is therefore High Risk despite its age, valid encrypted connection, and lack of a current Safe Browsing warning.
Strong technical warnings
The saved scan recorded 9 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection across 93 engines. A separate security warning characterizes rel-s.com as a browser hijacker capable of changing browser settings, opening unsolicited tabs, displaying pop-up advertisements, and redirecting visitors.
A valid encrypted connection and no current Safe Browsing warning are favorable technical checks, but they do not negate the broader detection record or establish that the advertising flow is safe.
Advertising operator context and reputation concerns
The site says it is operated for traffic routing and advertisement delivery and links visitors across domains to Propush.me, including links associated with its legal pages. It also states that it does not sell goods or services or request payment from users.
Independent reputation evidence adds operator-level concern: one review alleges a scam involving the same owners, and a publisher complaint says a Propush.me account was blocked after connecting another monetization service. These allegations do not prove what every visitor will experience, but they weaken confidence in the associated operation.
Why the score is 24
9 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. 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 Timeline

First appeared in WHOIS records — 6 years old when this review was saved.
- Oct 10, 2026Saved security review — Rated High Risk
The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
rel-s.com is an established domain now carrying threat signals. An older domain that starts tripping security checks is a classic pattern for an asset that was sold, repurposed, or compromised — the age alone is not reassurance.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Certificate issued for rel-s.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.
Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
