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 domain name 'richcoins' combined with a 20-day registration age and six antivirus detections (alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ChainPatrol, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Fortinet all flagging phishing or malicious activity) points to a coordinated fraud operation. The page title and meta description describe 'StrideSpark — Activity Studio,' a fitness-tracking application, but this appears to be a bait-and-switch tactic designed to evade detection and lure users. The complete absence of contact information — no email, phone, or postal address — combined with zero social links and no business registration evidence rules out a legitimate startup. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting it has no organic user base. The SSL certificate is valid but recent (69 days old), consistent with hastily-deployed phishing infrastructure.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as 'StrideSpark,' a playful activity-tracking studio with features like adaptive challenges, leaderboards, and team rituals. However, the domain name 'richcoins.pro' — a clear reference to cryptocurrency wealth — contradicts this narrative entirely. This mismatch is a classic bait-and-switch pattern used to bypass automated detection and social-engineering filters.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on IP 104.21.10.241 with a clean abuse score (0/100) and no reported abuse history, suggesting the IP itself is not flagged. However, the SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt, 69 days to expiry) is recent and typical of disposable phishing infrastructure. No redirects or homoglyph tricks detected.

Domain History

Registered only 20 days ago via NameCheap with privacy protection disabled. The extremely short age combined with the crypto-themed domain name and phishing detections is a strong indicator of malicious intent. Legitimate fitness startups do not typically register under '.pro' domains with 'richcoins' in the name.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the domain as phishing or malicious: BitDefender, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, alphaMountain.ai, ChainPatrol, and CRDF. Browser blocklists remain clean, likely because the domain is too new to have been widely reported. The site is not indexed in global traffic rankings and has zero legitimate business signals.

Risk Factors
7
  • Domain name 'richcoins.pro' directly references cryptocurrency, contradicting the stated 'fitness app' purpose — classic bait-and-switch.
  • Six antivirus engines flag as phishing or malicious, including tier-1 detectors BitDefender and Fortinet.

  • Zero contact information: no email, phone, postal address, or social links anywhere on the page.
  • No business registration, no verifiable operator identity, and no legitimate company signals.

Positive Signals
3

AI Recommendation
Do not enter any personal information, credentials, or payment details on this site. The combination of a crypto-themed domain name, misleading content, and six antivirus detections indicates active fraud. Report the domain to your browser's abuse channel and to antivirus vendors if you encounter it.
Scam network detected
Related infrastructure identified

The domain exhibits classic phishing-operation characteristics: crypto-themed name, fitness-app decoy content, new registration, and multi-engine antivirus consensus. This pattern is consistent with coordinated fraud campaigns that use misleading landing pages to harvest credentials or redirect users to malicious services.

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 richcoins.pro as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — richcoins.pro scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. richcoins.pro presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, expiring in 69 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • richcoins.pro is 20 days old, registered on 5/28/2026 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 10 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged richcoins.pro as malicious or suspicious (9 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. richcoins.pro is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • richcoins.pro resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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 richcoins.pro have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
