Verdict

Science by HUGS is a moderate-risk research-product shop with limited transparency

The site presents categories including powders, oral tablets, injectables, and skin care, while its terms restrict products to lawful research and prohibit use in humans or animals. It accepts payment methods that may include Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo and says it ships only within the Las Vegas service area. These unusual conditions warrant caution, but the supplied evidence does not establish non-delivery, payment theft, or another confirmed scam mechanism.

Use caution and avoid buying injectables, tablets, or other research-labeled products unless you can independently verify the seller, product identity, lawful intended use, payment protections, and local delivery terms. Do not treat the absence of a browser warning as proof that a transaction is safe.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The site presents categories including powders, oral tablets, injectables, and skin care, while its terms restrict products to lawful research and prohibit use in humans or animals. It accepts payment methods that may include Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo and says it ships only within the Las Vegas service area. These unusual conditions warrant caution, but the supplied evidence does not establish non-delivery, payment theft, or another confirmed scam mechanism.

The product presentation and purchase terms raise customer-safety questions

The catalog includes oral tablets, injectables, skin care, and lyophilized powders, yet the terms say buyers may use the products only for lawful research and not in humans or animals. That mismatch makes it especially important to understand what is being purchased and how it may legally be used.

Payment methods communicated at purchase may include Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo, while the stated shipping area is limited to Las Vegas, Nevada. Customers should verify the exact seller, product, payment protections, and delivery terms before transferring money.

Technical checks are mixed but do not show a broad threat consensus

The saved checks found a valid encrypted connection and no Safe Browsing warning. Only one of 92 antivirus checks marked the URL suspicious, so there was no broad detection consensus.

The hosting address had an abuse-confidence score of 45 out of 100 across 41 saved reports. This is a cautionary hosting signal, not proof that this particular shop is malicious.

There is little operating history to assess

The domain was only 14 days old when checked, so it had little history available for evaluation. The site does provide a domain-based support email, but that alone does not establish the seller's reliability.

Why the score is 56

The site lists tablets and injectables while its terms limit products to research and prohibit use in humans or animals. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

    The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.

sciencebyhugs.com was registered very recently when this review was saved and was already flagged. Freshly-registered domains are disproportionately used for scams, and a young domain with active threat signals warrants extra caution.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Use caution and avoid buying injectables, tablets, or other research-labeled products unless you can independently verify the seller, product identity, lawful intended use, payment protections, and local delivery terms. Do not treat the absence of a browser warning as proof that a transaction is safe.

  2. Treat sciencebyhugs.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

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 sciencebyhugs.com a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give sciencebyhugs.com a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 14 days old — recently-registered sites carry more risk. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is sciencebyhugs.com safe to use?
sciencebyhugs.com has a Safety Score of 56/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has sciencebyhugs.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged sciencebyhugs.com as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is sciencebyhugs.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — sciencebyhugs.com 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 sciencebyhugs.com domain?
sciencebyhugs.com is 14 days old, registered on September 11, 2026 through Cloudflare, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Does sciencebyhugs.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — sciencebyhugs.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, valid for another 75 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".
Where is sciencebyhugs.com hosted?
sciencebyhugs.com resolves to an IP operated by GitHub, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the sciencebyhugs.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 26, 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 sciencebyhugs.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Conclusion

The site presents categories including powders, oral tablets, injectables, and skin care, while its terms restrict products to lawful research and prohibit use in humans or animals. It accepts payment methods that may include Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo and says it ships only within the Las Vegas service area. These unusual conditions warrant caution, but the supplied evidence does not establish non-delivery, payment theft, or another confirmed scam mechanism.

Recommended actionUse caution and avoid buying injectables, tablets, or other research-labeled products unless you can independently verify the seller, product identity, lawful intended use, payment protections, and local delivery terms. Do not treat the absence of a browser warning as proof that a transaction is safe.
