Investigation Brief

The page shows a PUBG Mobile-themed reward site with Naruto collab skins, weapons, and discounted bundles using Midasbuy branding. It promises free or cheap in-game items via a redemption flow. Nine of 92 VirusTotal engines flag it as phishing; Safe Browsing and TLS checks are clean. Domain is 963 days old with no observed credential forms on the captured screenshot.

What the site appears to do

Displays official-looking PUBG Mobile store interface with limited-time Naruto x PUBG items, player ID entry prompt, and discounted UC bundles. Visuals include Ferrari sponsorship header and countdown timers typical of official events.

Strongest evidence and limitations

Strongest signal is aggregate antivirus detection of phishing across BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Kaspersky and others. No credential harvesting forms or downloads observed in page content or screenshot. Google Safe Browsing returned clean; domain age and valid TLS provide limited mitigation.

Practical user impact

Visiting risks account compromise or malware if login or download prompts appear later. Users should redeem only through official PUBG Mobile in-game center or verified Midasbuy domains.

Why the score is 12

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

What this means for you

You were probably about to log in or type personal details here.

Anything you enter — username, password, card number, one-time code — goes straight to criminals, who use it to take over your real accounts and drain them.

How this scam works

The trap, step by step

  1. They clone a real login page (a bank, email provider, PayPal, a courier) pixel-for-pixel.

  2. You're driven here by an email, text, or ad with an urgent reason to “verify”, “unlock”, or “confirm” your account.

  3. You type your username and password — which flow straight to the scammers instead of the real company.

  4. They log into your real account, change the password, and drain it or sell the access.

Recognising the pattern is the best defence — if a site follows these steps, close it and don't enter anything.

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.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to game safely? Use a safe option instead

Buying games, skins, or in-game currency? Purchase only through official platform stores — third-party "free" or discount currency sites are a common scam and account-theft vector.

Steam

Official PC game store (Valve).

Epic Games Store

Official store with weekly free games.

Official platform store

For consoles or in-game currency, use the Xbox / PlayStation / Nintendo store or the game's own site.

08 · 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com a scam or a legit website?
special-reward.midas-redeem.com is a high-risk phishing & impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for prize-giveaway-gift-card and phishing-impersonation. 9 of 92 security engines flag it (9 as outright malicious). The domain is 2.6 years old through Aceville Pte. Ltd.. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is special-reward.midas-redeem.com safe to use?
No — special-reward.midas-redeem.com has a Safety Score of 12/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
I already paid or entered my details on special-reward.midas-redeem.com — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on special-reward.midas-redeem.com, 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com?
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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on special-reward.midas-redeem.com, 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com?
You can report special-reward.midas-redeem.com 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.
special-reward.midas-redeem.com 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 9 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged special-reward.midas-redeem.com, 9 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — special-reward.midas-redeem.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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com domain?
special-reward.midas-redeem.com is 2.6 years old, registered on December 12, 2023 through Aceville Pte. Ltd.. 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.
Where is special-reward.midas-redeem.com hosted?
special-reward.midas-redeem.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 1, 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 special-reward.midas-redeem.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
