Brand impersonation — not the real site
Typosquat clone of moneybase.com flagged as malware with a 2015 HiRisk listing and only 114 days old. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is themoneybase.com legit or a scam?
Typosquat clone of moneybase.com flagged as malware with a 2015 HiRisk listing and only 114 days old.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site closely mimics the real moneybase.com, a licensed Maltese electronic money institution, but uses a typosquatted domain. Sophos flagged the page as malware while the domain itself is only 114 days old. A 2015 HYIP monitor listing already marked themoneybase.com as high-risk using unlicensed scripts. No business registration exists for this domain and traffic data shows it is not indexed. These combined signals indicate a deliberate impersonation attempt rather than a legitimate operation.

- Do not interact with themoneybase.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
