Is tommyholysnapped.com legit or a scam?
A malicious Google clone linked to the ApateWeb malware campaign that uses deceptive redirects and spam links to infect users.
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.

Brand Impersonation
medium confidenceThe page mentions or styles itself as Google, but is hosted on a domain that is not an official Google property.
MT Intelligence
The site is a pixel-perfect clone of Google's search interface, but it is hosted on a non-official domain with no legitimate connection to the company. Our antivirus network, including Chong Lua Dao and CRDF, has flagged the domain as malicious. Research confirms this domain is part of the 'ApateWeb' campaign, which operates over 130,000 domains to deliver scareware and unwanted programs. The domain is frequently distributed via spam comments on popular social media platforms to trick users into clicking malicious links. Because it impersonates a trusted brand to facilitate malware delivery, we consider it a high-risk threat.
