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.

Shop shows non-delivery red flags

Young Brazilian payment gateway with critical-risk rating and merchant complaints about undelivered products and refund issues. Several red flags typical of non-delivery shops are present. Don't pay by crypto or wire, and keep the chargeback window in mind.

Visual Screenshot Analysis

We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.

Moderate visual risk

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The page renders as a professionally designed Brazilian fintech landing page for a payment-gateway service, with no overt scam indicators visible in this view. The crypto withdrawal feature and migration promotional banner are minor elevated signals worth noting, but the overall layout and design quality are consistent with a legitimate SaaS product.

Visual risk30/100

What our vision model saw

6 signals

Site presents as a Brazilian payment gateway ('PaySync') offering PIX, card, crypto, and Discord payments via a single API — a niche but plausible fintech product.

Announcement banner promotes a migration offer with a 'Fale conosco' CTA, a mild urgency/promotional tactic but not an aggressive countdown timer.

'NOVO' badge promoting crypto withdrawal ('Saque em cripto agora disponível') adds a crypto angle that warrants attention but is not inherently deceptive on a payment-gateway landing page.

Standard cookie consent modal visible at bottom-right; no intrusive push-notification prompt or overlay blocking content.

Design quality is professional: consistent dark teal color scheme, clean typography, structured navigation with Recursos/Integração/Premiações/Preços/FAQ — no placeholder text or broken layout detecte

No visible trust badges, security seals, fake testimonials, celebrity endorsements, or pre-filled sensitive data forms observed in this view.

Confidence
PaySync presents itself as a legitimate fintech payment processor for Brazilian merchants, with professional design and documented API endpoints. However, the evidence reveals serious concerns. The company (PAYSYNC PAGAMENTOS LTDA) was registered only in February 2026 — making it 3–4 months old — and the domain itself is 111 days old. More critically, independent complaint aggregators have flagged usepaysync.com as 'Cenário crítico' (critical scenario) and recommend caution before using the service. Reclame Aqui, a major Brazilian consumer-complaint platform, lists the company with complaints centred on 'Produto não recebido' (product not received) at 40%, indicating merchants using the gateway failed to deliver goods to customers. The lack of any positive reviews, combined with emerging refund disputes and the extremely young age of both domain and company, creates a pattern consistent with either a poorly-operated early-stage processor or a deliberate fraud scheme targeting Brazilian merchants and their customers.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a professional SaaS landing page for a payment gateway, with clear sections on features (PIX instant settlement, Discord bot integration, crypto withdrawal), pricing, API documentation, and a login portal. The design is polished with consistent branding, no placeholder text, and functional navigation. However, the content makes aggressive claims ('start selling for free', '98% approval rate', 'instant settlement in 0.3 seconds') typical of both legitimate fintech and fraudulent payment-processor schemes.

Infrastructure

Domain registered 111 days ago via Hostinger; SSL certificate valid (Let's Encrypt, 40 days to expiry). Hosting IP 216.150.16.193 has an abuse score of 0/100 but carries 5 historical abuse reports. No antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious, and it is not listed on major browser blocklists. The clean technical scan does not rule out fraud — many payment-processor scams operate with valid SSL and clean AV status.

Domain History

Domain is 111 days old. The associated company, PAYSYNC PAGAMENTOS LTDA (CNPJ 65.195.121/0001-81), was registered in Brazil on 19 February 2026, making it approximately 3–4 months old. This extreme youth is a major red flag for a financial-services entity handling merchant and customer payments.

Web Reputation

Independent complaint aggregators rate usepaysync.com as 'Cenário crítico' (critical scenario) and recommend caution. Reclame Aqui lists the company with complaints focused on 'Produto não recebido' (40%), indicating merchants using PaySync failed to deliver products to end customers — a pattern suggesting either gross operational failure or deliberate fraud. No positive reviews, Trustpilot entries, or independent trust ratings were found. The absence of positive signals combined with critical-risk flagging is a strong negative indicator.

Risk Factors
7
  • Company registered only 3–4 months ago (February 2026); domain 111 days old — extreme youth for a financial-services entity.
  • Independent complaint aggregators flag usepaysync.com as 'Cenário crítico' and recommend caution before using the service.
  • Reclame Aqui complaints centre on 'Produto não recebido' (40%), indicating merchants using the gateway failed to deliver products.
  • No positive reviews, an independent review aggregator entries, or independent trust ratings found; only critical-risk flagging.
  • Contact email (contato@usepaysync.com) uses the site's own domain, but Instagram presence (@usepaysync) shows low follower count, inconsistent with a legitimate payment processor.
  • Crypto withdrawal feature ('Saque em cripto') added recently; combined with youth and complaints, suggests potential exit-scam or high-risk financial operation.
  • Hosting IP carries 5 historical abuse reports, though current abuse score is 0.
Positive Signals
5
  • SSL certificate is valid and issued by Let's Encrypt; domain uses HTTPS.
  • No antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious; not listed on major browser blocklists.
  • Site design is professional and consistent; no obvious placeholder text, broken layout, or phishing indicators.
  • Company has a registered CNPJ in Brazil and published privacy policy, terms of use, and API documentation.
  • No clone-site indicators detected; presents as an original Brazilian fintech product.
AI Recommendation
Do not use this payment gateway to process customer payments or merchant transactions. If you are a merchant considering PaySync, research alternative, established payment processors with longer track records and positive independent reviews. If you have already processed payments through PaySync, monitor your account and customer refund requests closely.

Fake-shop warning signs

Signals common to non-delivery scam shops were detected on this site.

  • Treat usepaysync.com as unverified

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

  • If you already paid by card or PayPal — start a chargeback

    Contact your bank or card issuer and dispute the charge as "goods not received" or "merchant fraud." PayPal users can open a case in the Resolution Centre. Act within 120 days for card chargebacks in most jurisdictions.

  • Save every piece of evidence

    Screenshots of the checkout, order confirmation emails, any chat transcripts, and the product listing page. Chargeback and fraud reports go faster when you have receipts.

  • Report the shop

    Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov), Action Fraud UK, or your local consumer-protection body. Post the URL on the MalwareTips scam forum so other buyers can find it.

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 marked usepaysync.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • usepaysync.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. usepaysync.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 40 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • usepaysync.com is 3 months old, registered on 2/20/2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 91 antivirus engines in our malware network report usepaysync.com as clean.
  • No. usepaysync.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • usepaysync.com resolves to an IP operated by Vercel, 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 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around usepaysync.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Final Verdict

Final Verdict·usepaysync.com
SUSPICIOUS

PaySync is a Brazilian payment gateway claiming to offer PIX, card, and crypto processing, but shows multiple red flags: the company is only 3–4 months old, the domain is 111 days old, and independent complaint aggregators flag it as high-risk with merchant-delivery failures and refund disputes.

Do not use this payment gateway to process customer payments or merchant transactions. If you are a merchant considering PaySync, research alternative, established payment processors with longer track records and positive independent reviews. If you have already processed payments through PaySync, monitor your account and customer refund requests closely.
