Intelligence
The domain registered in March 2019 and belongs to Moonsworth LLC, a Delaware company listed on Forbes 30 Under 30. Our antivirus network returned zero detections across 92 engines and the hosting IP shows no abuse history. The page displays a professional storefront with real navigation, blog posts, and social links to Discord and Instagram. Evidence shows the site itself publishes warnings about phishing attempts using look-alike domains such as lunarclients.com. Mixed user feedback on Reddit and Trustpilot centers on performance and support rather than fraud. The combination of age, business registration, clean technical signals, and official scam-education content outweighs the handful of complaints.

What to do
Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on www.lunarclient.com and not a lookalike like w-ww.lunarclient.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
