Has styxmarket.com been reported to consumer protection agencies or scam trackers?
Executive summary
Independent scam-tracking sites and malware vendors have flagged domains in the “styxmarket” family as suspicious or high-risk, with Scamadviser showing low trust scores for styxmarket.com and related hosts and Gridinsoft labeling styxmarket.cc suspicious [1] [2] [3] [4]. Public consumer-protection agencies (FTC, CFPB, state attorney general offices) provide clear channels for reporting scams, but the sources reviewed do not show a public complaint record lodged specifically with those agencies about styxmarket.com [5] [6] [7] [8].
1. Scamadviser and automated trackers: algorithmic red flags
Multiple Scamadviser pages for styxmarket.com, styxmarket.cc and tracking subdomains conclude a low trust score or “may be a scam,” citing server co-hosting, domain data and user reviews as inputs to an automated trust algorithm [1] [2] [3]. Scamadviser’s reports are visible and have been queried dozens to hundreds of times, signaling public interest, but Scamadviser itself warns its automated analysis can be wrong and recommends further due diligence [2] [3].
2. Anti‑malware vendor reporting: a different kind of signal
Gridinsoft, an anti‑malware vendor, classified styxmarket.cc as “suspicious” in a malware scan and provided details about domain registration and blocking behavior — a vendor-level protective action rather than a consumer-protection agency enforcement action [4]. Malware/antivirus vendors have incentives to flag risky domains for customer safety and for their commercial offerings; such flags are important signals but are not the same as formal regulatory complaints or legal findings [4].
3. Dark‑web and threat research context that muddies the picture
Cybersecurity research cited by Resecurity describes a “STYX Marketplace” emerging on criminal forums and Telegram, focused on financial fraud tools and data extraction services — a context that associates the STYX name with illicit markets but does not directly equate the public-facing styxmarket.com domain with those dark‑web services in the sources reviewed [9]. The connection raises concern and context for investigators, but the source does not document a formal consumer-agency complaint about the styxmarket.com website itself [9].
4. Consumer protection agencies: channels exist, but no public complaint shown
Federal and state consumer protection bodies — the FTC, CFPB, state attorney general consumer offices and USA.gov complaint portals — actively collect reports and provide public education and visualization tools for scam trends [5] [10] [6] [7] [8] [11]. The reviewed sources explain how to file complaints and that agencies share complaints with companies or other agencies, yet none of the provided materials show a logged or published complaint record naming styxmarket.com at those official portals [5] [6] [7].
5. What the evidence supports and what remains unknown
The evidence supports that styxmarket.* domains are flagged on third‑party scam trackers and by at least one anti‑malware vendor, creating consistent external warnings to consumers [1] [2] [3] [4]. What remains unknown from the provided reporting is whether consumers have filed formal complaints about styxmarket.com with agencies such as the FTC, CFPB or state attorneys general, or whether any such complaints resulted in investigations or enforcement — those administrative records are not present in the supplied sources [5] [6] [8]. Alternative viewpoints exist: Scamadviser cautions its automated rating can be incorrect and some Scamadviser subdomains received higher trust scores, underscoring the need for manual verification [2] [12]. Additionally, vendor flags come with commercial incentives to promote protective products [4].
Conclusion: direct answer
Yes — scam‑tracker and malware‑vendor sites have reported or flagged styxmarket domains as suspicious or low‑trust (Scamadviser, Gridinsoft) and security researchers have associated the STYX name with illicit marketplaces in cybercrime research [1] [2] [3] [4] [9]. No evidence in the provided reporting directly documents formal complaints or public enforcement actions lodged with consumer protection agencies (FTC/CFPB/state AGs) specifically naming styxmarket.com; those agency complaint channels exist and are the appropriate next step for affected consumers [5] [6] [7] [8] [11].
