It appears that Mindcrate.com may not be a trustworthy site. There are several red flags suggesting it's potentially a scam:

  • The reviews look suspicious and possibly fabricated.
  • Social media links at the bottom of the site are either broken or lead nowhere.
  • The IQ tests provided aren't scientifically valid and appear to be auto-generated.
  • The website design and content seem to be created using AI tools (possibly something like the Claude Sonnet LLM), rather than by a legitimate organization.

Charging $0.99 for an "IQ test" and then attempting to bill $39.99 later is a common tactic used by deceptive sites. If you entered any personal or payment information, we recommend contacting your bank, disputing the charge, and considering a fraud alert or card replacement.

What is Mindcrate?

Mindcrate.com is in our scam category. This label is used for domains linked to deceptive offers, non-fulfillment after payment, or data collection under false pretenses.

What users usually see: copied branding, fake trust badges, edited reviews, and checkout pressure (timers, "last items", "verify payment"). These signals are easy to fake and should not be treated as proof of legitimacy.

Safety step: do not send documents, card photos, or wallet transfers. If a payment was already made, contact your bank/provider immediately and preserve receipts, URLs, and message screenshots.

This domain was registered 16 years ago through the company Wild West Domains, LLC and ownership information is not publicly available.
