Mystery LLM API gateway alpme.com has zero verifiable operators, scam feared
OfficialBlazeNee · reddit · 2026-10-24
A Reddit user came across alpme.com via a YouTube promo — an OpenRouter-style unified LLM API gateway — but can find no information about who runs it.
- No company name, About page, team, social media, Discord, GitHub, or any contact/support channel.
- Zero indexed web presence: no reviews, mentions, or directory listings; the domain certificate was only issued Oct 20, 2026.
The poster is asking for experience reports and suspects an outright scam: YouTube-ad-driven gateways that collect deposits and vanish are a known pattern. A caution against funding accounts on unvetted, unattributed API resellers.
