Antivirus clear Not on major blacklists

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.

Confidence

The address resolves to a residential or small-business broadband connection in Metro Manila rather than a commercial web server. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists returned completely clean results with no flags. No scam reports, complaints, or positive reviews appear in any searched sources, which is normal for an unindexed IP. Because the target is an IP instead of a registered domain, there is no WHOIS data, SSL certificate, or company record to evaluate. This combination leaves the page in a gray area where it is not actively malicious but also not trustworthy for any normal use.
