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

This is a direct IP connection to 185.181.244.178, not a proper website domain. The IP is blacklisted on spam databases like CleanTalk for activity on 64 sites and one brute-force attack, with last spam as recent as May 2026. It also appears in StopForumSpam 16 times and other blocklists. While no antivirus engines flag it and scam reports are zero, the heavy complaint count and abuse history make it untrustworthy. No SSL or hosted domains add to the red flags.
