Is 199.96.164.186 legit or a scam?
Bare IP address blacklisted for spam and brute-force attacks with 98 abuse complaints logged.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The address serves no normal website and instead appears in multiple abuse databases for malicious activity. CleanTalk reports 97 websites attacked plus brute-force attempts, while StopForumSpam lists a related spam report. Nearby IPs in the same range show similar spam flags, indicating the hosting provider's network is frequently abused. No business registration or positive signals exist to offset these findings. The complete absence of traffic ranking or legitimate content further supports treating the IP as unsafe.
