01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The domain 24.radio-free-marseille.online presents itself as a 24/7 radio station but carries an invalid SSL certificate with no issuer and zero days to expiry. No WHOIS data is available, which is unusual for a legitimate broadcaster. The page loads scripts from paypal.com and facebook.com, yet the site itself has no contact email and only a single phone number listed. The privacy policy page identifies the operator as "Smarter Websites UK" rather than an actual radio station, creating a mismatch between branding and ownership. No scam reports or complaints appear in public sources, but the combination of missing domain history, broken encryption, and unclear business identity keeps the risk elevated.

Page Content

The captured page displays a simple radio-streaming layout with navigation links for Listen Live, Schedule, Our Team, About Us, and Contact. The body text mentions "Radio Free Marseille" and includes social links to Facebook, yet the only contact detail is a single phone number with no email address. The privacy-policy sub-page states the site is operated by "Smarter Websites UK" and disclaims responsibility for linked third-party sites. External domains loaded include fonts.googleapis.com, paypal.com, facebook.com, and smarterwebsites.uk.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted at IP 217.194.210.100, which carries an abuse score of 0/100 and zero abuse reports. However, the SSL certificate is invalid, issued by "None," and shows zero days until expiry. A single redirect hop occurs within the same domain. No browser blocklist hits were recorded.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable for this domain, preventing any determination of registration date or registrant identity. The absence of domain-age information is a notable gap for a site claiming to be a public broadcaster.

Web Reputation

No scam reports, complaints, or positive reviews were located in public sources. Independent review aggregators returned no ratings. The lack of any footprint is consistent with a low-traffic or newly created site but does not confirm legitimacy.

What this means for you

Until the domain obtains a valid SSL certificate and publishes verifiable ownership details, treat any prompts for personal information or payments with caution. Listeners can still stream anonymously if the audio feed works, but should not register, donate, or purchase merchandise through this site.

Why the score is 53

The legacy verdict is adverse but its decisive evidence is incomplete. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is 24.radio-free-marseille.online a scam or a legit website?
24.radio-free-marseille.online raises serious red flags as a scam site — avoid interacting with it. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is 24.radio-free-marseille.online safe to use?
24.radio-free-marseille.online has a Safety Score of 53/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 63%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
What should I do if I already gave my details to 24.radio-free-marseille.online?
If you've already paid or handed over details on 24.radio-free-marseille.online, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on 24.radio-free-marseille.online and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from 24.radio-free-marseille.online?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Is my device at risk after visiting 24.radio-free-marseille.online?
Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
How do I report 24.radio-free-marseille.online?
You can report 24.radio-free-marseille.online through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does 24.radio-free-marseille.online look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Is 24.radio-free-marseille.online on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — 24.radio-free-marseille.online is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
Does 24.radio-free-marseille.online have a valid SSL certificate?
No — 24.radio-free-marseille.online has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is 24.radio-free-marseille.online hosted?
24.radio-free-marseille.online resolves to an IP operated by LONDON SHARED SERVERS in GB (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the 24.radio-free-marseille.online report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 26, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about 24.radio-free-marseille.online has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
