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 domain 4mypet.co.uk has been registered for 3,473 days (approximately 9.5 years), which is a strong indicator of a stable, long-running business. Our research confirmed the site is operated by Paul Fitzpatrick through 4Wire, a fencing and wire-mesh supplier based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, with a physical address and phone numbers on file. Independent review aggregators show a 4.5–4.6 out of 5 rating across 71 customer reviews, with consistent praise for product quality, on-time delivery, and professional installation service. No scam reports or significant complaints were found in our search. The three antivirus-engine detections (ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Sophos) are likely false positives triggered by the site's e-commerce framework or SSL configuration, as the hosting IP has zero abuse reports and the domain is not blocklisted by major browser safeguards. The page lacks visible contact details on the homepage, but our research located verified phone numbers and email addresses associated with the business.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The homepage displays a generic e-commerce template titled 'Your Store' with a shopping-cart interface. No visible contact information, business name, or product details appear on the initial page load. The body text is primarily CSS styling for the cart widget, suggesting the page is a JavaScript single-page app that loads product content dynamically after rendering.

Infrastructure

The domain uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services with 38 days remaining. Hosting IP 172.67.192.152 has an abuse score of 0/100 with no reported abuse incidents. The site redirects once to a cross-domain endpoint, which is typical for e-commerce platforms using CDN or load-balancing services.

Domain History

Registered 3,473 days ago (approximately 9.5 years) through PublicDomainRegistry.com with privacy protection enabled. The long registration history and stable hosting indicate a mature, established business rather than a temporary or disposable domain.

Web Reputation

Independent review aggregators report a 4.5–4.6 out of 5 rating from 71 verified customer reviews. Customers consistently praise product quality, timely delivery, and professional installation. The business is linked to 4Wire, a fencing supplier with 16+ years of trading history. No scam reports, complaints, or clone-site indicators were detected. The site maintains active social-media profiles on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and eBay, as well as a gallery of completed installations.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags 4mypet.co.uk as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — 4mypet.co.uk scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. 4mypet.co.uk presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 38 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • 4mypet.co.uk is 9.5 years old, registered on 12/7/2016 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. 4mypet.co.uk is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • 4mypet.co.uk resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 12, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around 4mypet.co.uk have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
