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 page presents itself as a creator portfolio for 'John Brown' hosted on Google Sites infrastructure, but six independent antivirus engines—including Fortinet, CyRadar, ADMINUSLabs, and alphaMountain.ai—classify it as phishing or malicious. The domain is nearly 5.3 years old, which initially suggests legitimacy, but the combination of phishing-engine consensus, a hosting IP with 34 abuse reports and a score of 37/100, and the absence of legitimate contact information (no phone, no postal address) points to credential harvesting. The page loads Google authentication libraries and tracking scripts, a common pattern in phishing sites designed to capture login attempts. The lack of any business registration or verifiable identity behind 'John Brown' further supports the phishing classification.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays a minimal creator portfolio claiming to be for 'John Brown,' an AR/Digital Artist in Newcastle, NSW. It shows follower and view counts but provides no verifiable contact method—no phone number, postal address, or social-media links are present. The page loads Google authentication and analytics libraries, consistent with phishing infrastructure designed to intercept login credentials.

Infrastructure

The domain uses a valid SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt, 47 days to expiry) and is hosted on IP 198.185.159.144. That IP has accumulated 34 abuse reports and scores 37/100 on abuse reputation, indicating a history of hosting malicious or spam content. The site redirects across two hops to external domains, including Google services and amplnks.com (a URL shortener often used in phishing campaigns).

Domain History

Registered 1,934 days ago (approximately 5.3 years) via Squarespace Domains II LLC with privacy protection disabled. The age alone does not guarantee legitimacy; long-lived phishing domains are common, especially when they impersonate legitimate services like Google Sites.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing: Fortinet, CyRadar, ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, and CRDF. Browser blocklists show no hit, but the antivirus consensus is strong. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting minimal legitimate traffic.

Risk Factors
7
  • Six antivirus engines flag the domain as phishing or malicious, including tier-1 detectors Fortinet and CyRadar.

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 addmsgpost.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — addmsgpost.com scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. addmsgpost.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 47 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • addmsgpost.com is 5.3 years old, registered on 2/24/2021 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 8 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged addmsgpost.com as malicious or suspicious (8 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. addmsgpost.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • addmsgpost.com resolves to an IP operated by Squarespace, 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 13, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around addmsgpost.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
