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 was registered just five days ago, which is a major red flag for a site claiming to represent a global financial institution. Seven different security engines, including Fortinet, Emsisoft, and Sophos, have already flagged the URL as a phishing threat. The page uses a meta description that specifically targets American Express customers in Panama with a fake 'annual fee waiver' campaign. There is no legitimate contact information, physical address, or corporate transparency provided. The combination of extreme domain youth and high antivirus detection rates confirms this is a malicious setup.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site targets Spanish-speaking users by impersonating American Express Panama. It uses a lure regarding an 'exoneration of annual fees' for elite cards to trick users into providing sensitive data. The page lacks any standard corporate footers, legal disclosures, or functional contact methods.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind a common content delivery network, which is often used by malicious actors to hide the true origin of the server. It uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, but this only encrypts the connection and does not prove the site's legitimacy.

Domain History

The domain amex-caspua.com was created on May 17, 2024, making it only five days old at the time of analysis. Real financial institutions do not launch critical customer campaigns on brand-new, non-official domains. The registrar is a common choice for short-lived phishing sites.

Web Reputation

Our threat intelligence network shows a high level of consensus regarding this domain's intent. Multiple specialized phishing detectors have blacklisted the site. It has no presence in global traffic indexes, which is expected for a targeted scam page.

Safety FAQ

  • No — amex-caspua.com scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. amex-caspua.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 84 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

  • No. amex-caspua.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
