Is angelsofhope.co.uk legit or a scam?
Real UK charity site for women facing abuse with 5.5-year domain but three antivirus malware flags and removed charity registration.
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 page presents itself as a legitimate community organisation helping women in Manchester with abuse support and mental health services. The strongest negative signal is three antivirus detections labelling the site malicious or malware. Supporting signals include a domain registered over five years ago, no scam reports or complaints found anywhere, and documented grants plus mentions in official UK reports. The original charity number was removed in 2023 with assets transferred to a new registered entity. These mixed signals lower our overall trust score even though no direct evidence of fraud exists.
