Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents a professional corporate event management and gifting company. Navigation includes sections for events, industries served (healthcare, technology, etc.), gifting product categories, and past client work. Contact information includes a sales email (sales@apgmena.com) and phone number. The page loads fully with no login forms, countdown timers, or suspicious interactive elements.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 118.139.179.1 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt is valid with 43 days remaining. External resources loaded are standard (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts, social media embeds, Nitro CDN). No suspicious redirects or domain tricks detected.

Domain History

Domain registered 5,117 days ago (approximately 14 years), placing initial registration around 2010. WHOIS privacy is not enabled, and the registrar is Amazon Registrar, Inc. Company claims operations since 1992, predating the domain registration — consistent with a business that established web presence later.

Web Reputation

Zero detections across our antivirus network (0/92 engines). Clean browser blocklists. Business registration confirmed active in United Arab Emirates. LinkedIn company profile, BNI membership, and RocketReach listing all show consistent business details, service descriptions, and operational history. No scam mentions, complaints, or negative reviews found in targeted searches.

Risk Factors
3
  • No postal address displayed on the website, only a PO Box reference in business registration records.
  • Global traffic index shows the site is not ranked in top-site databases, suggesting limited web visibility — typical for a regional B2B service provider.
  • SSL certificate expires in 43 days; renewal should be monitored to ensure continuity.
Positive Signals
5
  • Domain registered 14 years ago with consistent business operation history since 1992.
  • Business registration confirmed active in UAE with verified PO Box and contact details.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on apgmena.com and not a lookalike like a-pgmena.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

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 found no threat indicators on apgmena.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • apgmena.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 85/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. apgmena.com presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 43 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • apgmena.com is 14.0 years old, registered on 6/3/2012 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report apgmena.com as clean.
  • No. apgmena.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • apgmena.com resolves to an IP operated by Virtual Private Hosting Service in SG (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.
  • We cache results for 24 hours. Signed-in MalwareTips members can trigger a manual rescan at any time using the "Rescan" button on the report page, which re-runs every check from scratch and refreshes this page.
