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
Social Growth Co LLC is registered in Colorado and operated by Zac Baker, with an active business status and a 1304-day-old domain. However, independent review aggregators assigned the parent domain a low trust score of 36.3/100, and scam-report databases flagged it as spam in connection with marketing practices. The app subdomain itself is a bare login portal with no business contact details, privacy policy, or terms of service visible — a pattern common to both legitimate SaaS dashboards and credential-harvesting pages. The company's an independent review aggregator page (social-growth.co) shows mixed reviews with account-access complaints. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no malicious detections, and the SSL certificate is valid. The low trust score and spam history, combined with the minimal transparency on the login page, warrant caution.

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 marked app.socialgrowthco.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • app.socialgrowthco.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. app.socialgrowthco.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR3, expiring in 53 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • app.socialgrowthco.com is 3.6 years old, registered on 11/14/2022 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. app.socialgrowthco.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • app.socialgrowthco.com resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC 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 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around app.socialgrowthco.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
