Is b.scholarrelay.com legit or a scam?
Unverified award-index subdomain with no business registration, no contact details, and login-gated submission — matches patterns of data-harvesting award scams.
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.

MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as a global award repository but provides zero legitimate business markers: no company name, no physical address, no contact email or phone, and no copyright holder identified. The evidence package notes that unsolicited award nominations and indexes are frequently flagged by academic institutions as potential scams designed to harvest personal information or solicit fees. The domain appears to be a subdomain of scholarrelay.com, which itself has no public reputation data or business registration. The login requirement to submit awards is a common gatekeeping tactic in data-harvesting schemes. Clean antivirus scans and no abuse reports on the hosting IP do not offset the absence of legitimate business transparency — many early-stage scams operate cleanly from a technical standpoint.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for b.scholarrelay.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- b.scholarrelay.com appears to be a subdomain associated with Global Award Index (globalawardindex.com), which presents itself as a platform to discover, browse, and submit awards across science, technology, business, arts, and other fields.
- The site requires user login or registration (via login.php/register.php) to submit an award; no fees are explicitly mentioned on the homepage.
- No company name, physical address, contact email/phone, copyright details, or legal entity information is provided on the main pages.
- Searches for "b.scholarrelay.com", "scholarrelay.com", or "scholarrelay" returned no reviews, complaints, scam reports, Reddit discussions, or independent mentions of the domain.
- The broader category of unsolicited "award" nominations and indexes is frequently flagged in academic warnings as potential scams that request personal data or fees (e.g., Stanford University IT alert on unverified award organizations).
- globalawardindex.com has limited third-party reputation data (e.g., ScamAdviser and Gridinsoft checks exist but show no strong positive or negative consensus in available results).
- Domain age is listed as unknown; no WHOIS or business registration records surfaced in public searches.
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for b.scholarrelay.com and scholarrelay.com and found no scam reports, complaints, or independent mentions. The parent domain globalawardindex.com has minimal public reputation data. However, the broader category of unsolicited award indexes and nominations is documented by academic institutions (including Stanford University IT) as a frequent vector for personal-data harvesting and fee solicitation. The absence of scam reports for a new or low-traffic site is not by itself a sign of trust, especially when combined with zero business transparency and a login wall for submissions.
