Confidence
The domain belongs to an established consulting business operating in Italy since at least 2020. Our business-registration lookup confirmed Bonsai Food & Beverage Consulting (also trading as Bonsai Marketing & Consulting) is active in Calenzano, Tuscany, with a street address, phone number, and email that appear consistently across Italian business directories, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The 1,480-day domain age and valid SSL certificate support operational legitimacy. One antivirus engine flagged the domain, but this appears to be a false positive — our sandbox found no malicious content, the hosting IP has zero abuse reports, and browser blocklists remain clean. Web searches uncovered no scam reports, complaints, or fraud mentions in any language. The PayPal brand reference detected by our scanner does not correspond to any actual PayPal impersonation or payment-processing functionality on the site.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a professional consulting business website for Bonsai Food & Beverage Consulting, a firm providing web marketing, social media management, and hospitality-sector consulting services. The page title and meta information align with the registered business name and location (Calenzano, Tuscany). No login forms, payment checkout flows, or credential-harvest patterns are present.

Infrastructure

Domain registered 1,480 days ago via Name.com, Inc., with valid Let's Encrypt SSL (87 days to expiry). Hosting IP 51.195.31.72 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. External resources loaded (iubenda.com for cookie/privacy compliance, hcaptcha.com for bot protection) are standard third-party services used by legitimate websites.

Domain History

The domain has been active for approximately 4 years, consistent with a stable small-to-medium business operation. WHOIS privacy is disabled, allowing verification of registration details. No redirect chains or homoglyph indicators suggest domain hijacking or phishing infrastructure.

Web Reputation

Zero scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews found across web searches, Italian business directories, and consumer-review aggregators. The business appears in multiple legitimate sources: Infobel, ReteImprese, Facebook, LinkedIn, and a 2024 HORECA (hospitality) trade-fair directory. Contact details (phone +39 333 764 2706, email info@bonsai-firenze.com, address Via Baldanzese 35, 50041 Calenzano) are consistent across all platforms.

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 bonsai-firenze.com and not a lookalike like b-onsai-firenze.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 bonsai-firenze.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • bonsai-firenze.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 73/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. bonsai-firenze.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, expiring in 87 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • bonsai-firenze.com is 4.1 years old, registered on 5/23/2022 through Name.com, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 1 out of 95 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged bonsai-firenze.com as malicious or suspicious (1 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. bonsai-firenze.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • bonsai-firenze.com resolves to an IP operated by OVH GmbH in DE (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.
  • 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 bonsai-firenze.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
