Our scan found no malware, no phishing indicators, and no abuse reports on the hosting infrastructure. The domain is 5,322 days old (registered around 2011–2012), consistent with a long-standing business. Business-registration records confirm Born Aviation Products, Inc. was incorporated in Indiana on November 14, 1996, with a physical address in Indianapolis and an active BBB profile. The page content matches a legitimate wholesale operation: it explicitly states the company sells only to retail outlets, offers a catalog-request form, and lists product categories (aviation and rail gifts). Our web research found no scam reports, fraud complaints, or negative reviews across multiple sources. The company maintains active social media (Facebook, YouTube) and products appear on established retailer platforms.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a B2B wholesale storefront for aviation and rail-related gift items (toys, apparel, mugs, signs, custom merchandise). The homepage clearly states "We do not sell to the general public" and directs retail outlets to request a catalog or log in. Navigation includes product categories, a custom-catalog section, and contact information. No login-wall, countdown timer, or pressure tactics are present.

Infrastructure

The domain uses valid SSL (DigiCert RapidSSL, 86 days to expiry), hosted on IP 170.249.236.163 with zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. All 92 antivirus engines passed the scan. External resources loaded are standard (jQuery, Adobe InDesign, Facebook, Nitro CDN) with no malicious redirects or homoglyph tricks.

Domain History

Registered 5,322 days ago (approximately 2011–2012), consistent with a 40+ year family business. WHOIS shows non-privacy-protected registration through Register.com / Network Solutions. The age and registration details align with the company's stated history of over 40 years in operation.

Web Reputation

Business registration confirms Born Aviation Products, Inc. incorporated November 14, 1996 in Indiana; BBB profile shows A+ rating (not accredited); physical address 6790 Hawthorn Park Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46220; President David Born. No scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews found. Company maintains active social media and products are listed on established retailer platforms (Etsy, eBay, Hammond Aviation).

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, business registries, and general web sources for bornproducts.com and found no scam reports, fraud complaints, or negative reviews. Business registration records confirm the company is an active Indiana corporation (incorporated 1996) with a physical address, BBB profile (A+ rating), and active social media. Products are listed on established retailer platforms. For a B2B wholesale operation targeting only retail outlets, the absence of consumer reviews and low traffic ranking are expected and consistent with legitimate business-to-business operations.

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 bornproducts.com and not a lookalike like b-ornproducts.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 bornproducts.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • bornproducts.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. bornproducts.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · RapidSSL TLS RSA CA G1, expiring in 86 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • bornproducts.com is 14.6 years old, registered on 11/19/2011 through Register.com - Network Solutions, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. bornproducts.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • bornproducts.com resolves to an IP operated by PrivateSystems Networks GA in US (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 16, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around bornproducts.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
