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
The domain catbirduk.com has legitimate age (5,305 days / ~14.5 years) and clean antivirus scans, which are strong positive signals. However, the associated company (CATBIRDUK LTD, 14849339) was dissolved on 8 October 2024, yet the site continues to operate and sell products. The contact email uses a subdomain (contact@catbird.webdevelopment-server.com) rather than the site's own domain, which is atypical for established retailers. The site lists a phone number and physical address, but independent review aggregators have no ratings or customer feedback for the toy sales operation. The earlier company entity (09654981) was also dissolved in 2017, suggesting a pattern of business registration churn. While no scam reports or complaints were found, the combination of post-dissolution trading, weak contact legitimacy, and absence of customer reviews creates moderate risk.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a UK merchandise and collectibles retailer, selling POPMART Labubu figures, blind boxes, Petrified Wood bracelets, and branded corporate items (t-shirts, hoodies, signage, print services). The storefront includes product categories, a shopping cart, and social media links. Body text references 'Reliable UK Print & Branded Merchandise Partner' and lists corporate design services.

Infrastructure

Valid SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt, 77 days to expiry). Hosting IP 212.48.70.112 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. The site loads external resources from legitimate CDNs (jsdelivr, Cloudflare, Google Fonts, FontAwesome) and social platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp). No malware or phishing signatures detected across our antivirus network.

Domain History

Domain registered 5,305 days ago (~14.5 years), indicating long-term ownership. However, the associated UK company CATBIRDUK LTD (14849339) was incorporated 5 May 2023 and dissolved 8 October 2024. An earlier entity with the same name (09654981) operated as a printing/design company and dissolved 7 February 2017. The site continues to operate post-dissolution without evidence of re-registration or new business entity.

Web Reputation

No scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews found on consumer-review sites or general web searches. No business ratings or customer feedback located for the toy/collectible sales operation. Social media accounts (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook) promote printing and merchandise services with contact details, but no independent aggregator ratings exist for the current e-commerce activity.

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  • Treat catbirduk.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  • Share your experience

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 catbirduk.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.
  • catbirduk.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. catbirduk.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, expiring in 77 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • catbirduk.com is 14.5 years old, registered on 12/7/2011 through 123-Reg Limited. 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 catbirduk.com as clean.
  • No. catbirduk.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • catbirduk.com resolves to an IP operated by Heart Internet Ltd in GB (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 17, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around catbirduk.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Final Verdict·catbirduk.com
SUSPICIOUS

A 14-year-old UK domain selling collectible toys and branded merchandise, but the registered business dissolved in October 2024 while the site remains active. No scam reports exist, but the post-dissolution operation and lack of legitimate contact details raise concerns about current legitimacy.

Do not enter payment details until you verify the current business registration and legitimacy. Contact the business directly using the phone number provided to confirm they are actively trading and can fulfill orders. Check for recent customer reviews on independent platforms before making a purchase.
