Is celtic-landmark.live a scam?

Our automated security review flags celtic-landmark.live as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

Is celtic-landmark.live safe to use?

No — celtic-landmark.live scored 10/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.

Does celtic-landmark.live have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. celtic-landmark.live presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 84 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the celtic-landmark.live domain?

celtic-landmark.live is 5 days old, registered on 6/23/2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Is celtic-landmark.live on any phishing or malware blacklists?

Where is celtic-landmark.live hosted?

celtic-landmark.live resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. 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.

How often is the celtic-landmark.live report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 28, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around celtic-landmark.live have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The domain was registered just five days ago, which is a major red flag for a site claiming to be an established historical landmark. Our fingerprinting technology confirmed this site is a direct clone of the legitimate edinburghcastle.scot domain. It has already been blacklisted by PhishTank and flagged as spam by Fortinet. The official Edinburgh Castle management has issued specific warnings about lookalike sites exactly like this one. There is no verifiable business registration or contact information associated with this domain.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site uses the branding, imagery, and text of Edinburgh Castle to offer 'online booking' for tours and tickets. It mimics the layout of the official site to deceive tourists into believing they are on a legitimate government-run or heritage platform.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a common CDN frequently used by short-lived scam operations to hide the true origin server. While it uses a valid SSL certificate, this only encrypts the connection to the scammers and does not prove the site's legitimacy.

Domain History

The domain celtic-landmark.live was registered on June 23, 2026, through a registrar known for high-volume, low-cost registrations. It has no historical traffic data or established reputation in our global index.

Web Reputation

Our security engines have already begun flagging the URL for malicious activity. It appears on major phishing databases and lacks any presence on independent review aggregators, which is typical for 'burn-and-churn' scam sites.

Risk Factors

Flagged as spam by Fortinet antivirus engines

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

Do not interact with celtic-landmark.live
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
Report the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
