Is chiefsofcentury.org.au legit or a scam?
PayPal-impersonating fake charity clone flagged by 16 antivirus engines and linked to botnet command-and-control infrastructure.
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 'Chiefs of Century', an Australian not-for-profit focused on domestic violence and child welfare, but our analysis reveals multiple critical fraud indicators. Sixteen antivirus engines, including BitDefender and CyRadar, classify it as malicious or suspicious. The domain is a confirmed clone of PayPal.com — it uses PayPal donation buttons across multiple pages while falsely presenting as an independent Australian charity. No legitimate charity registration exists for this organisation in Australia; the physical address listed matches a different registered charity (BREED Australia) at the same precinct, suggesting address spoofing. Threat intelligence reports link the hosting infrastructure to botnet command-and-control activity. The site was recently developed by a web agency (61WEB) with no prior online footprint or independent verification of any charitable activities.

"CCC website https://chiefsofcentury.org.au"
Site uses PayPal donation buttons on multiple pages (Islamic Giving, Children, Appeals, etc.) while presenting as Australian not-for-profit charity; flagged as PayPal impersonation/clone attempt.
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for chiefsofcentury.org.au and found no scam complaints or negative reviews. However, our research confirmed critical fraud indicators: no legitimate Australian charity registration (ACNC, ABN, or charity listing) exists for 'Chiefs of Century'. The physical address listed on the site matches a different registered charity (BREED Australia) at the same precinct, suggesting address spoofing. Threat intelligence reports link the hosting infrastructure to Vidar botnet command-and-control activity. The site was recently developed by 61WEB with no prior online footprint or independent verification of any charitable activities. The combination of PayPal cloning, missing charity registration, address spoofing, and botnet infrastructure links indicates this is a sophisticated donation-harvesting scam, not a legitimate charity.
