Investigation Brief

chre-uk.com presents itself as the Centre for Health Research and Education, located at the University of Southampton Science Park. The site offers a sign-up form for the Smoke-Free UK Project and lists a contact email. No evidence of deceptive commercial flows, credential harvesting, or malware distribution was found.

Site identity and legitimacy signals

The homepage displays the organisation name, a physical address at the University of Southampton Science Park, and a mission statement about bridging policy and practice in public health.

The registrable domain is 2,889 days old and the hosting IP shows an abuse confidence score of 0/100, consistent with a long-standing, low-risk site.

Observed commercial CTA and terms

A sign-up form for the Smoke-Free UK Project requests basic contact details and country selection; the form is presented as a voluntary registration to receive project information.

The Terms & Conditions reference an End User Licence (EUL) and a clause requiring users to meet any applicable charges, which is atypical for a purely informational site but does not indicate active monetisation or a subscription trap.

Why the score is 82

The score combines saved deterministic evidence with the grounded analysis available for this report. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is chre-uk.com a scam or is it safe?
chre-uk.com has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is chre-uk.com safe to use?
chre-uk.com has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has chre-uk.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 66 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report chre-uk.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is chre-uk.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — chre-uk.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the chre-uk.com domain?
chre-uk.com is 7.9 years old, registered on October 11, 2018 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does chre-uk.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — chre-uk.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 31 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is chre-uk.com hosted?
chre-uk.com resolves to an IP operated by IPFFM Internet Provider Frankfurt GmbH in GB (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the chre-uk.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 9, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about chre-uk.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
