Verdict

Legitimate-looking renewable electricity supplier with pricing and disclosure concerns

CleanChoice Energy presents itself as an electricity supplier and invites residential customers to enter a ZIP code to find a 100% clean electricity plan. The website shows no current technical threat warning, but documented concerns about consumer disclosures and reported renewal price increases make it appropriate to review the contract carefully before signing up.

The site appears safe to browse, but before enrolling, compare the quoted rate with your utility's supply rate and read all renewal, variable-rate, cancellation, and disclosure terms. Keep a copy of the offer and monitor the rate when the initial term ends.

Investigation Brief

CleanChoice Energy presents itself as an electricity supplier and invites residential customers to enter a ZIP code to find a 100% clean electricity plan. The website shows no current technical threat warning, but documented concerns about consumer disclosures and reported renewal price increases make it appropriate to review the contract carefully before signing up.

The site markets renewable electricity plans

The principal sales flow asks visitors to enter their ZIP code to find or view an electricity plan, and the page identifies the business as CleanChoice Energy, Inc.

An Illinois regulatory complaint alleges that the company marketed electricity supply without complying with important disclosures and other consumer protections. Separately, some reviewers reported significant price increases when renewing.

Clean technical checks do not resolve contract-related risk

The saved checks found a valid encrypted connection, no threat warning, and no malicious or suspicious detections across 92 engines. These findings support technical safety for browsing but do not assess electricity pricing, renewal terms, or marketing disclosures.

The domain has also existed for more than 7,400 days, which is a useful sign of continuity but does not negate the documented consumer concerns.

Why the score is 78

An Illinois regulatory complaint alleges failures involving disclosures and consumer protections in the marketing of electricity supply. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

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 cleanchoiceenergy.com a scam or is it safe?
cleanchoiceenergy.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (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 cleanchoiceenergy.com safe to use?
cleanchoiceenergy.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has cleanchoiceenergy.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report cleanchoiceenergy.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 cleanchoiceenergy.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — cleanchoiceenergy.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 cleanchoiceenergy.com domain?
cleanchoiceenergy.com is 20.4 years old, registered on May 11, 2006 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. 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 cleanchoiceenergy.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — cleanchoiceenergy.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04, valid for another 89 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 cleanchoiceenergy.com hosted?
cleanchoiceenergy.com resolves to an IP operated by Amazon.com, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). 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 cleanchoiceenergy.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 1, 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 cleanchoiceenergy.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
