Investigation notes

Page Content

The captured page is a simple static site titled "Colors TCG" that describes a fan-run trading card game community. It lists navigation links to decks, members, and services, and states the project opened on LiveJournal in June 2010 before moving to Dreamwidth in July 2013. No contact email, phone, or address appears anywhere on the page, and the footer notes that all images belong to their respective owners. The design follows an older static-web aesthetic typical of long-standing hobby communities.

Infrastructure

The domain resolves to IP 91.227.122.43 with an abuse score of 0/100 and no abuse reports. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt and remains valid for 71 days. A single redirect hop occurs within the same domain. External resources load from fonts.googleapis.com and the Dreamwidth communities colors-tcg.dreamwidth.org and colors-mod.dreamwidth.org, plus thetcgs.org. No malicious scripts or third-party trackers were observed.

Domain History

WHOIS data for colors-tcg.eu was unavailable. However, the evidence package states the project has operated continuously since June 2010, first on LiveJournal and later on Dreamwidth, with the .eu domain serving as the image and data host. No recent registration or ownership changes are indicated.

Web Reputation

Zero scam reports, complaints, or negative mentions were located across scam-report databases and consumer-review sites. The evidence package explicitly identifies Colors TCG as a documented hobbyist community rather than a commercial business. No business-registration records exist because the project is non-commercial. Independent GitHub repositories and third-party tools created by players further corroborate its long-standing, legitimate status.

What this means for you

The site shows none of the hallmarks of phishing, malware distribution, or financial fraud. Visitors can safely browse the deck lists and community information. As with any fan project, users should exercise normal caution when downloading external tools or sharing personal details on linked forums, but the core domain itself presents no risk.

Recommendation
The site is safe to visit for its intended hobbyist purpose. No action is required.

Technical Details

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.

Contact Verification

We fetched the page and looked for real-world contact details. Legitimate businesses almost always publish an email on their own domain, a phone number, and a postal address. Scam shops usually don't.

What to do

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on colors-tcg.eu and not a lookalike like c-olors-tcg.eu.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on colors-tcg.eu, so it appears legitimate. All 92 antivirus engines we queried report it clean, Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
  • colors-tcg.eu passed our automated checks with a trust score of 94/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged it at the time of the last scan, and its signals line up with an established, legitimate site. Treat any unexpected login prompt or payment request on it with the same caution you would anywhere.
  • Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from colors-tcg.eu), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from colors-tcg.eu is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
  • No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report colors-tcg.eu 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.
  • No — colors-tcg.eu 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.
  • Yes — colors-tcg.eu presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 71 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".
  • colors-tcg.eu resolves to an IP operated by Unix Storm - Michal Gottlieb in PL (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.
  • This report is a record of the scan run on July 24, 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 colors-tcg.eu has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
