Confidence
Our analysis confirms this is a legitimate government domain under the .gov.dm top-level domain, which is reserved for official state entities in Dominica. The site provides comprehensive information about cooperative regulations, registration forms, and historical data consistent with a public service office. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no security threats or malicious activity. While the global traffic index is low, this is typical for a specialized regional government department. The presence of official contact numbers and physical address details in Roseau further validates its authenticity.

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 cooperative.gov.dm and not a lookalike like c-ooperative.gov.dm.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.

  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 30, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.
