Confidence
The domain belongs to a real Florida business incorporated in 2011 with an active, current Certified Plumbing Contractor license (CFC1428530) issued to Elmer Russell Edmonson. Our scan found no malware, no phishing indicators, and a valid SSL certificate. The business maintains consistent contact information across multiple platforms, operates from documented physical locations in Lehigh Acres and Fort Myers, and is listed in local directories. Review aggregators show a 4.8/5 star rating from 465+ customer reviews on Google, Yelp, and the company website, with the vast majority praising timely service, professional technicians, and fair pricing. One negative review on Trustindex alleges poor service and billing disputes, which is typical for service businesses and does not indicate a scam operation. The company has active social media presence and no widespread scam reports in public databases.

Risk Factors
2
  • One documented negative review on Trustindex accuses the company of poor service and billing disputes, though this is typical for service businesses and does not indicate systematic fraud.
  • Email contact uses a third-party domain (info@servicedps.com) rather than the site's own domain, which is slightly unusual but not uncommon for small service businesses using shared email providers.

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 dpservicesfl.com and not a lookalike like d-pservicesfl.com.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 about this site, 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 dpservicesfl.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • dpservicesfl.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 86/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. dpservicesfl.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 31 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • dpservicesfl.com is 3.1 years old, registered on 5/11/2023 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report dpservicesfl.com as clean.
  • No. dpservicesfl.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • dpservicesfl.com resolves to an IP operated by Liquid Web, L.L.C in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 16, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around dpservicesfl.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
