These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The site presents itself as a supplier of dried fish scales for collagen, fertilizer and cosmetics with product listings and usage information. Multiple security engines specifically label the page phishing, which is the strongest negative signal. The domain itself is old and the hosting IP shows no abuse history, yet the page lacks a postal address and uses no email address on its own domain. External scripts from several unrelated domains are loaded, adding to uncertainty. These conflicting signals keep the assessment at suspicious rather than clearly malicious or safe.
