Confidence
The domain has been active for nearly ten years, which is a strong indicator of a stable business rather than a temporary scam. We verified that the firm's principal, Kenny Dat Duong, is an active member of the California State Bar with no disciplinary history. The physical office address in Orange, California, matches official legal filings and business registrations. While the site mentions Wells Fargo, it does so in the context of a team member's professional resume rather than attempting to impersonate the bank. Our security engines found no malicious code or phishing patterns across the entire site.

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 duongbusinessconsulting.com and not a lookalike like d-uongbusinessconsulting.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 duongbusinessconsulting.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • duongbusinessconsulting.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 85/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. duongbusinessconsulting.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 55 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • duongbusinessconsulting.com is 9.9 years old, registered on 8/4/2016 through Bluehost Inc.. 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 duongbusinessconsulting.com as clean.
  • No. duongbusinessconsulting.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • duongbusinessconsulting.com resolves to an IP operated by Unified Layer in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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 20, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around duongbusinessconsulting.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
