Brand impersonation — not the real site
6 of 91 antivirus engines flag this page as malicious. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is elsowedy.com legit or a scam?
11-day-old typosquatting clone of legitimate Elsewedy Electric site, flagged malicious by alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, and Seclookup.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site mimics the real Elsewedy Electric corporate page with identical title, description, and content about energy projects. It's a clear clone and typosquat of elsewedyelectric.com, the official Egyptian company's domain since 1938. Six antivirus engines detect it as malicious or phishing, and independent scam checkers like Gridinsoft and Scam Detector label it risky due to low trust. The domain's extreme newness with no business registration adds to the red flags, confirming it's not legitimate.
