Is epfoin.com a scam?

Our automated security review marked epfoin.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is epfoin.com safe to use?

epfoin.com currently scores 51/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does epfoin.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. epfoin.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E7, expiring in 53 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the epfoin.com domain?

epfoin.com is 1 month old, registered on 5/10/2026 through Realtime Register B.V.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has epfoin.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 91 antivirus engines in our malware network report epfoin.com as clean.

Is epfoin.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. epfoin.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is epfoin.com hosted?

epfoin.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. 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.

How often is the epfoin.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 15, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around epfoin.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The domain was registered only 36 days ago and presents itself as a private educational guide to EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation) services in India. While the site includes clear disclaimers stating it is not affiliated with the official EPFO and links to legitimate government portals, several factors raise caution. The operator claims named individuals (Rajesh Kumar Sharma, Dr. Ananya Sen) but provides no verifiable business registration, company number, or official credentials. The site lists 10 phone numbers but no email address or postal address, which is unusual for a legitimate business. Our search found no scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews, and the site does not appear to request login credentials or financial information directly. However, the combination of recent registration, lack of business verification, missing standard contact information, and the scanner's detection of an "Investment Scheme" pattern creates moderate concern. For a new informational site, the absence of negative reports is expected and does not confirm legitimacy.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents itself as a private educational portal offering guides, calculators, and step-by-step instructions for accessing official EPFO services (PF balance checks, UAN activation, passbook downloads, claim tracking, KYC updates). It includes content in English and Hindi, regional office directories, and visitor tips. The homepage and multiple pages carry a prominent disclaimer: "EPFOin.com is a private educational portal. We are NOT affiliated with the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) India." The site links directly to official EPFO URLs (epfindia.gov.in, passbook.epfindia.gov.in, unifiedportal-epfo.epfindia.gov.in) and does not include login forms or requests for sensitive credentials.

Infrastructure

Domain registered 36 days ago via Realtime Register B.V. with privacy protection disabled. SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt, 53 days to expiry). Hosting IP 172.67.175.219 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. No malware or phishing flags from our antivirus network or browser blocklists. The page loads external resources from Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and official EPFO domains.

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for epfoin.com and did not find scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews. Business registration searches in Indian company databases returned no match for the named operators or any associated entity. For a newly-registered informational site, the absence of negative reports is expected and is not by itself a sign of trust. The site's repeated disclaimers and links to official EPFO portals are consistent with a legitimate educational resource, but the lack of verifiable business registration and the recent domain age warrant caution.
