Fake forex and crypto trading site with 11 malicious detections, urgency countdowns, and false regulatory claims.
Score breakdown
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
Website Preview
Automated page render — captured in a safe sandbox. What an ordinary visitor would see when loading the site.
Intelligence
Eleven of 92 antivirus engines flagged the site, with BitDefender, CyRadar, and alphaMountain.ai specifically marking it as phishing. The domain is 2.3 years old, yet the page shows multiple scam-family triggers including phishing patterns and countdown urgency. The operator claims FSCA regulation under license 50202, but the contact section lacks any phone number and loads external domains including unvacationportal.org. The page pushes account verification with ID scans while displaying a countdown timer to create pressure. These signals together indicate a credential-harvesting investment scam rather than a legitimate broker.
