Merkato Egypt is a high-risk online shop with several saved security detections
The captured site presents a product shop and shopping cart, but three independent security-detection families previously flagged the domain. The captured page also showed no direct contact email or operator postal address. Although the domain is 515 days old and current checks found a valid encrypted connection and no Safe Browsing warning, those technical positives do not resolve the adverse detections or the store's limited accountability.

- MinorThe captured page displayed neither a direct contact email nor an operator postal address.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe registrable domain is 515 days old.
- SupportsSafe Browsing returned no warning, and the TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on merkato-eg.com? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on merkato-eg.com, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
HOSTINGER operations, UAB registered this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
The captured site presents a product shop and shopping cart, but three independent security-detection families previously flagged the domain. The captured page also showed no direct contact email or operator postal address. Although the domain is 515 days old and current checks found a valid encrypted connection and no Safe Browsing warning, those technical positives do not resolve the adverse detections or the store's limited accountability.
The strongest concern is the domain's detection history
A saved security observation records adverse results from three independent detection families. The evidence is stale and should be checked for current status, but it remains a material warning against entering payment or personal information.
The reviewed page did not display a direct contact email or an operator postal address, making it harder for a buyer to identify or contact the business if a transaction goes wrong.
Current technical checks are reassuring but not decisive
The current Safe Browsing check returned no warning, and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. These results indicate no detection by that check and encrypted transport; they do not establish that the shop or its operator is trustworthy.
The domain is 515 days old, which provides some continuity, but age alone does not outweigh the adverse detection history and absent contact details.
Purchases remain on the same domain
The observed commercial path leads from the shop to a same-site shopping cart priced in Egyptian pounds. No cross-domain commercial destination appears in the supplied CTA evidence.
Why the score is 42
3 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
