Confidence
This domain has been active for over 15 years, which is a strong indicator of a stable business. Our analysis confirms the company is a registered US entity (AGS Associates, LLC) that has operated for more than two decades. We found over 1,700 verified customer reviews with a 4.9-star average, praising their shipping speed and technical support. The site clearly disclaims its status as an independent distributor rather than an authorized dealer, which is a transparent business practice. All technical signals, including clean antivirus scans and valid SSL, support its legitimacy.

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 mroelectric.com and not a lookalike like m-roelectric.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 mroelectric.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • mroelectric.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 91/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. mroelectric.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, expiring in 75 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • mroelectric.com is 15.7 years old, registered on 10/25/2010 through eNom, LLC. 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 mroelectric.com as clean.
  • No. mroelectric.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • mroelectric.com resolves to an IP operated by Amazon Data Services Northern Virginia in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 24, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around mroelectric.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
