Is mysites.guru legit or a scam?
A highly-rated, long-running security and management dashboard for WordPress and Joomla sites with nearly eight years of clean domain history.
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.

Free-trial billing red flags
A highly-rated, long-running security and management dashboard for WordPress and Joomla sites with nearly eight years of clean domain history. A free trial paired with auto-renew fine print is a negative-option billing pattern. Read the terms carefully before giving a card.

MT Intelligence
The domain has been active for over seven years and is tied to a UK business entity, Blue Flame Digital Solutions Limited, which has been incorporated since 2003. Our analysis shows zero flags from over 90 antivirus engines and no reports of abuse on the hosting IP. The service is well-regarded in the industry, with positive reviews from independent developer sites and a high rating on review aggregators. While our automated fingerprinting flagged potential subscription patterns, these are standard for a legitimate SaaS billing model rather than a deceptive trap. The presence of a real owner, Phil Taylor, who is active in the Joomla community, further confirms the site's legitimacy.

Suspicious free-trial offer
This page combines a "free trial" or "$1 trial" pitch with auto-renew / rebill language — a classic negative-option billing trap.
- Treat mysites.guru as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Your card will be charged the full price after the trial
Most subscription traps bill the full amount ($49-$149) 14 days after sign-up, and every month thereafter. "Cancel anytime" often means you must call a foreign support line that's deliberately hard to reach.
- If you already signed up — call your bank today
Ask your bank to block future charges from the merchant and dispute any charges already made. Many banks will issue a new card number to prevent recurring billing. Save the confirmation email as evidence.
- OpenReport the billing scheme
Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or your national consumer-protection body — subscription traps are specifically illegal in most jurisdictions when the auto-bill terms aren't clearly disclosed.
