01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
Our analysis identified 16 different antivirus engines, including BitDefender and CyRadar, that explicitly flag this domain as a phishing threat. The site claims to offer professional certification support with a suspicious 99% success rate, a common tactic used to lure victims. Despite offering paid services, the page provides no physical address, no phone number, and no official email contact. The domain is only 164 days old and lacks any significant global traffic, which is highly unusual for a legitimate international training provider. These factors combined indicate the site is designed to harvest personal data and payment information under the guise of professional education.
Page Content
The storefront presents itself as a PMP (Project Management Professional) exam preparation service in Arabic. It uses high-pressure marketing language, such as 'guaranteed 99% success,' to encourage immediate sign-ups. While it features a login form and social media links, it fails to provide any transparency regarding the instructors or the legal entity behind the service.Infrastructure
The site is hosted on an IP address with a history of abuse reports. It utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides encryption but does not verify the identity of the business. The presence of a login form on a domain flagged by multiple security vendors suggests a high risk of credential harvesting.Domain History
Registered 164 days ago through Name.com, the domain is relatively new. It has no established reputation in the global traffic index. The lack of historical data and the use of a generic '.training' TLD are common traits among short-lived phishing operations.Web Reputation
The reputation is severely compromised by the consensus among our antivirus partners. With 16 engines flagging the site as malicious or phishing, it is clear that the domain has been identified in active threat feeds. There is no evidence of legitimate business registration or positive third-party reviews to counter these findings.Why the score is 21
Saved antivirus evidence is adverse but no longer fresh. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Safety FAQ
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.
Is pmps.training a scam or a legit website?
pmps.training looks like a likely scam site — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for phishing and data harvester. 17 of 92 security engines flag it (16 as outright malicious). The domain is only 5 months old through Name.com, Inc. — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is pmps.training safe to use?
pmps.training has a Safety Score of 21/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 71%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
What should I do if I already gave my details to pmps.training?
If you've already paid or handed over details on pmps.training, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on pmps.training and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from pmps.training?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Is my device at risk after visiting pmps.training?
Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
How do I report pmps.training?
You can report pmps.training through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does pmps.training look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has pmps.training been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 17 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged pmps.training, 16 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is pmps.training on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — pmps.training is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the pmps.training domain?
pmps.training is 5 months old, registered on January 7, 2026 through Name.com, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Does pmps.training have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — pmps.training presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, valid for another 48 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
How often is the pmps.training report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on June 21, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about pmps.training has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
