Is postal.oajp.org legit or a scam?
A predatory academic landing page flagged by BitDefender and ESET for phishing and linked to a publisher on the Beall's List of deceptive journals.
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.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis identifies this site as part of a predatory publishing network. BitDefender, G-Data, and ESET have flagged the domain for phishing and suspicious behavior. The publisher, SciRes Literature, is documented on academic watchlists for deceptive practices, including misleading impact factor claims. While the domain is over a year old, it lacks transparent contact information and uses a virtual office address in Wyoming often associated with mass-registered entities. The site's primary function is to harvest manuscripts and personal data from researchers under the guise of legitimate peer review.
