Is qm-equpment.com legit or a scam?
7-day-old typosquat clone of legitimate QM Equipment S.A., using deliberate misspelling to impersonate the real Argentine oil & gas equipment manufacturer.
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
The domain qm-equpment.com is a textbook typosquat — it replaces the 'i' in 'equipment' with a 'u', creating a plausible misspelling that targets users searching for or typing the legitimate company name. The page content is an exact copy of QM Equipment S.A.'s website, including the Spanish title 'QM | Soluciones industriales' and identical product descriptions. The legitimate company, founded in 2004 in Argentina, has verifiable government registration, 13,000+ LinkedIn followers, export records, and partnerships with major industrial firms. This clone domain, registered only 7 days ago, has zero legitimate business presence, no contact email, and carries multiple network-level red flags flagging it as a clone and typosquat. The pattern is designed to intercept traffic intended for the real business — either through typos, search-engine poisoning, or direct impersonation in phishing campaigns.
