Verdict

Low-traffic radio site with invalid SSL and no business footprint raises moderate trust concerns.

The site presents as a small community radio station but carries several red flags. It uses an invalid SSL certificate, has no verifiable business registration, and the domain is not indexed by major search engines. Avoid entering personal details or making payments until the operator provides clearer legitimacy signals.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The captured page shows a simple radio-station layout with navigation, a listen-live section, and a privacy policy that names Smarter Websites UK as the operator. No antivirus engines or browser blocklists flag the URL, and the visual scan found no urgency tactics or fake forms. However, the SSL certificate is invalid with zero days to expiry, the domain has no WHOIS record available, and it carries no traffic ranking. The privacy policy itself is a generic template that applies to all Smarter Websites projects rather than a specific radio entity. These gaps leave the site in a grey zone where it could be legitimate but unverified or a placeholder for future misuse.

Page Content

The homepage displays standard radio-station elements: navigation links, a listen-live button, schedule, team, and contact sections. The body text references Facebook groups and T-shirt sales but provides no physical address or direct email. The privacy policy page is a boilerplate GDPR notice that identifies the site as "a Smarter Website" rather than an independent station.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on IP 217.194.210.100, which shows a clean abuse score of 0/100. However, the SSL certificate is invalid and issued by "None," indicating either misconfiguration or deliberate omission. External resources load from fonts.googleapis.com, paypal.com, facebook.com, and smarterwebsites.uk, suggesting the site was built with a UK-based web-design service.

Domain History

No WHOIS record is available, so the exact registration date cannot be confirmed. The domain does not appear in global traffic indexes, implying it is either very new or receives negligible visitors.

Web Reputation

No scam reports, complaints, or positive reviews were located for radio-free-marseille.online. Independent review aggregators returned no data. The absence of both negative and positive signals is typical for low-traffic or newly created domains.

What this means for you

The site does not currently exhibit malicious behavior, but the combination of an invalid certificate, missing business registration, and zero external validation means visitors should treat any requests for personal or payment information with caution.

Why the score is 54

The legacy verdict is adverse but its decisive evidence is incomplete. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

08 · 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 radio-free-marseille.online a scam or a legit website?
radio-free-marseille.online shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. 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 radio-free-marseille.online safe to use?
radio-free-marseille.online has a Safety Score of 54/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 63%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
What should I do if I already gave my details to radio-free-marseille.online?
If you've already paid or handed over details on radio-free-marseille.online, 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 radio-free-marseille.online 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 radio-free-marseille.online?
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 radio-free-marseille.online?
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 radio-free-marseille.online?
You can report radio-free-marseille.online 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 radio-free-marseille.online 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.
Is radio-free-marseille.online on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — radio-free-marseille.online 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.
Does radio-free-marseille.online have a valid SSL certificate?
No — radio-free-marseille.online has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is radio-free-marseille.online hosted?
radio-free-marseille.online resolves to an IP operated by LONDON SHARED SERVERS in GB (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the radio-free-marseille.online report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 26, 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 radio-free-marseille.online has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
