Is ratagen.shop legit or a scam?
New Shopify store on a low-trust .shop domain with one antivirus flag and an IP carrying 106 abuse reports.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as a standard online shop offering smart-home items and cleaning tools with typical Shopify checkout options. Its strongest risk signal is the 202-day domain age combined with the .shop TLD, which often appears in low-quality stores. The hosting IP shows 106 abuse reports despite a zero abuse score, and Webroot alone marked the page malicious. No scam reports, customer complaints, or clone indicators appear in our research, and the page renders as a normal product catalog without login forms or countdown timers. These mixed signals keep the verdict at suspicious rather than outright malicious.
