Is religious.com legit or a scam?
Old domain flagged for phishing with multiple reports linking its email addresses to job scams.
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 itself shows almost no content and lacks any business contact details. Fortinet and ADMINUSLabs both flagged the domain as phishing or malicious. Two separate scam discussions on Reddit and Facebook specifically call out @religious.com addresses used in job-related fraud. The domain itself dates back to 1996 with valid registration, yet IPQS notes elevated abusive account activity. These signals together outweigh the clean IP reputation and valid SSL certificate.
