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.

The domain was registered 0 days ago and currently displays a Vercel 404 error, meaning the content has been removed or was never properly deployed. While the name suggests a 'scanner' tool, our research shows that similar subdomains on this specific IP address have been flagged for phishing activity. Using free hosting services like Vercel allows attackers to create and delete malicious pages quickly to evade detection. The lack of any business registration or ownership information further decreases trust. Given the zero-day age and the 404 status, this is likely a discarded or blocked phishing link.
