Confidence

The page presents itself as the website of Iranian Sanden Industries, a documented joint-venture company with Sanden Japan that has been operating since 2000. Our antivirus network returned eight malicious detections, including explicit phishing flags from CyRadar and Fortinet. Web research shows the same domain hosted Canada Revenue Agency phishing pages in February 2021 according to phishstats.info records. No current scam complaints or negative business reviews appear against the company itself. The combination of historical phishing use and active detections makes the domain risky even though the landing page itself shows no obvious scam elements today.
