Unreachable address whose name imitates an SBI bank 'verify login' page, a naming pattern SBI-related guidance flags as fraudulent
This address uses the words 'sbi-bank-verify-login', with a 'secure-update' path, under a domain that does not belong to the bank. Published guidance on official SBI websites warns that fraudulent addresses put SBI words in misleading positions and lists very similar examples. The address did not resolve when we scanned it, so the site's own pages could not be reviewed. It was also served over plain HTTP. Clean malware and blocklist results do not offset the impersonation-style naming. We rate it High Risk, with moderate confidence because no page content was seen.

Why 38/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 2 findings pulled the score down; 2 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- ModerateOne public warning in public web research: "A fraudulent address may place SBI words in a misleading position, such as: - sbi-login-example.com - sbi.bank.in.fake-domain.com - secure-sbi-update.net -…"
- MinorThe address was served over plain HTTP and the connection was not validated.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsAntivirus engines and a browser safety blocklist reported no detections.
- SupportsThe registrable domain is 11399 days old (example.com, the parent domain of this subdomain host; it does not show how long the subdomain itself has existed)
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on sbi-bank-verify-login.example.com? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on sbi-bank-verify-login.example.com, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
RESERVED-Internet Assigned Numbers Authority registered this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
This address uses the words 'sbi-bank-verify-login', with a 'secure-update' path, under a domain that does not belong to the bank. Published guidance on official SBI websites warns that fraudulent addresses put SBI words in misleading positions and lists very similar examples. The address did not resolve when we scanned it, so the site's own pages could not be reviewed. It was also served over plain HTTP. Clean malware and blocklist results do not offset the impersonation-style naming. We rate it High Risk, with moderate confidence because no page content was seen.
Why the address itself is a warning sign
A published list of official SBI websites warns that fraudulent addresses place SBI words in misleading positions. Its examples include 'sbi-login-example.com', 'secure-sbi-update.net' and 'sbi-kyc-login.example'. This address follows the same pattern: 'sbi-bank-verify-login' sits on another party's domain and is paired with a 'secure-update' path.
The parent domain is old, but that age describes the parent domain only. It does not show how long this subdomain has existed or who set it up.
Clean scans, but nothing confirms a legitimate operator
Antivirus engines reported 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections. A browser safety blocklist check also returned no warning. These results mean nothing has been flagged yet; they do not mean the address is safe.
The host could not be found when we scanned it, so the site's own pages could not be reviewed. The connection was not validated, and the address was served over plain HTTP. Any login details entered on a page here would travel without encryption.
Why the score is 38
One public warning in public web research: "A fraudulent address may place SBI words in a misleading position, such as: - sbi-login-example.com - sbi.bank.in.fake-domain.com - secure-sbi-update.net -…". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
sbi-bank-verify-login.example.com is an established domain now carrying threat signals. An older domain that starts tripping security checks is a classic pattern for an asset that was sold, repurposed, or compromised — the age alone is not reassurance.
Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
