Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on selbusinesslanguages.co.uk and not a lookalike like s-elbusinesslanguages.co.uk.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

- selbusinesslanguages.co.uk is 13.1 years old, registered on 4/12/2013 through Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited t/a Team Blue Internet Services Limited t/a LCN. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
