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.

Confidence
The domain was registered only 25 days ago, which is a significant red flag for a company claiming to be a 'leading' industry provider. Webroot has already flagged the site as malicious, and the hosting IP shows a history of abuse reports. Although the site claims to be a registered New York business, we found no independent legal registration to support this. Furthermore, the page lacks a visible phone number, email, or physical address in its main content, which is highly unusual for a legitimate service provider.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The storefront presents a professional appearance for 'Smart Scale Estimators,' offering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing takeoffs. However, the site is missing critical transparency elements; there are no functional contact details like a phone number or email address listed in the body text, despite 'Call Now' buttons being present.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on an IP address (2.57.91.91) with a moderate abuse score and 20 previous reports of suspicious activity. It uses a standard Google Trust Services SSL certificate, but the lack of global traffic indexing suggests the site has no established digital footprint.

Domain History

Registered through Hostinger on January 20, 2025, the domain is less than a month old. This extremely short history contradicts the site's claims of being an industry leader with a large portfolio of completed projects.

Web Reputation

One security engine, Webroot, currently flags the domain as malicious. There is a high degree of similarity to another domain (ssestimator.com), which may indicate a network of similar sites being stood up simultaneously.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for ssestimators.com and didn't find scam reports or complaints. For a new or low-traffic site this is expected and is not by itself a sign of trust. The site claims a physical presence in New York, but this could not be verified through official business registries.

  • Treat ssestimators.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  • Share your experience

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review marked ssestimators.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • ssestimators.com currently scores 33/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. ssestimators.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR1, expiring in 64 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • ssestimators.com is 25 days old, registered on 6/3/2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged ssestimators.com as malicious or suspicious (1 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. ssestimators.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • ssestimators.com resolves to an IP operated by Hostinger International Limited in CY (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 29, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around ssestimators.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
