Is thefarmingtimes.com a scam?

Our automated security review marked thefarmingtimes.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.

Is thefarmingtimes.com safe to use?

thefarmingtimes.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does thefarmingtimes.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. thefarmingtimes.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 56 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the thefarmingtimes.com domain?

thefarmingtimes.com is 5 months old, registered on 1/23/2026 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has thefarmingtimes.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report thefarmingtimes.com as clean.

Is thefarmingtimes.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. thefarmingtimes.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is thefarmingtimes.com hosted?

thefarmingtimes.com resolves to an IP operated by Internap Holding LLC in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.

How often is the thefarmingtimes.com report updated?

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 thefarmingtimes.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

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 157 days ago, yet the footer claims a copyright date of 2021, which is a common indicator of a templated or deceptive site. Our analysis found no official business registration, physical address, or direct contact email for the site operators. The content heavily promotes specific nurseries and fertilizer brands in India, functioning more as a marketing tool than an independent news outlet. There are currently no third-party reviews or reputation signals to confirm the legitimacy of the services it recommends. The use of pseudonymous authors further reduces the transparency of the platform.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site serves as a niche directory and blog for the farming community in Kerala, India. It features articles on crop cultivation, such as jackfruit and coconut, alongside promotional listings for local nurseries and fertilizer suppliers. However, the site lacks essential transparency elements like an 'About Us' page or a privacy policy.

Infrastructure

The technical setup is relatively standard, utilizing a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and hosting on a known IP range with no history of abuse. It loads several external resources related to social media and web fonts, indicating a functional WordPress-based architecture rather than a parked page.

Domain History

Registered in early 2026 via GoDaddy, the domain is less than six months old. The discrepancy between the 2026 article dates and the 2021 copyright notice suggests the site may be using a recycled or pre-configured template designed to appear more established than it actually is.

Web Reputation

The site has no presence on major traffic indices or independent review aggregators. While no malicious activity or phishing patterns were detected by our antivirus partners, the complete absence of a digital footprint for a site claiming to be a 'Green Revolution' is a significant red flag.

Risk Factors

Domain is less than six months old, registered in early 2026.
Copyright date (2021) contradicts the actual domain registration and article dates.
No physical address, phone number, or corporate email provided for the site owners.
No verifiable business registration or licensing found in Indian corporate databases.
Heavy promotion of specific commercial entities without disclosure of affiliation.
Zero presence on independent review platforms or social trust sites.

Positive Signals

Clean scan results from 92 antivirus engines.
Valid SSL certificate is currently active.
No reports of malware or phishing detected in our sandbox.

AI Recommendation

Treat the information and commercial listings on this site as unverified. If you intend to purchase from the nurseries or suppliers mentioned, verify their physical locations and reputations independently before sending any payment.

Key findings

7 headline facts from open-web research

Domain is approximately 157 days old (registered around early 2026), matching the very recent publication dates visible on articles (May–June 2026).
Site presents as an agriculture news, guidance, and directory platform focused on Indian (primarily Kerala) farming: crop tips, fertilizers, nurseries, success stories, and product listings.
Heavy promotional content for specific Kerala businesses (e.g., Southern Fertilizers & Chemicals / Royal Meal organic fertilizer, Rayirath Gardens nursery, Abtec Ltd., various Thrissur/Kottayam suppliers) with contact phones and locations.
No visible About Us, contact address, imprint, privacy policy, or company registration details on the homepage or directory pages.
Copyright notice reads "2021 – All Rights Reserved" despite all visible content and dates being from 2026, creating a timeline inconsistency.
Authors include pseudonymous or low-profile names such as "Ava Amelia" (author URL slug nazrinpn123); no independent verification or external reputation found.
No reviews, complaints, scam reports, or mentions on Trustpilot, ScamAdviser, Reddit, or review sites; complete absence of third-party discussion.

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 thefarmingtimes.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 appears to be an original agriculture blog focused on Kerala, India, but it lacks any formal business registration or owner transparency.

Final Verdict·thefarmingtimes.com

The Farming Times is a recently registered agriculture blog and directory focused on the Kerala region. While it provides farming advice, the lack of verifiable ownership and contradictory dates suggest it may be a low-quality promotional front. Exercise caution before contacting the listed suppliers.
