Is thefishpond.org a scam?

Our automated security review flags thefishpond.org as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

Is thefishpond.org safe to use?

No — thefishpond.org scored 25/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.

Does thefishpond.org have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. thefishpond.org presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, expiring in 81 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has thefishpond.org been flagged by antivirus engines?

1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged thefishpond.org as malicious or suspicious. Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is thefishpond.org on any phishing or malware blacklists?

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

Where is thefishpond.org hosted?

thefishpond.org resolves to an IP operated by K Media Tech Ltd. 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 thefishpond.org report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 7, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around thefishpond.org 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 page shows a login form and the contact analysis flagged phishing language, which normally raises concern. However the domain thefishpond.org was registered in 2007 and the content directly references Blandon Lobster Club Inc, a real 501(c)(7) organization with active IRS filings and public financials. No scam reports, complaints, or negative mentions appear in our research. The hosting IP carries a zero abuse score and the SSL certificate is valid. These concrete legitimacy signals outweigh the isolated phishing-language flag.
