Tech-support scam — do not call
Domain was registered only 25 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. Microsoft, Apple, and your ISP never call or pop up to ask for remote access or payment. Don't call any numbers shown, don't install "support" tools, and close the page — ideally by ending the browser process.
Is trysobersense.com legit or a scam?
New 25-day-old store pushing a SoberSense breathalyzer with countdown urgency and flagged by multiple scam detectors as a shopping façade.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as a legitimate product seller for a police-grade breathalyzer but uses heavy urgency language and countdown timers that match known scam patterns. Its domain was registered only 25 days ago with no business registration records, which is a strong red flag for fly-by-night operations. Gridinsoft and Scam-detector both explicitly label the site as unsettled or a façade with shopping-scam indicators. One antivirus engine marked it malicious while browser blocklists stayed clean, but the combination of age, pressure tactics, and external reports outweighs the clean signals. The page content also shows mismatched text about CO detectors, suggesting copied or low-effort material typical of fraudulent shops.

Tech-support scam — do not call

Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Do not call the number and do not install any "support" tool
Microsoft, Apple, Google, and legitimate ISPs never show a pop-up with a phone number. Installing AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or "Windows Support" at their request hands over your computer.
- Close the page — end the browser process if needed
If the page has locked your browser, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Esc (Mac) and end the browser task. Reopen your browser with "Don't restore tabs".
- OpenIf you already gave remote access or paid
Disconnect the device from the internet. Run a full scan with Malwarebytes or a reputable AV. Change your passwords from a different device. Call your bank to dispute any payment and request a new card.
