Look-alike University of Greenwich visitor-permit portal hosted on a throwaway Google Cloud Run subdomain, with its own page warning users not to enter their university password.
This page presents itself as the University of Greenwich 'Visitor Parking Permits' service, showing the university's logo and heading, but it is served from a generic Google Cloud Run address (university-of-greenwich-255521831700.europe-west2.run.app) rather than the university's own gre.ac.uk domain. It offers a registration form and a login form that collect an email address and password. The page itself carries a note telling visitors not to register with their UoG password because the site is hosted externally. That combination — a real university's branding on an unrelated cloud subdomain, credential-collecting forms, and the operator's own admission that it is not the official system — is the classic shape of a credential-harvesting look-alike. Technical checks were clean (no Safe Browsing warning, valid TLS, zero antivirus detections), but those only show the page is not currently flagged; they do not make an impersonation portal safe. The score reflects a high-risk impersonation site rather than a confirmed mass-breach campaign, because the destination of submitted data was not observed.

Lost money or shared details on university-of-greenwich-255521831700.europe-west2.run.app? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on university-of-greenwich-255521831700.europe-west2.run.app, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
The registrar is the company that sold this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
This page presents itself as the University of Greenwich 'Visitor Parking Permits' service, showing the university's logo and heading, but it is served from a generic Google Cloud Run address (university-of-greenwich-255521831700.europe-west2.run.app) rather than the university's own gre.ac.uk domain. It offers a registration form and a login form that collect an email address and password. The page itself carries a note telling visitors not to register with their UoG password because the site is hosted externally. That combination — a real university's branding on an unrelated cloud subdomain, credential-collecting forms, and the operator's own admission that it is not the official system — is the classic shape of a credential-harvesting look-alike. Technical checks were clean (no Safe Browsing warning, valid TLS, zero antivirus detections), but those only show the page is not currently flagged; they do not make an impersonation portal safe. The score reflects a high-risk impersonation site rather than a confirmed mass-breach campaign, because the destination of submitted data was not observed.
University branding on a non-university address, with forms that ask for a password
The page displays the University of Greenwich logo and a 'Visitor Parking Permits' heading, but the address in the browser is a generic Google Cloud Run subdomain, not the university's gre.ac.uk domain. A genuine university service would normally live on the university's own domain; hosting the same branding on an unrelated cloud address is the defining mismatch of a look-alike portal.
The site provides a registration form asking for first name, last name, email address and password, and a separate login form asking for email address and password. The registration form even instructs users to use an @gre.ac.uk or @greenwich.ac.uk address, which reinforces the impression that this is an official university system while the credentials are submitted to a third-party host.
The page itself carries a registration note: 'This site is hosted externally please do not register with your UoG password.' That is the operator acknowledging the site is not the official university system, yet the forms still collect an email address and password. A visitor who ignores the note and reuses a university password is handing that credential to whoever controls the run.app deployment.
Clean technical checks do not clear an impersonation portal
The saved technical checks are clean: the browser threat feed returned no threat warning, the TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, and antivirus scanning reported zero malicious and zero suspicious detections across 93 engines. These results mean the page is not currently flagged or serving known malware; they do not establish that the operator is the university or that submitting credentials here is safe.
The risk here is operator and customer risk, not a technical detection. The site impersonates a real institution's branding, collects email addresses and passwords, and admits in its own text that it is hosted externally. The unresolved question is where the submitted data goes; the evidence does not show a confirmed breach or a specific victim, which is why this is scored as high risk rather than dangerous.
Why the score is 32
The page shows the University of Greenwich logo and a 'Visitor Parking Permits' heading but is served from a generic Google Cloud Run subdomain rather than the university's gre.ac.uk domain. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens when a visitor registers or logs in
A visitor who registers enters a first name, last name, email address and password into the form on this page. Because the page is hosted on a generic run.app subdomain rather than the university's domain, those credentials are submitted to the operator of that deployment, not to the University of Greenwich.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
A visitor who logs in enters an email address and password into the login form. The page's own note warns against using a UoG password here, which indicates the operator knows the site is not the official university system. Reusing a university password on this page would expose that credential to an external party.
Do not register or log in on this page, and do not enter a University of Greenwich password or any password you use elsewhere. If you need visitor parking permits or university account help, go directly to the university's official gre.ac.uk website and use the service from there. If you already submitted a university password on this page, change that password immediately through the university's official IT service and report the incident to the university.
Web research findings
Independent findings for university-of-greenwich-255521831700.europe-west2.run.app, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for university-of-greenwich-255521831700.europe-west2.run.app. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.

08 · Final Verdict
Final verdict
Look-alike University of Greenwich visitor-permit portal hosted on a throwaway Google Cloud Run subdomain, with its own page warning users not to enter their university password.
