Visual Screenshot Analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The page uses a generic Google Form to collect information for a purported statewide event while using a free Gmail account for contact, which is a common pattern for data collection scams.
What our vision model saw
5 signalsUse of a free Gmail address (Robert.America250MI@gmail.com) for a supposedly official statewide event
Request for personal information via a generic Google Form layout
Unprofessional contact information with a missing phone number after the 'cell at' prompt
Lack of official government or organizational branding/domain for a 'statewide' Michigan initiative
High-pressure 'once-in-a-lifetime' phrasing used to encourage participation
Brand Impersonation
medium confidenceThe page mentions or styles itself as Google, but is hosted on a domain that is not an official Google property.
MT Intelligence
The domain is an official part of the Mailchimp (Intuit) infrastructure, used globally for newsletter links and subscriber forms. Our analysis confirms the domain was registered over 20 years ago and is managed by a reputable registrar. While one engine in our antivirus network flagged it, this is a common false positive caused by the high volume of automated mail sent through these servers. The page content appears to be a community event application for a Michigan-based initiative, which is a standard use case for this platform. We found no evidence of malicious intent or credential harvesting on this specific subdomain.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for us.list-manage.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- us.list-manage.com is an official Mailchimp (Intuit) subdomain used for email tracking, click redirects, signup forms, and campaign links (confirmed on mailchimp.com/about/mcsv-static and multiple technical sources).
- The domain list-manage.com is approximately 20 years old and registered to Mailchimp infrastructure.
- Commonly appears in legitimate newsletters; the page title "Sharing the Spirit of America - Application" matches patterns of real organizational application forms distributed via Mailchimp (e.g., community, event, or nonprofit emails).
- Frequent spam complaints because spammers and phishers abuse Mailchimp to send campaigns or use its domains in phishing emails (Stanford alert on Mailchimp credential theft, Troy Hunt blog).
- Some security tools and blacklists flag *.list-manage.com due to association with bulk email (e.g., SURBL, SpamCop reports, one "Malicious" flag from Chong Lua Dao).
- Gridinsoft analysis gives 79/100 trust score and deems it "generally safe" with long domain age and mostly clean provider results.
- No evidence of this specific subdomain being a Google clone or typosquat; the "Brand reference: Google" in page metadata is likely unrelated or a false positive.

Contact Verification
We fetched the page and looked for real-world contact details. Legitimate businesses almost always publish an email on their own domain, a phone number, and a postal address. Scam shops usually don't.
- No email uses the site's own domain — legitimate shops usually do.
- Contact address uses a free-mail provider (gmail.com) — unusual for a real business.
- No phone number listed on the page.
- No postal address visible on the page.
- Page impersonates Google on a non-official domain.

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on us.list-manage.com and not a lookalike like u-s.list-manage.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

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 found no threat indicators on us.list-manage.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- us.list-manage.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 71/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. us.list-manage.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G3 TLS ECC SHA384 2020 CA1, expiring in 133 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- us.list-manage.com is 20.2 years old, registered on 4/18/2006 through MarkMonitor Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. us.list-manage.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- us.list-manage.com resolves to an IP operated by Akamai Technologies, Inc. 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.
- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 25, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around us.list-manage.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
