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.

Brand impersonation — not the real site

Domain was registered only 12 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.

The domain usdtcirtificates.in is a newly registered phishing clone designed to impersonate BscScan.com, the official BNB Smart Chain explorer. The page title falsely claims to be 'BNB Smart Chain Explorer' while the domain name references fake USDT certificates—a common cryptocurrency scam vector. Security researchers have already flagged this domain as a phishing threat. The site was registered only 12 days ago with privacy protection enabled, contains no legitimate business information, contact details, or registration records, and carries a suspicion score of 45/100 from our network fingerprinting. One antivirus engine flagged it as suspicious. The combination of recent registration, impersonation of a legitimate blockchain explorer, and confirmed phishing reports creates a critical-risk profile.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays a title 'BNB Smart Chain Explorer' but serves no functional content—only a blank or minimal interface. This mimics the legitimate BscScan.com explorer to deceive users into believing they are accessing a real blockchain tool. The domain name 'usdtcirtificates.in' references fake USDT (Tether) certificates, a known social-engineering tactic used to lure cryptocurrency investors into credential-harvesting or fund-theft schemes.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 159.89.53.148 with a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (78 days to expiry). The IP has an abuse score of 1/100 but carries 17 historical abuse reports, indicating prior malicious activity on the same hosting block. The domain uses privacy-protected WHOIS registration via Namecheap.

Domain History

Registered only 12 days ago, making it a fresh phishing deployment. No business registration records exist in any jurisdiction. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a newly launched phishing site designed for short-term exploitation before takedown.

Web Reputation

Flagged as a phishing threat by PhishDestroy's automated scanning systems. One antivirus engine (Gridinsoft) marked it as suspicious. Our network fingerprinting confirms this is a clone of bscscan.com with multiple red flags. No positive reviews or trust signals exist.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with usdtcirtificates.in

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

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 flags usdtcirtificates.in as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

  • Yes. usdtcirtificates.in presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, expiring in 78 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • usdtcirtificates.in is 12 days old, registered on 5/30/2026 through NAMECHEAP. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
