Verdict

Long-standing Italian graphic-design portfolio with no detected threats or deceptive mechanics

valentesergio.com presents itself as the personal portfolio of Sergio Valente, a graphic and web designer who says he has been active since 1999, offering visual communication and web design to companies and private clients. The domain is roughly 24 years old, the saved connection check found valid encryption, and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. The only interactive element observed is a contact form for enquiries, and the outbound links point to a W3C validator and Pexels, neither of which is a commercial funnel. No scam, phishing, malware or payment-deception evidence was found, so the site sits in the Safe band.

This appears to be a legitimate long-standing personal portfolio for a freelance graphic and web designer. You can browse it and use the contact form normally. As with any site, avoid sending sensitive personal or payment information through a contact form unless you have independently confirmed the recipient's identity, and be aware that no direct email address is published on the captured page.

Investigation Brief

valentesergio.com presents itself as the personal portfolio of Sergio Valente, a graphic and web designer who says he has been active since 1999, offering visual communication and web design to companies and private clients. The domain is roughly 24 years old, the saved connection check found valid encryption, and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. The only interactive element observed is a contact form for enquiries, and the outbound links point to a W3C validator and Pexels, neither of which is a commercial funnel. No scam, phishing, malware or payment-deception evidence was found, so the site sits in the Safe band.

A personal design portfolio, not a shop or service funnel

The captured page describes the operator as a graphic and web designer active since 1999, developing custom visual communication projects for companies and private individuals. The visible branding reads "SERGIO | VALENTE GRAFICA E COMUNICAZIONE" with the year MCMLXXVII, matching the personal-portfolio framing rather than a product catalogue or subscription service.

The only call to action observed is a contact form asking for name, email, phone, area of interest and a message, with a privacy-policy consent checkbox referencing Italian data-protection law and the GDPR. That is a standard enquiry form for a freelance professional, not a checkout, wallet connection or account-creation flow.

The footer shows a fiscal code (C.F.: VLNSRG77P29A794C) alongside Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy and Credits links. A tax identifier on a personal portfolio is consistent with an Italian sole trader or freelance professional and does not by itself prove or disprove anything, but it is the kind of detail a throwaway scam page rarely bothers to include.

No technical threats and no adverse operator evidence

The saved technical checks are clean: the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. These results mean no detections were recorded, not that the site is guaranteed safe, but combined with the absence of any download, redirect or credential-harvesting behaviour they support a low-risk assessment.

The registrable domain is 8735 days old, roughly 24 years, which is consistent with the operator's claim of activity since 1999 and is a supportive longevity signal. No adverse research claims, complaint records or blocklist entries were returned for this host.

One minor observation: no direct contact email address was found on the captured page, only the contact form. That is a small transparency gap for a professional portfolio, but it is not evidence of fraud, phishing or any deceptive mechanism, and it does not move the score out of the Safe band.

Outbound links are non-commercial references

The page links out to validator.w3.org and pexels.com. Neither link carries a commercial intent or explicit monetisation, and neither is an affiliate, order or payment path. There is no cross-domain checkout, no redirect chain and no forced advertising flow observed on this site.

Why the score is 88

The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

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.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on valentesergio.com and not a lookalike like v-alentesergio.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. 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.

  3. Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is valentesergio.com legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on valentesergio.com, so it appears legitimate. All 62 antivirus engines that rated it reported it clean in the saved analysis from September 17, 2019, and the domain is 23 years old, registered on November 25, 2002 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is valentesergio.com safe to use?
valentesergio.com has a Safety Score of 88/100 (Safe). The saved checks and analysis found no material threat at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like valentesergio.com still be used in a scam?
Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from valentesergio.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from valentesergio.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has valentesergio.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 62 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it reported valentesergio.com as clean in the saved analysis from September 17, 2019. 9 other engines had no rating for it. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is valentesergio.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — valentesergio.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the valentesergio.com domain?
valentesergio.com is 23 years old, registered on November 25, 2002 through Tucows Domains Inc. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does valentesergio.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — valentesergio.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Actalis S.p.A. · Actalis Domain Validated TLS Server RSA CA 2025, valid for another 180 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is valentesergio.com hosted?
valentesergio.com resolves to an IP operated by Aruba S.p.A. - Shared Hosting IT1 in IT (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the valentesergio.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 25, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about valentesergio.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Conclusion

valentesergio.com presents itself as the personal portfolio of Sergio Valente, a graphic and web designer who says he has been active since 1999, offering visual communication and web design to companies and private clients. The domain is roughly 24 years old, the saved connection check found valid encryption, and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. The only interactive element observed is a contact form for enquiries, and the outbound links point to a W3C validator and Pexels, neither of which is a commercial funnel. No scam, phishing, malware or payment-deception evidence was found, so the site sits in the Safe band.

Recommended actionThis appears to be a legitimate long-standing personal portfolio for a freelance graphic and web designer. You can browse it and use the contact form normally. As with any site, avoid sending sensitive personal or payment information through a contact form unless you have independently confirmed the recipient's identity, and be aware that no direct email address is published on the captured page.
