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.

Confidence
The domain was originally registered in 2000, which usually suggests high trust; however, the current website content appears recently established and lacks basic corporate transparency. We found no business registration records or physical office addresses, and the contact numbers provided are either generic placeholders or linked to unrelated freight companies. The site functions primarily as a lead-generation tool for quotes rather than a direct storefront with inventory. The absence of any third-party reviews or social media presence for a 'global marketplace' is a significant red flag. These factors combined suggest the site may be used for data harvesting or as a front for unverified brokerage services.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The website presents as 'ZBAYE GLOBAL MARKET PLACE,' claiming to source parts for major machinery brands. It features a professional layout with search functions for part numbers and serial numbers, yet it lacks a visible inventory or specific pricing. The site relies heavily on 'Request a Quote' forms to capture user information.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a standard IP with a valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. It utilizes common WordPress plugins and the CookieAdmin consent tool. While the technical setup is functional, the lack of a corporate email infrastructure—relying instead on a single domain-based address—is atypical for a global sourcing firm.

Domain History

The domain zbaye.com has existed for over 24 years, which is a strong positive signal for age. However, the current site content does not appear to have a long-standing history of operation under this brand. It is common for older, expired domains to be repurposed for new, unverified ventures.

Web Reputation

There is no digital footprint for this business outside of its own domain. We found no mentions in industry forums, trade directories, or consumer review platforms. The lack of both positive and negative feedback suggests very low traffic or a very recent launch of the current business model.
Risk Factors
6
  • No physical business address or legal entity details provided on the website.
  • Phone numbers include a Jamaican placeholder (+1 876-123-4567) seen on template sites.
  • US contact number is associated with unrelated freight and cargo businesses in New Jersey.
  • Zero presence on independent review aggregators or industry trade platforms.
  • Copyright date is listed as 2026, a common error in templated or automated site setups.
  • No verifiable business registration found in Jamaican or US corporate databases.
Positive Signals
3
  • Domain age is over 24 years, indicating it is not a 'throwaway' registration.
  • Clean scan results from our antivirus network and malware engines.
  • Professional visual design with functional navigation and search tools.
AI Recommendation
Avoid providing detailed business financial information or making upfront payments. Verify the company's legitimacy by requesting a physical office address and a verifiable business license before proceeding.

Key findings

  • Domain zbaye.com is approximately 24 years old (8868 days).

  • Contact details on site include support@zbaye.com, phone/WhatsApp +1 (876) 123-4567 (Jamaican placeholder format used in multiple unrelated Jamaican sites) and 609-710-2009 (linked to unrelated NJ freight businesses like Royal Cargo Xpress
  • No physical address, business registration, or verifiable company information provided on the site.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for zbaye.com and didn't find scam reports or complaints. For a site claiming to be a global marketplace with over 500 suppliers, this total lack of digital footprint is unusual and is not by itself a sign of trust. Furthermore, our research into the provided contact details found that the US phone number belongs to a different logistics company, and the Jamaican number is a common placeholder.

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  • Treat zbaye.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  • Share your experience

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 marked zbaye.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • zbaye.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. zbaye.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, expiring in 68 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • zbaye.com is 24.3 years old, registered on 3/12/2002 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report zbaye.com as clean.
  • No. zbaye.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • zbaye.com resolves to an IP operated by HOSTINGER-HOSTING in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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 22, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around zbaye.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
