Investigation Brief

Zellis.com is the corporate site of a long-running UK enterprise software company that sells HR, payroll and workforce-management solutions. The domain has been registered since 1994. Two antivirus engines flagged the URL, but no active malware distribution or phishing behavior is described in the evidence. Customer reviews mention billing and cancellation friction for the Moorepay brand under the same group.

Domain history and antivirus signals

The registrable domain is 11 864 days old, indicating continuous operation since 1994.

the multi-engine malware scan shows two malicious and one suspicious detection out of 92 engines; the dossier notes these appear to be isolated vendor flags rather than evidence of active site compromise.

Operator and customer-service notes

The site offers a “Book a demo” commercial CTA that routes visitors to the sales team; no evidence of deceptive checkout flows or subscription traps is supplied.

an independent review platform reviews cite difficulties with contract termination and billing transparency for the Moorepay division; the dossier does not indicate whether these issues extend to the broader Zellis enterprise product line.

Why the score is 78

Two malicious detections reported by independent engines. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

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 zellis.com a scam or is it safe?
zellis.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is zellis.com safe to use?
zellis.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has zellis.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged zellis.com, 2 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is zellis.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — zellis.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 zellis.com domain?
zellis.com is 32.5 years old, registered on February 14, 1994 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. 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 zellis.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — zellis.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, valid for another 50 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 zellis.com hosted?
zellis.com resolves to an IP operated by WHG Hosting Services Ltd in GB (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.
Is zellis.com a well-known website?
Yes — zellis.com ranks in the global top 100,000 most-visited sites, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. Genuine popularity doesn't automatically make a site safe, but throwaway scam domains almost never reach this level of traffic, so it's a meaningful point in the site's favour.
How often is the zellis.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 9, 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 zellis.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
