Risk Breakdown

Valid SSL certificate detected. Issued by DigiCert Inc. Expires 7/17/2026.

An SSL certificate encrypts data between your browser and the website. A valid certificate means the connection is secure.

Domain has been registered for 29+ year(s).

Older domains are generally more trustworthy. Scam operations rarely maintain domains for extended periods.

Website is online and responding.

The website was reachable during our scan. An online status alone does not indicate safety.

Content quality — metadata score 83/100, 3/3 legal pages present.

This website has proper metadata and the essential legal pages (terms, privacy, contact).

Detected category: government (low risk).

This website was classified as 'government'. The category risk level reflects how frequently this type of website is associated with online fraud.

No community reports filed against this domain.

Our community has not submitted any fraud reports for this domain.

Analysis depth: basic — matched to this site's category.

All core checks (SSL, WHOIS, DNS, content, technology, threat intelligence) ran. Depth is calibrated to the site's category — lower-risk categories use a lighter fraud-analysis pass than crypto/trading/payment sites. This does NOT mean any step was skipped.
