Domain has been registered for 7+ 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 77/100, 2/3 legal pages present.

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

Detected category: ecommerce (low risk).

This website was classified as 'ecommerce'. 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: standard — 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.

AI Analysis

Surfworld.nl is a Dutch website that acts as an aggregator and booking platform for surf camps and surf holidays worldwide. It lists various surf camps across numerous countries, categorized by destination, age group, and themes like 'Surf & Yoga', and partners with established surf camp providers.

The website clearly states its function as an intermediary for surf camps, not as a direct provider, which is transparently explained in the 'Contact' and 'About' sections. It lists numerous surf camps with prices and details, provides contact information, and has a valid SSL certificate. The domain is old and the site appears to be a legitimate travel aggregator. There are no indicators of common scams such as guaranteed returns or withdrawal fees.

• Standard online booking safety practices apply.

A free, automatically-issued certificate only proves control of the domain — it does not vet the company behind it. Common for legitimate sites, but also trivial for scammers to obtain, so treat HTTPS alone as the bare minimum, not proof of trust.
