Full analysis
Security Alert
Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This is a local alternative-medicine clinic website for Alternatif Klinik in Sakarya, presenting services associated with Bülent Hazer, including acupuncture, prolotherapy, cupping, ozone therapy, phytotherapy, neural therapy, magnetotherapy, detox, and appointment booking by telephone; its apparent business model is paid in-person treatment and related patient visits.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content presents a coherent local-clinic model and does not show a login form, cryptocurrency functionality, wallet connection, hidden sensitive form, or detected brand impersonation. However, this benign page presentation is materially outweighed by confirmed external malicious detections and blacklist entries associated with the domain. The available evidence therefore supports a high-risk sensitive-interaction posture, even though no conflicting legal-entity names or direct brand-impersonation signal were observed. The domain’s apparent age and limited historical coverage do not neutralize the external reputation contradiction.
- The homepage identifies Alternatif Klinik, Sakarya, and Bülent Hazer and promotes appointment calls for paid alternative-medical services.
- External reputation analysis recorded 12 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection, with a Tier-1 threat detection and confirmed blacklist status from two external sources.
- Registration records show creation on 2016-10-02 and an age of 9.89 years.
- Historical records contain 32 archive snapshots spanning 2017–2026, covering 10 years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site identifies a practitioner and a range of medical or complementary-treatment services, but the reviewed pages do not provide a license number, licensing authority, corporate registration, or clearly attributable legal operator. This is a regulatory-transparency gap rather than, by itself, proof of fraud; in this case, however, it must be considered alongside the confirmed external blacklist contradiction. Independent identity verification remains incomplete. The transport certificate and hosting records establish technical operation, not medical authorization or legal legitimacy.
- The homepage and services navigation identify the clinic, practitioner name, treatment categories, telephone appointment route, and newsletter signup.
- No licensing authority or license number is stated in the reviewed legal, corporate, service, or contact content.
- The site is hosted on AS211401, ATAK-AS - Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.S., TR.
- TLS uses Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, with DV validation, valid through 2027-01-15.
What to Verify Next
Before any appointment, payment, or disclosure of health information, an independent check should confirm that the named practitioner and clinic are authorized by the relevant Turkish health and professional registries. The legal operating entity, physical practice details, treatment pricing, consent process, refund terms, and data-handling practices should be obtained through independently confirmed channels. Any payment request should be matched to the verified legal entity and supported by payment protections; official contact channels should also be confirmed through an independent, offline route.
- The homepage directs prospective patients to telephone-based appointment booking rather than providing an independently verified registry reference.
- The site offers a newsletter signup and appointment prompt, but no sensitive credential form was detected.
- The reviewed content describes paid treatment services without displaying licensing or registration particulars.
Summary Verdict
The website carries a critical trust posture and should be treated as unsuitable for sensitive interaction until the external threat and blacklist contradiction is independently resolved. Its apparent local-clinic presentation does not establish that the online service is safe to trust with credentials, personal health information, or financial activity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to a single apparent origin host operated by ATAK-AS - Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.S. in Türkiye, with no detected CDN or WAF layer. Direct origin exposure provides no meaningful protective mitigation against the reputation findings, although it does make the hosting arrangement technically identifiable.
- Resolved hosting: AS211401, ATAK-AS - Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.S., TR.
- One unique IP was identified, with 1 likely origin IP and 0 edge IPs; no CDN was detected.
- The hosting IP is 185.46.42.3.
Closing Assessment
Interaction should remain limited to non-sensitive viewing while independent regulatory, operator, and external-reputation checks are completed; credentials, health information, and financial details should not be submitted in the interim.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about alternatifklinik.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
