Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
Avanza Maestro is a public-facing educational marketplace serving visitors in Peru, presenting virtual and local courses, diplomas, seminars, workshops, specialized programs, certifications, and advisory services. Its apparent business model is to generate revenue through course purchases and enrollment for online and in-person educational offerings.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
Confirmed external threat contradictions materially elevate the risk of sensitive interaction. The domain is blacklisted and has been assessed by multiple external security systems as malicious, including detections from two enterprise security vendors. The website content itself presents a conventional education marketplace: the homepage lists courses, discounts, prices, virtual delivery, and enrollment functionality, while the supplied page analysis identified no direct phishing form, cloaking, wallet activity, or brand-impersonation signal. That benign presentation does not offset the external detections. The available evidence does not establish a conflicting legal identity or confirmed brand impersonation, but it does support treating login, credential submission, payment, and other sensitive actions as unsafe.
- External reputation telemetry records 13 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection across 19 effective evaluations for the domain.
- The external reputation record marks the domain as blacklisted and activates a protective kill-switch condition.
- The homepage presents Avanza Maestro as an education and course marketplace; its page analysis records no red flags, no login form, and no hidden sensitive form.
- Domain registration telemetry records creation on 2024-06-29, with an age of 2.14 years; the historical record contains 161 archive snapshots across 4 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site's apparent educational purpose is clear, but the supplied evidence does not independently verify the operator's real-world identity. The available page content identifies courses, contact details, and a Chiclayo location, while the analysis does not show a license claim, licensing authority, or registration number. This is a regulatory and disclosure verification gap rather than, by itself, proof of fraud. A third-party broker-intelligence comparison produced no match and therefore provides no additional reputational or regulatory conclusion. The domain is registered through Wild West Domains, LLC, and its transport encryption is valid, but those infrastructure and registration facts do not establish institutional authorization or educational accreditation.
- The homepage and navigation expose “Nosotros,” “Contacto,” “Certificaciones,” and “Diplomados” sections, but the supplied content does not provide a license number or named licensing authority.
- The site's TLS certificate is DV-validated, issued by YR2, and valid until 2026-10-02.
- The domain registrar is Wild West Domains, LLC; the recorded registration date is 2024-06-29 and the expiration date is 2027-06-29.
- The site's page-authority signal is low, with an OpenPageRank value of 1.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an organization should independently confirm that the named education provider exists at the stated Chiclayo address and that the person or entity accepting enrollment is authorized to issue the advertised diplomas or certifications. Any applicable Peruvian education, training, or consumer-registration status should be checked directly with the relevant official registry, using contact details obtained independently rather than relying solely on the website. Payment should be limited to a method offering dispute rights, and the provider's refund, cancellation, certificate-validity, and data-handling terms should be obtained and retained before enrollment.
- The homepage advertises 59 diploma courses, virtual delivery, 1,200 lective hours for several listings, and discounted prices, making certificate validity and consumer terms material verification points.
- The contact information includes a Chiclayo physical address and a telephone contact that can be checked through an independent route.
- The site provides account registration and login navigation, making identity and access-control verification relevant before credential use.
- The supplied page analysis identifies no external links or structured legal metadata that independently corroborate the provider's status.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction. Although the site presents a coherent educational storefront and its visible behavior is not overtly deceptive, the confirmed external threat contradictions dominate the assessment. Operator identity and institutional authorization remain unverified, so the website should not be treated as an established or trusted education provider.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a likely origin address rather than a detected CDN edge and is hosted by WHG-USE1—WHG Hosting Services Ltd in the United Kingdom. This infrastructure provides a technically identifiable hosting path, but it offers no independent assurance of the site's legitimacy.
- Hosted on AS14670, WHG-USE1—WHG Hosting Services Ltd, GB.
- The resolved server IP is 65.181.111.139; infrastructure analysis records 1 unique IP, 0 edge IPs, and 1 likely origin IP.
- No CDN or WAF vendor was detected.
Closing Assessment
Interaction should be restricted to passive viewing until the provider's identity, authorization, certificate validity, and payment protections have been independently confirmed; login, credential submission, and financial activity should not proceed on the basis of the website's presentation alone.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about avanzamaestro.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.
