Full analysis
Overview
The website presents Association Bernex Accueille (ABA), a local nonprofit association supporting the integration and welcoming of migrants in Bernex through community activities, volunteer participation, membership information, and financial or in-kind donations.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s pages present a coherent community-association purpose and do not show a login form, credential-harvesting mechanism, brand impersonation, or commercial investment offer. However, this benign page presentation is outweighed by a confirmed external blacklist status and two malicious detections from external reputation checks. These are material contradictions to the site’s apparent nonprofit identity and justify treating sensitive interaction, donation, and account-related activity as elevated risk. No separate legal-entity identity contradiction was observed across the supplied pages.
- Homepage: identifies “Association Bernex Accueille” and describes migrant-integration activities, volunteer participation, and donations without presenting phishing or credential-harvesting elements.
- Behavioral inspection of the homepage: no login form, hidden form, external password submission, wallet connection, clipboard manipulation, or suspicious inline script was detected.
- External reputation evidence: 2 malicious detections were recorded and the domain was confirmed as blacklisted.
- Domain provenance: registered 7.091033538672143 years ago; 64 archive snapshots spanning 2019–2026, across 8 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The association, committee, historical, and statutes pages provide an apparent organizational structure, but the real-world operator identity remains unverified. No licensing authority or license number is presented, which is a transparency and verification gap rather than proof of criminality; the site’s stated nonprofit and donation-oriented model does not itself establish regulatory authorization. The available broker-reputation context contains no matching record, but that absence is not a legal or licensing determination. The confirmed external reputation warnings remain the principal concern for engagement decisions.
- Association and statutes pages: present the name “Association Bernex Accueille” and organizational sections including members, committee, history, and statutes.
- Homepage and donation pages: present a volunteer-and-donation model rather than commercial sales or investment services.
- Hosting telemetry: served from AS29222 (Infomaniak-AS – Infomaniak Network SA, CH).
- Transport security telemetry: TLS certificate issued by YR2, domain-validated (DV), valid to 2026-10-05 22:10:16 UTC.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an independent party should match the association’s legal name and committee information against the relevant Swiss or cantonal association records. Donation instructions should be validated by confirming the beneficiary name and account details through an independently obtained channel rather than relying solely on the website. Contact channels should likewise be confirmed through an offline or independently sourced route, and any request for credentials or additional personal information should be treated as requiring separate justification.
- Association page: provides the stated organizational identity and membership structure to be checked against an independent registry.
- Statutes and committee pages: provide the organizational documents and named governance material needed for comparison.
- Donation page: provides the beneficiary and payment instructions requiring independent confirmation before funds are sent.
- Volunteer signup page: requests personal and contact information, creating a clear basis for limiting submissions until the operator is independently validated.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust with elevated sensitive-interaction risk. The site appears to serve a plausible local-association purpose, but that apparent legitimacy is not independently established and is contradicted by material external reputation findings. The available evidence therefore does not support treating the site as a verified or dependable destination for sensitive activity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is directly hosted by Infomaniak Network SA on AS29222 in Switzerland. No CDN or WAF was identified; resolution showed two likely origin IP addresses and no edge IPs, so the hosting arrangement provides limited protective mitigation against infrastructure-level exposure.
Closing Assessment
Passive viewing may be retained for context, but credentials, personal-information submissions, and financial transactions should remain suspended until the association, payment beneficiary, and contact channels have been independently confirmed.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about bernex-accueille.ch 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.
