Full analysis
Overview
Cool Raccoon is an independent movie-production portfolio website associated with El Paso, Texas, presenting short and feature films, founding-member information, partners, behind-the-scenes material, and contact information. Its apparent business model is project-based film production and collaboration rather than direct online sales or financial services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed: the available evidence identifies no phishing behavior, brand impersonation, malicious reputation result, or conflicting legal identity. The site’s content is coherent with a small film-production portfolio, and its observed behavior includes no login form, sensitive form, wallet connection, hidden form, cloaking, or suspicious script activity. The limited authority footprint is not, by itself, evidence of impersonation or fraud.
- Homepage: Presents a film-production portfolio and founding-member content without financial, credential-harvesting, or high-pressure transaction mechanisms.
- Contact and navigation pages: Provide ordinary production-company contact and portfolio pathways; no sensitive submission form was observed.
- Domain registration record: Registered 2014-01-28 (~12.57 years old), with expiration on 2027-01-28.
- Web archive: 27 snapshots spanning 2011–2026, covering 16 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site’s apparent activity is independent film production, for which no regulated financial-service claim is presented. The available pages identify the operating presentation as Cool Raccoon and provide production-related information, but the real-world operator has not been independently verified. No license number or regulatory authority is disclosed for the apparent production activity; this is a limited transparency point rather than evidence of a scam. Available external reputation checks did not identify malicious or suspicious results, although coverage was partial. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and the site uses a valid domain-validated TLS certificate issued by YR2.
- Hosting and DNS telemetry: Served from AS17378 (TierPoint, LLC, US).
- TLS telemetry: Certificate issued by YR2, validation level DV, valid to 2026-11-04T15:47:35+00:00.
- Registration record: Registrar listed as GoDaddy.com, LLC; registrant details are held through Domains By Proxy, LLC.
- External reputation checks: `external_blacklist` false, `gsb_malicious` false, and recorded malicious and suspicious counts were 0; reputation coverage was marked partial.
What to Verify Next
Before a credential or payment interaction, independently confirm the contracting entity behind the production business through an offline or independently sourced contact route. For any paid production engagement, obtain written terms identifying the contracting party, deliverables, cancellation or refund arrangements, and the beneficiary of payment; use payment methods that provide appropriate recourse.
- Contact page: Supplies a business contact route suitable for independent confirmation of the counterparty.
- Film and partner pages: Identify the commercial context as project collaboration, making written scope, ownership, and delivery terms relevant to any engagement.
- Available business presentation: Does not itself establish the operator’s independently verified legal identity or contractual authority.
Summary Verdict
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website with a high-trust, low-risk posture and no observed scam or impersonation contradiction. The site appears suitable for ordinary browsing and routine business consideration, while its real-world operator identity remains unverified and should not be treated as proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website resolves to TierPoint, LLC infrastructure in the United States, with a single likely origin address and no CDN edge layer identified in the supplied infrastructure facts. The hosting environment is assessed as trusted infrastructure, which provides a modest mitigating signal but does not independently establish the operator’s legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Proceed with ordinary business diligence before submitting credentials, authorizing payment, or entering a production agreement, with particular attention to independently confirmed counterparty details and transaction protections.

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