Full analysis
Overview
Elternverein ABGRU is a community website for a local parents’ association serving families in Agriswil, Büchslen, Gempenach, Ried near Kerzers and Ulmiz. It presents association news, events, calendars, membership information, annual reports, contact details and playgroup services, with an apparent operating model based on membership fees, donations and fundraising activities.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The website content is consistent with a local association and does not display investment solicitation, credential-collection forms, wallet functionality, or other evident abuse mechanics. The homepage and related pages also show no apparent brand impersonation, phishing form, or identity contradiction. However, this benign page presentation is materially outweighed by external threat detections: the domain is blacklisted by two listed sources, with three malicious and one suspicious detection recorded by one of them. This is a confirmed reputational contradiction and supports a high-risk posture for sensitive interactions, even though the page-level content itself does not explain the detections.
- External reputation assessment recorded `vt_malicious: 3`, `vt_suspicious: 1`, and blacklist status from both VT and an external blacklist source.
- The homepage and contact-related content describe association activities and contain no login form, sensitive form, or evident credential request.
- Domain continuity is recorded as 13.19 years; archive telemetry records 68 snapshots spanning 2013–2026, with 14 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available pages identify the association as Elternverein ABGRU and provide sections for the board, membership, annual reports, privacy information and playgroup organisation. The operator’s real-world identity is nevertheless unverified, and the available disclosure state is unclear. No licensing claim or registration number is presented; for an association of this apparent type, that is a transparency and identity-verification matter rather than evidence of financial misconduct. The site’s lack of investment or custodial services also means that financial-regulatory conclusions cannot be inferred from its content. Transport security and ordinary hosting resolution are confirmed technical controls, but they do not establish legal ownership or legitimacy.
- The site’s identity-related navigation includes “Über uns,” “Vorstand,” “Kontakt,” “Jahresberichte,” and “Datenschutzerklärung.”
- Hosting is on AS47302 (CYON - cyon AG, CH), with the infrastructure located in Switzerland.
- The site uses a DV TLS certificate issued by YR1, valid to `2026-09-27T17:47:35+00:00`.
- The available regulatory assessment records no claimed license, licensing authority, or license number.
What to Verify Next
Before any login, credential submission, donation, membership payment or other sensitive action, the association should be independently confirmed through an offline or separately sourced local channel. The board and annual-report information should be checked for a consistent legal name, responsible persons and payment recipient, and any applicable Swiss association or payment disclosures should be confirmed through the relevant official source. Official contact channels should also be validated independently rather than relying solely on the website.
- The website provides dedicated “Vorstand,” “Kontakt,” “Mitglied / Passivmitglied,” and “Jahresberichte” pages that can support identity and payment-recipient checks.
- The stated business model is membership, donation and fundraising activity rather than provision of financial products or custodial services.
- No sensitive form or external credential-posting destination was observed during the available site interaction checks.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust with elevated risk for sensitive interaction. The site appears informational and community-oriented at the content layer, but its independently recorded reputation contradictions and unverified operator identity prevent a positive legitimacy conclusion. Passive viewing is materially less exposed than account, credential or financial activity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to hosting infrastructure operated by CYON - cyon AG, with no CDN or WAF detected and two likely origin addresses identified. A valid DV TLS certificate provides transport encryption, but the hosting arrangement itself is only a mitigating technical observation and is not proof of operator legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Restrict engagement to passive information access until the association and any transaction recipient have been confirmed through an independent channel; sensitive actions should not proceed on the basis of the website alone.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about elternverein-abgru.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.
