Full analysis
Security Alert
Kaspersky flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website presents Essen Electrical Enterprises (EEE) as a Mumbai-based partnership firm supplying and installing electrical products, including wiring devices, cables, switches, switchgear, and LED lighting from brands such as Legrand, Schneider, MK Honeywell, and RR Kabel. Its apparent purpose is to provide company information, product categories, pricing and contact details for business and customer enquiries.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site's visible content is consistent with a conventional local electrical-products distributor: the homepage describes a partnership firm operating for more than 40 years, lists product categories and manufacturers, and provides business contact and location information. The page-level review found no login form, wallet function, hidden sensitive form, brand-impersonation indicator, or other obvious on-site fraud mechanism. However, this benign presentation is outweighed by confirmed external threat signals: the domain is listed on external blacklist sources and received multiple malicious detections, including a Tier-1 vendor detection. These are direct contradictions to the otherwise ordinary business presentation and create a material risk for sensitive interaction. No separate identity contradiction or confirmed impersonation finding was observed in the supplied evidence.
- The homepage identifies “Essen Electrical Enterprises” as a partnership firm and describes electrical-product distribution, customer support, and a Mumbai business address.
- The site's behavioral inspection recorded no login form, hidden form, wallet connection, wallet-drainer activity, clipboard hijacking, or suspicious inline script.
- External reputation evaluation recorded 7 malicious and 1 suspicious detection from 13 evaluated results; Kaspersky was among the flagged vendors, and the domain was marked on external blacklist sources.
- Domain registration records show creation on 2009-07-02 and an age of 17.15 years; archival records contain 456 snapshots across 18 tracked years, from 2009-09-08 through 2026-05-14.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The website describes a commercial partnership firm and supplies product and contact information, but the supplied pages do not present an independently verifiable registration number, licensing detail, or regulatory authority. That is a disclosure gap relevant to supplier and counterparty verification, not by itself evidence of criminal conduct. The site's independently verified operator identity remains unverified, while the confirmed external blacklist status requires the legal entity, address, and domain relationship to be established through authoritative records before any commercial reliance. A local broker-reputation dataset produced no match; this is limited contextual information and is not a licensing or regulatory determination.
- The homepage and company-information content describe EEE as a partnership firm and state that it has operated in the electrical field for more than 40 years.
- The product pages identify wiring devices, cable-management systems, IP plugs and sockets, modular switches, cables and wires, LED lights, and named brands including Legrand and Schneider.
- The site's hosting infrastructure is identified as AS141995, CAPL-AS-AP – Contabo Asia Private Limited, SG; the resolved server IP is 217.217.248.45 in Germany.
- The site's TLS certificate is issued by YR1 using Domain Validation (DV), valid until 2026-10-28T16:15:19+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any purchase, advance payment, credential submission, or exchange of business documents, an independent counterparty check should confirm that the named partnership, Mumbai address, telephone numbers, and product-distribution relationship correspond to authoritative business records and the relevant manufacturers' channel information. Any applicable commercial registration, tax documentation, or sector-specific authorization should be obtained directly from the purported entity and checked against the appropriate official registry. Payment instructions should be validated through an independently sourced telephone number, and transaction protections should be used until the domain's reputation issue is resolved by authoritative review.
- The Contact Us content supplies the primary business contact route and physical address for independent confirmation.
- The homepage and product catalogue provide the stated supplier and brand relationships that can be checked with Legrand, Schneider, RR Kabel, and the other named manufacturers.
- The site provides a Pricelist section, making supplier identity, quotation ownership, invoice details, and beneficiary-account matching material pre-transaction checks.
- The available identity-verification status is unverified, so the website's own business description cannot be treated as proof of the real-world operator.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction. Although the website has a coherent corporate presentation and technically stable page behavior, the confirmed external threat detections and blacklist status dominate the assessment. The site's apparent business identity should therefore be treated as unverified pending independent counterparty validation.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single hosting address and has no detected CDN or WAF layer; the infrastructure is hosted by CAPL-AS-AP – Contabo Asia Private Limited, SG, under AS141995. The valid DV certificate provides transport encryption but does not establish operator legitimacy, and the hosting location and registry information show a geographic mismatch that offers additional context rather than conclusive attribution.
Closing Assessment
Sensitive actions should be withheld until the counterparty, business records, contact channels, and payment beneficiary have been independently confirmed through trusted sources; read-only review is the proportionate interim posture.

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