Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website is a Belgian local-services page for Euro-Parquets, presenting parquet-flooring restoration and aérogommage services for stairs, floors, furniture, and related surfaces. It identifies Christophe De Broux, provides telephone and email contact details, and appears designed to generate direct customer enquiries and one-time service contracts rather than provide online accounts, investments, or payment services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The principal risk is not the service description itself, which contains no observed investment, login, payment, or cryptocurrency features, but the external security evidence associated with the domain. The domain is blacklisted by the listed external sources, with seven malicious detections and threat flags from Fortinet and Sophos. This is a confirmed contradiction that materially outweighs the otherwise ordinary local-business presentation. No conflicting legal-entity names or direct brand-impersonation indicators were observed, so the available evidence does not establish an identity contradiction; nevertheless, the site should be treated as unsuitable for sensitive interaction until the security findings are independently resolved.
- External reputation assessment: 7 malicious detections, with Fortinet and Sophos among the flagged vendors; blacklist status confirmed.
- Domain registration record: registered 2024-06-05 (~2.21 years old).
- Historical records identify the domain as first seen on 2018-08-03 and last seen on 2023-12-24, with 6 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage presents a plausible local-services identity, naming Euro-Parquets and Christophe De Broux, giving a Belgian VAT identifier, and describing parquet repair, installation experience, and aérogommage work. That identity remains unverified as an independently established real-world operator. No licensing claim, licence number, or regulatory authority is presented in the supplied site content; for a trades business this is a transparency and verification matter, not by itself evidence of fraud. The presence of valid transport encryption and mainstream hosting infrastructure supports technical availability but does not validate the operator or neutralize the external blacklist findings.
- Homepage: identifies “Euro-Parquets,” Christophe De Broux, Branchon, telephone contact, and “TVA: BE0688.302.991.”
- Homepage: describes specialization in aérogommage of stairs, parquet floors, and furniture.
- Hosting infrastructure: served from AS16509 (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US).
- TLS certificate: issued by YR1, DV validation, valid to 2026-11-11.
What to Verify Next
The operator’s legal identity and VAT details should be checked independently against the relevant Belgian business and tax registries, without relying solely on information displayed by the website. Any proposed service should be documented through a written quotation or invoice that identifies the contracting entity, scope of work, payment beneficiary, and applicable cancellation or remediation terms. Contact channels should also be confirmed through an independent route before arranging work or sharing personal information, and any unresolved external security warning should be escalated to the hosting or domain provider for clarification.
- The homepage is the supplied source for the displayed business name, named individual, location, and VAT identifier requiring independent confirmation.
- The homepage describes direct customer contracts and telephone/email contact rather than a formal online transaction workflow.
- The site content contains no supplied licence, regulatory-authority, or independently verified registration disclosure.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk. Although the website presents a coherent local-service narrative and lacks visible high-risk transaction mechanics, confirmed external malicious detections and blacklist status make its legitimacy and safe handling unsuitable for sensitive interaction on the current evidence.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by AWS CDN/WAF infrastructure, and the observed addresses are AWS edge servers rather than an independently exposed origin. This provides a meaningful defensive layer against some network-level threats, but edge protection is only a mitigating technical control and cannot establish the operator’s identity or override the confirmed reputation risk.
Closing Assessment
Interaction should be limited to passive review until the external security findings and the contracting entity have been independently resolved; credentials, personal information, and financial transactions should not be submitted through the site.

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