Full analysis
Overview
Frutrac.com presents itself as the corporate website of Frutrac Ltd, a Ugandan company that processes, handles, and exports organic value-added agricultural products to European, United States, Middle Eastern, Japanese, and African markets. The site functions primarily as a concise corporate and export-business landing page, with sections for the company, services, products, contact, and store access.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s page content is consistent with a small agricultural exporter and does not show a login form, payment form, wallet connection, hidden form, suspicious script, or brand-impersonation pattern in the captured pages. However, this benign presentation is outweighed by confirmed external contradiction signals: the domain is identified by multiple external sources as blacklisted, with malicious detections also present. The hosting IP has additionally accumulated substantial abuse reporting; those reports apply to shared provider infrastructure, so they are not conclusive proof that Frutrac itself generated the activity, but they remain a material risk indicator in combination with the domain-level detections. No conflicting legal-entity names were observed across the supplied site content.
- The homepage describes Frutrac Ltd as a Ugandan organic agricultural-products exporter and contains no login or sensitive-data form.
- Domain registration telemetry records creation on 2018-05-07 and an age of 8.29 years.
- Web-archive telemetry records 32 snapshots spanning 2018–2026, with 9 years tracked.
- External reputation telemetry records 3 malicious and 2 suspicious detections, a blacklist result, and 68 abuse reports against hosting IP 192.250.239.84.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The website presents a corporate identity and business description, but the available legal and governance disclosure is limited, and the real-world operator identity remains independently unverified. No license, registration number, or licensing authority is claimed in the supplied content; for an agricultural exporter, this is a transparency and verification matter rather than standalone evidence of fraud. The site’s apparent business model is ordinary product sales and export distribution, but the limited corporate detail does not establish the company’s registration, certifications, contractual authority, or payment-counterparty identity.
- The homepage states that Frutrac Ltd is a local Ugandan company involved in processing, handling, and exporting organic value-added agricultural products.
- The supplied site content contains no license number or named licensing authority.
- Registration telemetry identifies Porkbun LLC as registrar; the domain was created on 2018-05-07 and expires on 2027-05-07.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR1 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-09-30.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an organization should independently confirm Frutrac Ltd’s Ugandan corporate registration and the legal status of the exporting entity through relevant official registries. Organic-product certifications, export documentation, invoicing details, beneficiary-account ownership, and refund or delivery terms should be validated through independent business channels rather than relying solely on the website. Any proposed account access, credential submission, or financial transaction should remain suspended unless those checks produce consistent results.
- The homepage provides a short corporate description but does not provide registration or certification identifiers.
- The captured site contains no visible social links, forms, or external business-verification references.
- The site offers contact and store access, making independent confirmation of the transaction and support channels relevant before engagement.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust with elevated risk for sensitive interaction. The website’s simple corporate presentation is not sufficient to overcome the confirmed external reputation contradictions and the unresolved operator-verification concerns. Read-only review is the proportionate permitted use case pending independent validation.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to WHG-LON—WHG Hosting Services Ltd in Great Britain, without a detected CDN or WAF edge layer; a single likely origin endpoint is visible. This provides limited infrastructure-based mitigation and does not offset the domain-level reputation concerns.
- Hosting telemetry records AS51713, WHG-LON—WHG Hosting Services Ltd, GB.
- The resolved address is 192.250.239.84, with 1 unique IP and 1 likely origin IP.
- No CDN or WAF vendor was detected.
- Transport security uses a DV certificate issued by YR1, valid through 2026-09-30.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate posture is to limit activity to non-sensitive, read-only inspection and to withhold credentials, account access, and financial commitments until independent corporate, commercial, and contact-channel checks are completed.

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