Full analysis
Overview
Fusion Chefs PV is a Puerto Vallarta-based personal chef and catering website presenting private dinners, event catering, meal services, villa or condominium prestocking, food delivery, reservation options, and contact channels for prospective customers.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content is consistent with a local catering business and contains no observed login form, wallet connection, phishing-style form, or brand-impersonation indicator. However, the domain has confirmed external blacklist detections, including three malicious and one suspicious detections, which is a material contradiction to the otherwise benign presentation and supports a high-risk posture for sensitive interactions. Behavioral testing also identified two suspicious inline scripts, substantial DOM changes after interaction, and 13 console errors; these findings do not establish malicious intent individually, but they add technical concern when considered alongside the blacklist status. A separate abuse report concerns the shared hosting provider IP rather than being specifically attributed to the website, so it is contextual rather than conclusive site-level evidence.
- The homepage presents Fusion Chefs PV as a personal chef and catering service and shows a booking/contact form without a password field or external sensitive-form destination.
- External reputation checks recorded 3 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection for the domain, with a confirmed blacklist status.
- Browser testing of the homepage recorded 2 suspicious inline scripts, a maximum post-interaction DOM difference of 1593, and 13 console errors.
- The hosting IP 216.194.165.6 has 1 abuse report with confidence score 3; the report is attributed to shared InMotion Hosting infrastructure.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available pages provide a commercial name, service descriptions, testimonials, reservation functionality, and telephone or messaging contact details, but they do not present a legal-entity name, licensing authority, or license number. For a personal chef and catering operation, the absence of a displayed license number is a regulatory-transparency gap requiring confirmation rather than, by itself, evidence of a scam. The operator’s real-world identity remains independently unverified. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and uses a private registration record; this is an administrative limitation, not an identity contradiction. The available broker-reputation dataset produced no name match, so it provides no additional broker-specific concern or endorsement.
- The homepage and service content describe private-residence, villa, hotel, and event catering but show no licensing authority or registration number.
- The site’s TLS certificate is DV, issued by YR1, and valid to 2026-09-18.
- The domain was registered on 2018-10-31 and is 7.81 years old; the registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC.
- Archival coverage is sparse, with records dated from 2021-12-05 through 2026-05-14 and 6 years tracked; this does not establish a recent domain creation or a repurposing event.
What to Verify Next
Before any payment or booking commitment, the prospective customer should independently confirm the operating business name, physical service location, and current contact channels through an offline or independently sourced route. Any applicable local food-service, catering, or event-service permissions should be confirmed with the relevant Puerto Vallarta or Mexican authority, and the booking terms should be reviewed for deposits, cancellation, refunds, service scope, and dispute handling. Payment should use a method with customer protection, and sensitive credentials should not be reused on this site.
- The contact and reservation areas provide telephone and messaging channels but do not independently establish the operator’s legal identity.
- The booking interface is the site’s principal transaction mechanism and should be assessed together with its cancellation and refund terms.
- The site has no visible login form, but the overall assessment identifies sensitive-interaction risk arising from external threat detections.
Summary Verdict
This is a low-trust website with elevated sensitive-interaction risk. Its plausible local-service presentation is outweighed by confirmed external blacklist detections and unresolved independent identity verification. The site should not be treated as established or authenticated for financial, credential, or other sensitive activity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a likely origin address on InMotion Hosting, Inc.’s US network, AS22611, with no detected CDN or WAF edge layer. This provides a technically identifiable hosting path but no protective infrastructure capable of offsetting the reputation concerns. The transport layer uses a valid DV certificate issued by YR1, which protects the connection in transit but does not establish the operator’s legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Treat the website as suitable, at most, for limited informational review while independent business, regulatory, and payment-protection checks remain outstanding; sensitive or financially consequential interaction should be deferred until those checks are completed.

01 Governance Risk
- The registration record withholds contact details for the operator.Registration and ownership
rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN - Registration details are held behind a privacy service, so no operator is named publicly. This is common and legal, and it also means there is nobody to check.Registration and ownership

signal:direct_threat - The page rewrote itself after it was interacted with, so what a visitor first sees is not what they end up on.Behaviour in a sandbox
rule:BEHAV_DOM_DIFF_AFTER_INTERACTION - The structure of the page changed sharply while it was loading.Behaviour in a sandbox
rule:BEHAV_DOM_DENSITY_SPIKE - The page carried inline scripts written in a style TrustSniffer treats as suspicious.Behaviour in a sandbox

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