Full analysis
Overview
Kamelot Auctions is an online auction-house website presenting upcoming and past auction listings, item catalogs, and information for the sale of physical goods such as furniture, decorative arts, garden objects, and architectural antiques.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
A confirmed blacklist signal creates a material contradiction to the otherwise coherent auction-house presentation. External reputation checks also recorded one malicious and one suspicious detection, while observed account-access behavior included password forms posting externally and substantial page changes after interaction. These indicators warrant a security-forward posture for credentials and financial activity. No brand impersonation or conflicting legal-entity names were observed, and the site's long-established registration is a positive provenance indicator; however, that history does not neutralize the current reputation contradiction or independently verify the operator.
- External reputation data records the domain as blacklisted; separate checks recorded 1 malicious and 1 suspicious detection.
- The homepage contains an account login function; behavioral testing observed 2 password forms posting externally.
- Domain registration: 2003-10-23; age 22.84 years; registrar: TUCOWS.COM, CO.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents a conventional online-auction business model and clear physical contact information, but the available evidence does not independently verify the real-world operator. No licensing claim or license number is presented in the supplied site content; for an auction business, this is a regulatory and disclosure item requiring confirmation rather than standalone evidence of fraud. The site's transport security and established hosting arrangements are technically credible, although a domain-validated certificate confirms control of the domain rather than the legal identity behind it.
- The site's auction and contact content describes timed and live sales of physical goods, with buyer and consignor services.
- Hosted on AS14618 (AMAZON-AES - Amazon.com, Inc., US).
- TLS certificate issued by Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 (DV), valid to 2026-12-04T23:59:59+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, independently confirm the operator's legal identity and any auction-related licensing or registration with the relevant jurisdictional registry. Auction catalog entries, provenance, buyer fees, payment arrangements, pickup, shipping, and appraisal terms should be obtained through independently confirmed contact channels and checked against records outside the website. Credentials should not be reused, and payment should use a method offering meaningful dispute or chargeback protection until those checks are complete.
- The homepage provides auction catalogs and sale schedules that can be cross-checked against independently sourced event or business records.
- The site's stated buyer, consignor, pickup, shipping, and appraisal workflows create specific terms and transaction details requiring independent confirmation.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust, with elevated risk concentrated on sensitive interactions. Although the site presents substantial, coherent business content and indicators of operational continuity, the available evidence does not support treating its legitimacy or operator identity as established for credential or financial use.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is protected by AWS CDN/WAF infrastructure, and the observed address is an edge endpoint rather than a directly exposed origin. This provides a mitigating layer against straightforward origin exposure, but protective hosting infrastructure is not evidence that the underlying operator or business activity is legitimate.
Closing Assessment
Until the reputation issue and operator identity are independently resolved, activity should remain limited to non-sensitive review, with no submission of credentials or funds.

What the analysis found
2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine, behaviour in a sandbox.
01 Governance Risk
- 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

02 Sensitive Interaction Risk
- The analysis matched a pattern TrustSniffer treats as a direct threat to a visitor.Analysis engine
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

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