Full analysis
Overview
The website is the corporate presence of АО «Метро-Телеком», a Moscow telecommunications engineering contractor offering network design, construction, maintenance, technical services, and fiber-optic line leasing to business and carrier customers.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No identity contradictions, phishing indicators, brand impersonation, deceptive browser behavior, or other fraud signals were observed. The homepage presents a coherent operating history and detailed capabilities, including more than 800 communications-infrastructure projects and work involving GSM, UMTS, LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi deployments for the Moscow Metro and named mobile operators. This substantive corporate profile converges with a long-established domain, significant global web traffic, and clean external threat-reputation results.
- The homepage consistently identifies the business as АО «Метро-Телеком» and describes telecommunications engineering and infrastructure services without conflicting legal identities.
- The domain was registered in 2003 and is approximately 23.4 years old; registration is maintained through RU-CENTER-RU and expires on 16 March 2027.
- External reputation checks recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections, no search-browsing safety alert, no abuse reports, and no confirmed threat-list entry.
- The domain has an established traffic footprint, ranking 55,026 globally and appearing within the top one million domains.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The supplied homepage provides a named corporate identity, physical contact information, telephone and corporate-email channels, detailed service descriptions, completed-project claims, and consent-supported inquiry forms. It does not present a specific telecommunications licence, licence authority, or registration number in the examined content; this is a limited disclosure point rather than evidence of fraud or impersonation. No third-party broker profile was matched, which supplies no independent regulatory conclusion either way.
- The homepage describes design, permitting, construction, equipment replacement, technical maintenance, and fiber-optic leasing activities under the АО «Метро-Телеком» identity.
- The service-request and contact forms include a personal-data consent mechanism and have no observed untrusted submission destination.
- The site is served from AS29182 by RU-JSCIOT – JSC IOT, RU.
- Transport encryption uses a DV certificate issued by GlobalSign GCC R3 DV TLS CA 2020, valid until 5 November 2026.
What to Verify Next
For procurement or contractual onboarding, the corporate name, registration particulars, signing authority, and bank details should be matched against current official records and the executed agreement. Any licence or permit required for the commissioned telecommunications work should be confirmed with the relevant authority, while claimed project references should be validated directly with representative customers through independently sourced channels.
- The homepage attributes more than 800 completed communications projects to the company, providing a concrete reference set for procurement validation.
- It names MTS, MegaFon, Beeline, Tele2, and the Moscow Metro in connection with prior infrastructure work.
- The site describes personnel permissions for work at height and strategically important facilities, creating specific credential and authorization points for contractual due diligence.
Summary Verdict
The website is a legitimate, established, and trustworthy corporate presence with a coherent identity, substantive operating profile, mature domain history, clean reputation, and stable observed behavior. No contradictory or deceptive signals undermine its stated business purpose. Normal interaction, including use of its standard inquiry and account functions where available, is appropriate.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to a single likely origin address in Russia and does not use a detected CDN or WAF edge layer. Its directly exposed hosting arrangement is conventional for a corporate services website; valid transport encryption and the absence of observed suspicious network activity support infrastructure integrity, although these controls are mitigating technical signals rather than independent proof of corporate legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Prospective customers may engage with the website normally, applying standard supplier-onboarding and contract-control procedures before commissioning material work or transferring funds.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about metro-telecom.ru 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.
