Full analysis
Overview
This website is an apparently academic postgraduate-program portal for the Universidad Amazónica de Pando, presenting mission and vision statements, program areas, admission requirements, administrative procedures, and an application form for prospective postgraduate students.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site's visible content is consistent with an informational academic service: the homepage presents postgraduate offerings, institutional objectives, admission requirements, and an application form, with no detected login form, payment workflow, cryptocurrency functionality, or overt credential-harvesting behavior. However, this benign presentation is materially outweighed by external threat detections: the domain is confirmed as blacklisted, and two evaluated security detections classify it as malicious. These findings create a significant risk that the site, or infrastructure associated with it, may not be a trustworthy channel for sensitive submissions. No conflicting legal-entity names or direct brand-impersonation indicators were observed in the supplied page content, but the external detections remain unresolved contradictions.
- The homepage identifies “Posgrado de la UAP” and provides mission, vision, objectives, and postgraduate program areas.
- The application and admission pages expose one application form, with no login form or hidden sensitive form detected.
- External reputation telemetry records 2 malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status for the domain.
- Domain age is 7.30 years; archival continuity is recorded from 2019-05-02 to 2026-06-05, with 45 snapshots across 8 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents itself as an academic postgraduate unit, but the available material does not independently establish the real-world operator or demonstrate authorization through a named academic regulator. The legal and governance disclosure position is therefore unclear rather than disproven. No license, registration number, or licensing authority is claimed in the supplied business-model and page data; this is a verification gap, not by itself evidence of fraud. The “edu.bo” academic-domain context is supportive of the stated category, but it does not independently verify institutional control. The site also lacks structured metadata and a substantive formal identity record, which limits external corroboration.
- The homepage states the UAP postgraduate mission and describes postgraduate education and research serving the Bolivian Amazon region.
- The admission-requirements and procedures pages describe academic application processes but do not provide a licensing authority or registration number.
- The domain uses the “edu.bo” suffix and is categorized in the supplied analysis as academic.
- Hosting telemetry shows AS20473, AS-VULTR – The Constant Company, LLC, US; the site uses a DV TLS certificate issued by YE1, valid through 2026-09-30.
What to Verify Next
Before any application or document submission, the institution’s control of the domain should be confirmed through an independently sourced UAP institutional website or an offline university contact. The postgraduate program’s authorization and current status should be checked with the relevant Bolivian higher-education authority. Application instructions, document requirements, fees, and any payment destination should be obtained through independently verified institutional channels rather than relying solely on the site.
- The homepage provides the institutional name, mission, vision, and program catalogue requiring external affiliation confirmation.
- The application-form and admission-requirements pages create a sensitive document-submission pathway.
- The procedures and postgraduate-work pages indicate that applicants may be directed through multiple administrative processes.
Summary Verdict
The website has a credible academic presentation and stable technical operation, but its overall trust posture is low because confirmed external malicious and blacklist detections conflict with the site’s institutional appearance. The operator’s real-world identity and authority remain unverified, so the portal should not be treated as an established official channel for sensitive interaction.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to one likely origin address hosted by AS-VULTR – The Constant Company, LLC, in the United States, without a detected CDN or WAF layer. Its transport encryption is valid but domain-validated, and the hosting arrangement provides limited identity assurance; infrastructure therefore offers no sufficient basis to offset the external reputation risk.
- Served from 64.176.196.119 on AS20473, AS-VULTR – The Constant Company, LLC, US.
- No CDN edge IPs or detected CDN/WAF vendors are present; one likely origin IP is identified.
- TLS issuer: YE1; validation level: DV; certificate expiry: 2026-09-30T06:28:10+00:00.
Closing Assessment
Sensitive actions should remain suspended until institutional affiliation, program authorization, and the authenticity of the application channel have been independently confirmed through trusted offline or official sources.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about posgradouap.edu.bo 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.
