Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
Poulios Therm is a Greek-language commercial website presenting Poulios Therm as a Thessaloniki-based heating and air-conditioning business offering burner, boiler, heat-pump and air-conditioning installation and maintenance, spare parts, product sales, contact services and bank/card payment options, with an apparent local HVAC-service and distribution model.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents a coherent local-business profile, including service descriptions, product information, contact details and a single contact form, and no identity contradiction or brand-impersonation indicator was observed in the supplied page analysis. However, this positive page-level presentation is outweighed by a confirmed blacklist designation and malicious detections in external security intelligence. Interaction testing also identified suspicious inline-script activity and substantial post-interaction page mutation. These technical findings do not by themselves establish operator intent, but together with the blacklist status they support a clearly cautionary posture for credentials, payments and other sensitive activity.
- External security intelligence recorded 10 malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status for the website.
- Interaction telemetry recorded 12 suspicious inline scripts and a maximum post-interaction DOM difference of 3,197 elements across two successful runs.
- The homepage was classified as a local HVAC/service business; the page analysis found no login form, no sensitive form and no detected brand-impersonation indicator.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The website identifies itself as Poulios Therm, describes Thessaloniki HVAC services and states that it is an official Unical representative and technical-support provider for the area. The available material does not establish independent verification of the real-world operator or the claimed commercial relationship. No license or registration number is claimed in the supplied business-model evidence; for this type of trade business, that is a verification point rather than, on its own, evidence of fraud. The confirmed blacklist finding remains the decisive reputational concern, while the apparent business identity and long-running domain continuity provide context but do not resolve the security risk.
- Domain registration continuity is recorded as 13.19917864476386 years.
- Archive telemetry records 0 snapshots, with first seen 2013-06-08T23:40:46Z, last seen 2026-05-16T15:10:44Z, and 14 years tracked.
- Hosting was identified as AS24940, HETZNER-AS - Hetzner Online GmbH, DE.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR1, uses DV validation, and is valid to 2026-11-06T09:01:53+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an independent party should confirm the legal trading entity, the claimed Unical relationship and any applicable trade or installation authorization through the manufacturer and the relevant Greek registry or authority. Payment beneficiaries should be checked against independently obtained business records, and contact channels should be confirmed through an offline or independently sourced route. Credentials, payment details and bank-transfer instructions should not be submitted or acted upon while the external security findings remain unresolved.
- The homepage states that Poulios Therm is an official Unical representative and technical-support provider in Thessaloniki.
- The contact page structure includes one contact form, while the site also presents telephone, address and payment information.
- The supplied page analysis found no sensitive form and no untrusted form destination.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction. Although the website has a credible-looking local-business presentation and an identity connection assessed as likely rather than verified, the externally confirmed security contradictions take precedence and prevent a trustworthy engagement conclusion.
Infrastructure Integrity
A CDN/WAF layer is present, and the observed addressing was limited to edge infrastructure with no origin candidate identified. This reduces direct origin exposure but is only a mitigating control; it does not establish legitimacy or offset the external reputation findings.
Closing Assessment
Sensitive use should be suspended pending independent resolution of the security detections and confirmation of the business and payment details through trusted channels; any interim activity should remain strictly non-interactive and informational.

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