The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: more than 10 years (registration continuity). - Public web-archive history exists since 2002. - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Security Alert Fortinet flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution. This website is an online retail storefront for Pulimoottil Silks, presenting wedding, Kanchipuram, Kerala, Banarasi, organza, handloom, and other saree collections with product listings, shopping-cart functionality, checkout, shipping, and policy pages. Its apparent business model is direct-to-consumer garment sales through online payment processing. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk The site’s visible content presents a conventional saree retailer and does not show page-level phishing, crypto-investment, wallet, or brand-impersonation indicators. However, this benign storefront presentation is outweighed by **confirmed blacklist status and multiple external malicious detections**, creating a material risk for login, credential submission, checkout, and payment activity. The site is not independently identity-verified, although no conflicting legal-entity names or direct impersonation finding were observed. Abuse reports associated with the observed address are attributed to shared Shopify CDN infrastructure, are whitelisted, and carry zero confidence; that signal is therefore discounted and should not be treated as evidence against this particular merchant. Evidence: - Homepage: Presents Pulimoottil Silks as a saree retailer with product collections, cart, checkout, shipping, and policy navigation. - External reputation telemetry: Records 10 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection for the site, with a Tier-1 security vendor flagged; the site is marked externally blacklisted. - Hosting-address attribution: Records 158 abuse reports for 23.227.38.65, but identifies the address as shared Shopify CDN infrastructure, whitelisted with a confidence score of 0. - Domain registration: Registered 2016-06-18 (~10.18 years old) through Name.com, Inc. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The About and Contact pages support the apparent Pulimoottil Silks retail identity, while registration data associates the domain with Jacob Abraham and Pulimoottil Silks. This supports a plausible commercial identity but does not independently verify the operator or establish that the website is authorized to receive payments. No license or registration number is claimed in the available business information; for an ordinary retail merchant this is a disclosure and verification matter rather than, by itself, evidence of a scam. The available broker-reputation dataset contains no match, but that is only contextual and does not constitute a regulatory determination. Transport security is present, but the certificate provides domain validation rather than independently validated organizational identity. Evidence: - Business and identity pages: Identify the merchant as Pulimoottil Silks; the available registration record names Jacob Abraham and Pulimoottil Silks. - Domain registration record: Registrar is Name.com, Inc.; creation date is 2016-06-18T09:57:33Z and expiration date is 2032-06-18T09:57:33Z. - Web archive: 541 snapshots spanning 2002-11-21 through 2025-12-26, with 24 years tracked. - Site transport: TLS certificate issued by YE1, validation level DV, valid to 2026-11-04. ### What to Verify Next Before any sensitive interaction, an independent offline or separately sourced channel should confirm that the merchant operating the site is the intended business and that the payment recipient matches that business. Applicable retail registration, tax, consumer-protection, shipping, and returns information should be checked against authoritative records and the merchant’s written policies. Until those checks are complete, account creation, credential reuse, card entry, bank transfer, and other financial actions should remain suspended; any unavoidable transaction should use payment protections that support dispute or chargeback remedies. Evidence: - About and Contact pages: Provide the business-identity and contact information to be checked through an independent channel. - Terms, shipping, returns, and checkout pages: Provide the policy and payment details that should be reconciled before an order is placed. - Account interface: Includes a login form, making credential handling a separate verification requirement from ordinary browsing. ### Summary Verdict The overall posture is **critical trust risk**. The site’s retail presentation is not sufficient to offset the confirmed external threat detections and blacklist status, and the real-world operator remains unverified. Sensitive interaction is therefore not appropriate on the available evidence. ### Infrastructure Integrity The website is protected by Cloudflare’s CDN/WAF and the observed address is a CDN edge address rather than an exposed origin. This reduces direct origin exposure and is a mitigating infrastructure characteristic, but it does not establish merchant legitimacy or neutralize the external reputation findings. ### Closing Assessment The proportionate decision is to limit activity to non-interactive viewing while independent merchant, policy, and payment-recipient checks are completed; credentials and financial information should not be submitted in the interim. _Written analysis generated 2026-08-19 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 1 finding contributed to this verdict, raised by analysis engine, behaviour in a sandbox, external reputation. ### 01 Sensitive Interaction Risk - The analysis matched a pattern TrustSniffer treats as a direct threat to a visitor. (Analysis engine `signal:direct_threat`) - The page made background requests to destinations TrustSniffer does not recognise. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_NONWHITELISTED_XHR`) - The structure of the page changed sharply while it was loading. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_DOM_DENSITY_SPIKE`) - The page exchanged network traffic with destinations TrustSniffer does not recognise. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_NONWHITELISTED_TRAFFIC`) - The page sent data to a destination TrustSniffer does not recognise. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_NONWHITELISTED_POSTS`) - An external threat feed lists this domain: either Google Safe Browsing marked it malicious, or a significant number of malware engines flagged it. (External reputation `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_CRITICAL`) ### Signals weighed against the site - AbuseIPDB: 158 reports on hosting IP 23.227.38.65 (Shopify, Inc., Content Delivery Network), 0% confidence. The reports are attributed to shared infrastructure, not specifically to this website. ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNVERIFIED | | Identity score | 30/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 50% | - No on-site identity signals detected _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of pulimoottilonline.com. - The request stayed on pulimoottilonline.com.

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. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [ledgerliverestore.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ledgerliverestore.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [robbyridltrucking.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/robbyridltrucking.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [backup-base.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/backup-base.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [aussiegiftcard.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/aussiegiftcard.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [daniel12v3.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/daniel12v3.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [casascamijanes.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/casascamijanes.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [cortanaassistant.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/cortanaassistant.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [xn--im-1z5cr40w.top risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/xn--im-1z5cr40w.top) (Critical Risk, 5/100) - [refrapi.com.br risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/refrapi.com.br) (Critical Risk, 5/100) - [acctplugs.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/acctplugs.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory) - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains) - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence) - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk) - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats) ## Guides - [The Malware Hidden Inside Minecraft Mods](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/minecraft-mod-malware) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 29, 2026: 9 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-29) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 28, 2026: 24 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-28) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/pulimoottilonline.com) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
