Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
Retomex is a corporate/informational website presenting itself as a recycling-focused company under the message “Revolutionizing Recycling for Tomorrow.” The homepage provides a general contact form and newsletter signup rather than login, payment, investment, or other direct consumer transaction functionality.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
Confirmed external threat contradictions are present. The domain is reported as blacklisted by two external sources, with sixteen malicious detections and one suspicious detection in the evaluated reputation results; Fortinet, Kaspersky, and Sophos were among the flagged vendors. These findings materially outweigh the benign presentation of the homepage, which contains no obvious phishing form, credential request, financial solicitation, or brand-impersonation indicator. The available evidence does not establish that Retomex is impersonating a specific named brand, but the site’s legitimacy remains unverified and the external detections create a critical risk for sensitive interaction. Abuse reports associated with a shared Amazon delivery-network address are noted separately from the domain-level detections and should not be treated as conclusive attribution to the site.
- Homepage: presents the Retomex recycling proposition and contains no login or payment form.
- External reputation assessment: blacklist status confirmed; 16 malicious and 1 suspicious detections recorded, including flags from Fortinet, Kaspersky, and Sophos.
- Domain registration: created 2016-07-18 and recorded as 10.09 years old; registrar listed as GoDaddy.com, LLC.
- Historical records: 52 archive snapshots spanning 2018–2026, with 8 years tracked and sparse coverage.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage identifies the business as “Retomex” and describes recycling-related activity, but the supplied pages do not present a licensing authority, registration number, or independently verified legal-entity identity. This is a disclosure and verification gap rather than, by itself, proof of fraud. The site is informational and does not make a financial-services or regulated-investment offer on the observed page. No matching broker signal was identified in the available third-party contextual dataset, but that absence is not a legal or regulatory determination.
- Homepage: displays the Retomex name, recycling-focused messaging, copyright notice, contact form, and newsletter signup.
- Homepage: no license authority or license number is disclosed in the captured content.
- Hosting telemetry: served from AS16509, Amazon.com, Inc., US.
- Transport security: TLS certificate issued by GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1, validation level DV, valid to 2027-03-03.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive engagement, an independent corporate registry or equivalent official source should be used to confirm the legal entity behind the Retomex name and its authority to conduct the stated recycling business. Any proposed commercial arrangement should be validated through independently sourced contact details and documented contractual terms, with payment instructions confirmed through an offline or previously trusted channel. The official support and contact channels should also be confirmed independently before exchanging business information.
- Identity verification: the available evidence does not independently connect the website to a verified real-world operator.
- Legal disclosure review: the captured homepage does not provide a registration number or licensing authority.
- Contact workflow: the site uses a single name-and-email contact/newsletter form rather than an authenticated account or transaction workflow.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk, driven by corroborated external threat detections and confirmed blacklist status despite the site’s otherwise simple corporate presentation. The website may be informational in appearance, but its legitimacy and operator identity are not independently verified, so it should not be treated as a trusted channel for sensitive engagement.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is delivered through CDN/WAF infrastructure operated on Amazon’s AS16509 network, with observed edge addresses rather than an independently observable origin server. This provides a mitigating layer against direct origin exposure, but protective hosting infrastructure does not establish site legitimacy and cannot offset the external reputation findings.
Closing Assessment
Prospective users should restrict activity to passive review until the operator and business relationship have been independently validated; credentials, confidential information, and financial commitments should not be submitted through the site.

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