Full analysis
Overview
Richland Screw Machine is a corporate manufacturing website for a Mansfield, Ohio machine shop that presents CNC machining, screw-machine production, quality certification, capabilities, markets served, and quotation-oriented contact information for industrial customers.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content is consistent with a local manufacturing business, and no on-page impersonation, phishing form, login workflow, or malicious browser behavior was observed. However, this benign presentation is outweighed by multiple external malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status, creating a material contradiction between the site’s business presentation and its external reputation. The domain is blacklisted by two external sources; this is the decisive risk indicator, even though no specific brand impersonation or phishing mechanism was identified in the captured pages. The available evidence also does not independently verify that the website is currently operated by the real-world business named on its pages.
- External reputation assessment recorded 5 malicious detections, with the domain marked blacklisted by two sources.
- The homepage presents a corporate/manufacturing profile rather than a phishing or credential-collection experience; no login form, sensitive form, wallet connection, or hidden form was observed.
- Domain registration continuity is dated 2003-07-16, making the domain approximately 23.12 years old; archival records show 90 snapshots spanning 2003–2026 across 24 years tracked.
- Historical analysis found no confirmed suspicious repurposing or semantic category change.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The About Us, Quality, and Contact Us pages provide a coherent apparent business identity for Richland Screw Machine in Mansfield, Ohio, including a physical address, telephone number, manufacturing capabilities, and an ISO certification reference. The identity remains unverified independently, so these on-site statements should be treated as business claims rather than proof of the operator’s legal status. No regulatory license or registration number is claimed in the supplied site content; for a manufacturing supplier this is a disclosure and counterparty-verification matter rather than, by itself, evidence of a scam. The site’s transport security and hosting records are technically established, but a domain-validated certificate confirms control of the domain—not the legal identity of its operator.
- The homepage and Contact Us content identify “Richland Screw Machine,” 531 Grant St, Mansfield, Ohio, and telephone number (419) 524-1272.
- The Quality page states ISO certification reference “ISO C2020-00146” and registration number “c2017-00417 R1.”
- The domain was registered through Wild West Domains, LLC on 2003-07-16 and expires 2027-07-16.
- Hosted on AS32244 (LIQUIDWEB - Liquid Web, L.L.C., US); TLS certificate issued by YR2 at DV validation level, valid to 2026-10-24T03:16:42+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any credential submission, financial commitment, purchase order, or exchange of sensitive commercial information, an institution should independently confirm that the Mansfield business and telephone details correspond to the intended supplier, validate the stated ISO certification with the relevant certification body, and confirm the domain through an independently sourced business record. Any request that departs from the site’s stated quotation-based manufacturing purpose should be treated as requiring additional counterparty review.
- The observed site has no account-login or sensitive-data workflow requiring credentials.
- Browser testing recorded two successful runs with no external form submissions, no external XHR or fetch activity, and no wallet-related behavior.
- The site’s stated commercial interaction is based on manufacturing inquiries and quotations rather than an embedded payment or financial-service workflow.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust with elevated risk for sensitive interaction. The site appears professionally presented and technically functional, but the confirmed external reputation contradiction prevents the available evidence from supporting safe reliance for credentials, financial activity, or other sensitive engagement.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single likely origin hosted by Liquid Web in the United States, without a detected CDN or WAF edge layer. This provides an identifiable hosting path but limited protective separation between the public service and its origin; hosting infrastructure is a mitigating technical observation only and does not establish legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Restrict activity to non-sensitive review until the operator, certification claims, and intended commercial relationship have been independently validated through trusted offline or authoritative channels.

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