The website at risk-scanner.com presents itself under the page title "Web3 AML Checker". The title suggests a tool for screening cryptocurrency addresses or transactions for anti-money-laundering risk. It is a single-page front end that returned a normal response during analysis. The analysis did not independently confirm any named operator, so the apparent purpose is inferred from the title and the way the page presents itself. Its business model is not evident from the material examined. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk This is the decisive area of concern. Several major security vendors currently flag the domain as malicious. The reputation evidence is strong enough that the domain is treated as **confirmed blacklisted** by external threat-intelligence sources. An archive record also associates the domain with known phishing activity. No brand impersonation and no conflicting legal identities were observed on the pages examined, so the risk comes from these external detections rather than from contradictory content on the site. The detections do not specify which behavior triggered them, so the exact nature of the abuse remains unattributed. A site that presents itself as a compliance and security checker is the kind of lure often used to draw crypto users into disclosing wallet addresses or connecting wallets. That pattern is a context-based concern and is not itself confirmed here. In the sandbox the homepage made no external data requests or wallet-connection attempts and showed no clipboard manipulation, hidden forms, cloaking, or credential posting to third parties. This is a mitigating observation, but it does not offset the external detections, because malicious content can be swapped in after a clean capture. Evidence: - Homepage reputation: 17 security engines classified the domain as malicious and 3 as suspicious, including several tier-one vendors, which triggered the maximum-severity reputation cap. - Homepage behavior: Three sandbox runs all succeeded with no external requests, no console errors, no DOM mutation after interaction, and no wallet or clipboard activity. - Domain provenance: The current registration dates from 2026-08-10 (~0.21 years old), while the web archive holds only 2 snapshots spanning 2018–2019 (2 years tracked). That is too thin to establish continuity, and the archive record itself carries a phishing association. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The pages examined disclose no legal entity, licensing status, or registration number. The ownership signals that were collected are incomplete, and operator identity could not be independently connected to any real-world person or company. No third-party broker or regulator record matched this domain, so there is no reputational signal in either direction from that source. Because the site presents itself as an AML or compliance tool, the absence of any disclosed accountable entity is material to how much weight its output could carry. This is a transparency gap, separate from the reputation findings. The domain was registered through NICENIC International Group Co., Limited. The site uses a valid but basic domain-validated certificate. That confirms an encrypted connection and says nothing about who operates the site. Evidence: - Legal and about content: No company name, licence, registrar-of-companies number, or accountable contact entity was identified on the pages examined. - Registration record: Registrar is NICENIC International Group Co., Limited. Registered 2026-08-10, expiring 2027-08-10, with owner details incomplete. - Hosting and transport: Served from AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc., US). The TLS certificate was issued by WE1 (DV) and is valid to 2027-01-06. ### What to Verify Next Any claim that the service performs AML screening should be tested against independent sources. Prospective users should check whether a reputable compliance-analytics provider or regulator-registered firm is named as the operator, and confirm that through an independent, offline route and not through the site. The current listing status of the domain should be re-checked with several independent reputation services before any non-read-only use. Official contact channels should be confirmed independently before any correspondence. No wallet address, transaction hash, or personal data should be submitted while the domain remains flagged. Evidence: - Reputation status: The maximum-severity detection threshold was met at analysis time, so any later clearance should be confirmed independently. - Operator identity: The identity check could not connect the site to a verified brand or person. - Domain age: Registration dates from August 2026 and there is minimal prior archive history, so no track record exists to rely on. ### Summary Verdict The assessment is a clearly elevated-risk posture. External security detections drive it and are treated as decisive. Benign observed page behavior and a valid certificate do not offset them, and the operator's identity is unconfirmed. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site is fronted by Cloudflare's CDN and WAF. All four observed addresses are CDN edge addresses, and the origin server was not observable, so independent verification of the actual hosting is not possible. That edge-only visibility can also mask rapid content swaps. This protective infrastructure is a mitigating factor only and does not counter the external detections. The only heuristic flag is a young domain with sparse subdomains, which is unconfirmed and carries little weight on its own. ### Closing Assessment The site should not be used for login, credential entry, wallet connection, or any financial interaction, and nothing should be downloaded from it. Any visit should be limited to passive viewing in an isolated environment. _Written analysis generated 2026-10-27 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 4 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by governance, external reputation, hosting and network, registration and ownership. ### 01 Governance - A threat feed lists this domain as malicious, and that caps the score whatever the other checks found. (Governance `rule:GOV_CRITICAL_BLACKLIST`) ### 02 External reputation - 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`) ### 03 Hosting and network - The domain is young and has almost nothing else set up around it. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_SPARSE_YOUNG_DOMAIN`) ### 04 Registration and ownership - The public registration record for this domain is incomplete. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_INCOMPLETE`) ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNKNOWN | | Identity score | 50/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 30% | - AI page analysis unavailable (page captured; identity not AI-verified) _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 risk-scanner.com. - The request stayed on risk-scanner.com.

[Review TrustSniffer on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/trustsniffer.com) A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about risk-scanner.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. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [xrpl-invite.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/xrpl-invite.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [solchaindapps.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/solchaindapps.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 4/100) - [io-sign.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/io-sign.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [cashcat-live.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/cashcat-live.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [xyz-welcome-bonus.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/xyz-welcome-bonus.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [mega-collaboration.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/mega-collaboration.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 4/100) - [toasux.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/toasux.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 9/100) - [trojarn.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/trojarn.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [laptoptoken.pro](https://trustsniffer.com/report/laptoptoken.pro), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [claim-npc.live](https://trustsniffer.com/report/claim-npc.live), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory), the full risk directory - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains), same verdict band - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence), run a new assessment - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk), on-chain screening - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats), how this verdict compares ## Guides - [Trading Platform Scam: Checking a Blocked Balance](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/trading-platform-scam-checking-a-blocked-balance) - [Connect a Wallet to a Scam Site: What Happens](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/connect-wallet-to-a-scam-site-what-happens) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Oct 24, 2026: 15 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-10-24) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/risk-scanner.com) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
