Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
The website is an informational presentation for the Rabindra Puri Foundation for Conservation, describing its mission to conserve Nepal’s tangible and intangible heritage, its community school, heritage-conservation, repatriation and vocational-academy projects, major partnerships, and contact information.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
Confirmed external reputation contradictions create a critical security concern despite the benign appearance of the captured homepage. The site presents itself as a nonprofit foundation and shows no login form, payment mechanism, credential collection, or other page-level phishing behavior; however, 12 external detections classified the domain as malicious, one additional detection classified it as suspicious, and both Fortinet and Sophos flagged it. The domain is also confirmed on external blacklists. No distinct legal-entity conflict or direct brand-impersonation indicator was observed, but the available evidence does not support sensitive interaction with the site.
- External reputation checks recorded 12 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection for the domain; Fortinet and Sophos were among the flagged vendors.
- The domain was confirmed on external blacklists, while Google Safe Browsing reported no malicious result.
- The homepage is identified as an informational/nonprofit page with no login form, sensitive form, hidden form, wallet connection, or external password submission.
- The domain has 28 archive snapshots from 2015-11-23 through 2026-04-18, with coverage across 12 years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The legal and identity position remains unclear for an organisation that identifies itself as the Rabindra Puri Foundation for Conservation. The homepage names Rabindra Puri as its founder and describes the organisation as established in 2009, but the operator’s real-world identity is not independently verified in the available evidence. No licence or registration number is claimed on the captured site; this is a regulatory and disclosure item requiring confirmation, not by itself evidence of a scam. The external broker-reputation dataset contained no matching record, which provides no independent regulatory validation.
- The homepage describes the organisation as a service-based conservation foundation and names Rabindra Puri as its founder.
- The captured content contains project, partnership, and contact sections but no stated licence authority or licence number.
- The site’s transport encryption uses a DV TLS certificate issued by YE1, valid to 2026-10-27.
- The site is technically resolved through APNIC-registered infrastructure in Nepal.
What to Verify Next
Before any account creation, credential submission, donation, or other sensitive activity, an independent confirmation should establish that the website is the foundation’s current official channel. The organisation’s legal registration or applicable nonprofit status should be checked with the relevant Nepalese authority, and the founder, partners, and contact details should be corroborated through independently sourced institutional records rather than links or contact details obtained solely from the site. Any payment request should additionally be validated through a separately confirmed banking or payment channel.
- The homepage provides the foundation’s stated mission, project descriptions, partnership highlights, and contact section for independent comparison.
- No financial solicitation or prominent donation mechanism was visible on the captured page.
- The site’s captured page loaded successfully with HTTP status 200 in both recorded runs and showed no external network requests during the observed interaction.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk. The site’s coherent nonprofit presentation and technically valid transport security are outweighed by confirmed malicious detections and blacklist presence, while the operator identity remains unverified. Sensitive interaction is therefore not supported by the available evidence.
Infrastructure Integrity
Cloudflare CDN and WAF protection provide a mitigating layer against direct exposure of the underlying service, but they do not establish legitimacy or offset the external reputation findings. The observed edge service was AS18222, operated by DATAHUB-AS-AP — Data Hub Pvt. Ltd., NP; no origin candidate was visible in the analysis.
Closing Assessment
Prospective users should restrict activity to passive viewing and defer account, credential, donation, or other financial actions until the organisation and channel have been independently confirmed.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about rpfoundation.com.np 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.
