Summary

TrustSniffer assessed scanbot.me on 2026-09-13 and gave it a trust score of 0/100, a critical-risk result: the evidence collected matched patterns associated with scams or fraud, and interacting with this site carries a high risk. The trust score runs from 0 to 100, where 100 is the most trusted; it is an automated, evidence-based assessment and not a legal finding.

Key findings

  • Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk.
  • Domain age: 1 to 3 years (registration continuity).
  • Public web-archive history exists since 2024.
  • At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time.

What TrustSniffer found on scanbot.me

Security Alert: Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution. These signals outweigh the absence of phishing forms, credential fields, wallet-connect behavior, or brand-impersonation indicators on the captured page. No conflicting legal-entity names or direct brand impersonation were observed, but the confirmed malicious detections and blacklist status are sufficient to require a strongly cautionary posture. - The domain was confirmed on external blacklist records; the Google Safe Browsing result was not malicious.

Regulatory Verification Notes: No legal, identity, licensing, terms, or corporate-information page was available because the accessible site consisted only of the server-error response. No license claim or registration number was presented for evaluation, so regulatory status cannot be confirmed from the site. The real-world operator remains unverified, and the available registration record shows ownership opacity as an administrative identity limitation rather than proof of misconduct.

A broker-reputation dataset returned no match, but that contextual result does not offset the confirmed external threat detections. Evidence: - The accessible homepage contained no company name, legal entity, registered address, license authority, license number, or regulatory disclosure. What to Verify Next: Before any sensitive interaction, an independent registry search should confirm whether a real operator, regulated entity, or licensed service is associated with the domain.

Why this matters

A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about scanbot.me 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.
