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 - [mytotalika.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/mytotalika.org) (High Trust, 80/100) - [africascoutfoundation.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/africascoutfoundation.org) (High Trust, 100/100) - [aiyori.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/aiyori.org) (High Trust, 80/100) - [afraca.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/afraca.org) (High Trust, 90/100) - [pinglady.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/pinglady.org) (High Trust, 100/100) - [annistonic.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/annistonic.org) (High Trust, 91/100) - [cemad.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/cemad.org) (High Trust, 90/100) - [bethchatto.co.uk risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/bethchatto.co.uk) (High Trust, 100/100) - [applicationform.co.za risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/applicationform.co.za) (High Trust, 95/100) - [cosmekitchen-webstore.jp risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/cosmekitchen-webstore.jp) (High Trust, 100/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory) - [Other domains assessed as legitimate](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/verified-legit) - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence) - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk) - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats) ## Guides - [Script Droppers: How This Download Scam Works](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/script-droppers-how-this-download-scam-works) - [Stablecoin Freezes Sept 23, 2026: 11 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-23) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 22, 2026: 60 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-22) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/wikipedia.org) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
