Domain Due Diligence
Report for Cointech.top
Why we think so
Quick verdict: ⚠️ cointech.top looks suspicious. The site shows essentially no measurable traffic, contact links scraped from the site point to unrelated or low-quality accounts (e.g., laundry equipment, unrelated GitHub handle), and WHOIS data is privacy-protected with a China-based registrar and an IP in China. There are no authoritative scam blacklists or Google Safe Browsing flags, but the mix of mismatched public profiles, missing contact information, and absent third-party reputation evidence justify caution. If you plan to interact financially, treat the site as high-risk until you can verify ownership and real business operations.
Risk Insights

No detectable traffic or reputation
Contradictory Signals
Technical safety scans are clean, but absence of blacklist entries does not override strong trust/identity concerns from inconsistent contacts and zero traffic.
Signal A: No blacklist/GSB flags
Signal B: Multiple reputation and contact red flags

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis
WHOIS & registrant clarity
WHOIS & registrant clarity
"The domain was created in 2016 and uses Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) as registrar, but registrant fields are privacy-protected which prevents independent verification of the operator."
Reason: Registrant data is redacted and ownership is not verifiable from public WHOIS records.
Traffic & engagement (SimilarWeb / traffic stats)
Traffic & engagement (SimilarWeb / traffic stats)
"No measurable visits in the last sampled months and website traffic stats API returned 'data not available', indicating either very low usage or measurement issues."
Reason: SimilarWeb shows zero visits and traffic services returned no usable data.
Contact info and social profiles
Contact info and social profiles
"Scraper found links to unrelated Facebook and GitHub accounts and a CoinFlip Twitter handle; no clear company email or validated phone number was found on the site."
Reason: Publicly scraped contacts are inconsistent or unrelated to a coherent business identity.
Blacklist & malware checks
Blacklist & malware checks
"While no active blacklists or Safe Browsing blocks were detected, these checks do not guarantee legitimacy—just absence of currently flagged malware/phishing."
Reason: No matches on the checked crypto blacklist and Google Safe Browsing returned no threats.
Trademark / brand impersonation risk
Trademark / brand impersonation risk
"Searches returned unrelated 'Coin Tech' businesses and a news article warning about a differently named 'Emirate Coin Tech' scam, which heightens the risk of brand confusion."
Reason: No USPTO trademark matches for the exact domain; news results show similarly named entities, increasing impersonation risk.
Technical: DNS / Hosting
Technical: DNS / Hosting
"A-record points to 47.101.68.213 and NS records are dns9.hichina.com / dns10.hichina.com; TLS/SSL records were not present in the evidence set."
Reason: DNS resolves to an IP in China and name servers are HiChina; configuration is typical but offers limited traceability.
