Domain Due Diligence

Report for Raise-365.com

Report Date
October 9, 2025
Recommendation
Caution
Overall Summary
Suspicious
  Why we think so? 

Mixed signals for raise-365.com: the site shows substantial traffic (~633k monthly) and a professional tech stack (CloudFront, Cloudflare, Stripe/SendGrid integrations), and it uses a long‑standing domain registered March 11, 2021. At the same time, multiple user reviews and third‑party scam-checkers raise concerns, and a federal dispute involving the company is on record. No Safe Browsing or crypto blacklist hits were found, but lack of full transparency (WHOIS privacy, non‑refund Terms) and several complaint-like reviews mean you should verify organizers and payment flows before contributing. 🛡️

Risk Insights

🛠️

Mixed reputation vs. solid tech

  • High traffic and cloud hosting suggest an active, professionally built platform.
  • User complaints and a federal dispute create meaningful reputational risk.
  • Verify organizers and payment terms before donating.

Contradictory Signals

Professional infrastructure usually signals legitimacy, but legal action and repeated user allegations point to operational or business-practice problems rather than basic phishing.

Signal A: High technical maturity and large traffic

Signal B: Multiple user complaints and a documented federal dispute

Category Scores

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Multiple user reviews and scam-checker warnings describing high fees, pushy behavior, or 'scam' accusations on App Store/Chrome/BBB listings.
  • Company involved in at least one federal legal dispute, indicating nontrivial business/legal risk.
  • Terms of Service state payments are non‑refundable, which increases risk for donors if disputes arise.
  • WHOIS contact details are privacy redacted, limiting direct owner verification.
  • Conflicting automated trust scores (some low, some high) — inconsistency makes the true risk unclear.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Identity – domain registration & WHOIS

Score: 55/100
Failed

"Registered with Squarespace Domains II LLC; registrant fields are redacted for privacy and nameservers run through Cloudflare, so direct owner verification requires contacting the registrar or site support."

Reason: Domain is several years old (registered March 11, 2021) and uses a known registrar, but WHOIS is privacy redacted which reduces owner traceability.

Reputation – user reviews & third‑party ratings

Score: 40/100
Failed

"App Store and Chrome reviews include direct accusations of 'scam' and complaints about fees; Scam Detector assigns a low trust score (≈48/100) while Scamadviser/Gridinsoft show higher automated scores — the split increases uncertainty."

Reason: Reputation is mixed: some algorithmic services give positive scores while user reviews and Scam Detector flag the site with low trust and complaint‑style reports.

Technical – hosting, SSL, performance

Score: 80/100
Passed

"SimilarTech and SimilarWeb list CDN, hosting, Google Analytics, and SendGrid; these reduce the likelihood of an amateur phishing page but do not guarantee business legitimacy."

Reason: The site runs on well-known infrastructure (AWS, CloudFront, Cloudflare) with a valid SSL certificate and analytics/marketing integrations, consistent with a professionally built platform.

Content – transparency, terms, contact info

Score: 50/100
Failed

"Support email, phone and social links exist which is positive, but missing or nonpublic charity registration numbers and a nonrefundable policy raise concerns for donors."

Reason: Site includes contact info and Terms of Service, but the Terms state payments are non‑refundable and site content lacks independent verification of charity/organizer credentials.

Legal – lawsuits, disputes, regulatory flags

Score: 45/100
Failed

"WeFund4U, LLC moved for contempt in a federal case referencing Raise 365; details of outcome are not in the reviewed dataset and should be investigated by requesting court records."

Reason: At least one federal legal dispute involving Raise 365 appears in public records, which is a material negative for trust until resolved or explained.

Business validity – business model and refund policies

Score: 50/100
Failed

"Terms state nonrefundable payments; user reports cite high fees and pushy behavior — verify fee structure and get written receipts before transferring funds."

Reason: The business shows legitimate operational signals but its refund and fee practices have drawn complaints and are not independently verified as fair.

Your Next Steps

  • 1

    Do not send money or donate until you verify the organizer: ask for government ID, charity registration number, or contract details and confirm independently.

  • 2

    Call the site phone number (888-621-5380) and send email to support@raise-365.com; request written receipts and refund policy that contradicts the site’s posted non‑refund terms.

  • 3

    Search for the organizer or fundraiser name on the BBB, state charity registries, and recent court records to confirm legitimacy.

  • 4

    If charged unexpectedly, contact your card issuer immediately to dispute unauthorized transactions and request a chargeback if warranted.

  • 5

    Keep screenshots of pages, receipts and all communication; if you suspect fraud, file reports with local consumer protection (state Attorney General) and the FTC.
