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

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.
