Very Likely Unsafe

This site seems to offer (information about) services like investing in gold, oil, currencies, and off-shore. We have written an article on how you can separate the legit from possible scammy websites that provide high risk financial services.

This website seems to offer so-called high return/high-risk investment opportunities. There is however no silver bullet. Any investment that promises high revenues also inherently is high risk. Please consider if you can afford to lose the money you plan to invest in a high-risk venture. Check our blog post "High Risk Financial Investment Scams".

This website appears to offer banking, money lending, stock trading, and other similar financial services, and is maintained on a shared server. The risk of having a shared server for such data-sensitive services is that an attacker could use one compromised website on the same server as a portal to all other websites on the same server. We recommend that you reconsider using this website's services since the personal information you enter on it, and by extension, your device, may become subject to a cyber attack.

In our Analysis we always check the Tranco ranking. In this case it was low. A low Tranco ranking means that the website has relatively few visitors. For a new website this is logical. The same is true for a highly specialized website. However if the website claims to be a large corporate or popular site, than warning flags should be raised.

We discovered that the domain of this website has been registered several years ago. Websites of scammers are usually very new. Still, you have to be careful. Scammers nowadays also buy old and existing websites to start their malpractice. Checking a website for other scam signals remains essential. 

iQ Abuse Scan has tagged bitradersinvest.com for phishing. Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate person to lure victims into providing personal data such as login details, ID numbers and credit card details. The 'phished' data is then used to access your user accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss. 

We always check which other websites are registered by the same company the website is using. In this case we discovered that the registrar is facilitating a high number of websites that have a low to very low review score. This may be a coincidence but it may also be caused by lax "Know your customer" processes at the domain registration bureau. The trust score of the website has been reduced.

This webshop is offering payment methods that can be considered reasonably safe such as credit card and Paypal. These companies usually offer the option to get your money back in case the merchant does not deliver or the product has been broken during transportation. However, no payment method gives money back all the time. Make sure you file a complaint in time and be careful with the limitations your credit card or payment methods have set. Our blog post on Safe Payment Methods discusses all payment methods offered.

We found a valid SSL Certificate. An SSL certificate is used to secure communication between your computer and the website. There are different levels of SSL certification. A free one is also available and this one is used by online scammers. Still, not having an SSL certificate is worse than having one, especially if you have to enter your contact details.
