    Does anyone know if this site is legit or not or how I can check if it is??

    I was looking for something and it came up on this site, at a glance though I'm suspicious, it seems too cheap, there is no search box on the site, the home link is broken, you can see the site has been created using a template, when you look at something there is no drop-down to select what colour you want etc etc

    I tried throwing the site into google and weirdly not much comes up about it.

    When I looked at the site , I got a report saying that the site had been reported as a phishing site.
    It looks awful and terrible english.
    It is registered about 1 month.
    I wouldn't touch it!

    Nothing odd there at a start but then you see this:
    Reverse Whois:
    "Robert Decker" owns about76 other domains
    Email Search:
    is associated with about 4 domains
    NS History:
    1 change on 2 unique name servers over 0 year.
    Whois History:
    1 record has been archived since 2012-09-19 .
    Reverse IP:
    65 other sites hosted on this server.
    That's the part where I'd be very concerned...

    Not even a month old that site, has a few other new ones on the go aswell, few comments in the site raters has them as phishing sites so yea, don't enter anything on it, stay away.

    These are what you need to check out a site you're not sure of...

    http://whois.domaintools.com/ (what Nody used above)

    When created and whether it has an actual address are the usual things to check, passes them but as Nody said number of domains is a bit of a red flag. Looking bit further it's actually,
    "ROBERT DECKER" - Reverse Whois Lookup Below is the report for the domain owner "ROBERT DECKER".
    Our records show 182 currently registered domains and 390 previously registered domains with that search string in the WHOIS record.
    :eek:
