Frequently Asked Questions

Are all .us websites scams?

No. The .us extension shows moderately elevated abuse rates in published security data. Many legitimate sites use .us. This page lists only the specific .us domains flagged by threat-intelligence feeds — not the extension as a whole.

Why do scammers use .us domains?

Scammers favour cheap, fast-to-register extensions with slower abuse enforcement, because they expect the domain to be taken down within days. Registration cost and enforcement speed — not the extension's purpose — drive the choice.

How do I check if a specific .us site is safe?

Look it up here or on Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal, and check its registration date with a WHOIS lookup. Very new domains imitating an established brand are a strong warning sign.
