ScamAdviser's automated algorithm gave xpressinfu.com a low trust score. We welcome the scrutiny. Below we address every point raised, explain why each flag reflects automated misclassification rather than any harmful activity, and provide the proof that this is a legitimate, transparent news publication.
We want to be transparent about this, so let us start by reading ScamAdviser's report honestly. ScamAdviser itself states on its own website that its trust score is generated by a computer program using 40 data points, and that the algorithm is not a human judgment. It also explicitly states that for a smaller or starting website, a low ranking can be considered normal. That is precisely what applies here. XpressInfo was registered on 25 February 2026 and launched days later. We are a new publication. Every publication on the internet was once a new website with a low traffic rank.
The three specific concerns ScamAdviser's algorithm flagged were: the site's young age, a low Tranco traffic rank, and the automated detection of cryptocurrency-related content. None of those three flags indicates dishonesty, a scam, harmful activity or deceptive practice of any kind. All three are characteristics shared by every new news website that covers financial markets, a category that includes Reuters, BBC Business, Al Jazeera Economy and thousands of other legitimate publications when they were new. You can read ScamAdviser's full automated report on xpressinfu.com here and judge its methodology for yourself.
Today's Oil Market: Price Surge Driven by Middle East Tensions| ScamAdviser Flag | What It Actually Means for XpressInfo | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Site is very young (registered Feb 2026) | XpressInfo is a new publication launched in February 2026. ScamAdviser's own guidance states a low ranking is normal for a starting website. Every reputable publication was once new. | Explained |
| Low Tranco traffic rank | Tranco measures web traffic volume. New sites have low traffic by definition. This has no relationship to whether a site is honest or deceptive. | Explained |
| Cryptocurrency services detected | XpressInfo covers cryptocurrency and financial markets as news topics, exactly as Reuters, BBC and Al Jazeera do. Covering a topic in editorial journalism is not the same as operating a crypto exchange or investment scheme. There are no crypto wallets, exchanges or investment offers anywhere on this site. | Explained |
| WHOIS data hidden | WHOIS privacy is a standard feature provided by Hostinger, our domain registrar, and is used by millions of legitimate websites worldwide to protect owner personal data from spam and harassment. It does not indicate anonymity for deceptive purposes. | Explained |
| Valid SSL certificate | ScamAdviser confirmed this as a positive. Our SSL certificate ensures all reader data is encrypted between browser and server. | Confirmed Safe |
| DNSFilter labels site as safe | ScamAdviser confirmed this as a positive. DNSFilter is an independent internet safety service that assessed our domain and rated it safe to use. | Confirmed Safe |
XpressInfo is a free, independent news and information website. It publishes articles covering global news events, financial markets, geopolitics, sports and general information. Every article is written using information gathered from trusted, named, verifiable sources. The site does not sell products. It does not collect payments. It does not solicit donations. It does not offer investment advice. It does not operate a cryptocurrency exchange, wallet, mining service or any other financial product. There is no checkout page, no subscription form, no payment processor and no request for any financial information from any reader at any point.
The site is owned and operated by Robert, who is identified by name on every article published on xpressinfu.com. The publication is hosted by IPFFM Internet Provider Frankfurt GmbH, registered through Hostinger, and uses Let's Encrypt SSL certification. These are standard, widely-used, entirely legitimate infrastructure providers used by hundreds of thousands of websites globally. There is nothing hidden, nothing concealed and nothing that requires any reader to part with money or personal financial details.
The foundation of XpressInfo's credibility is the quality of its sources. We do not fabricate news. We do not publish unverified rumours. Every factual claim in every article is drawn from named, established, internationally recognised organisations. Below are the primary sources we use regularly, all of which are among the most trusted information providers in the world.
Reuters is the primary wire service whose reporting underpins a significant proportion of the factual claims in XpressInfo articles. When XpressInfo reports that Reuters revealed 150 US troops were wounded in the Iran war, the reader can go directly to reuters.com and find the original exclusive report. That is precisely how editorial journalism is meant to work: a publication reads, synthesises and explains trusted primary reporting for its readers. That is all XpressInfo does.
Iran War Update: 150 US Soldiers Wounded in 10 DaysWe hold no animosity toward ScamAdviser. It performs a genuinely useful service in helping internet users identify dangerous websites, fraudulent shops and financial scams. Its tools help protect people from real harm and we respect that mission entirely. However, it is important for readers to understand that ScamAdviser's trust score for new websites is generated entirely by an automated algorithm, not by a human reviewer who has read the site's content, checked its articles or verified its sources. The algorithm cannot distinguish between a news website that covers cryptocurrency markets as a journalism topic and a website that operates a cryptocurrency scam. That is a known limitation of automated systems, and ScamAdviser's own FAQ acknowledges it.
The practical solution ScamAdviser itself recommends for website owners is to claim the site listing and submit it for manual verification. We are doing exactly that. In the meantime, we invite every reader who has a question about our credibility to do what ScamAdviser itself recommends: check the site out for themselves. Read our articles. Check the sources we cite. Visit the original Reuters, Al Jazeera and BBC reports we reference. That independent verification is the gold standard of journalistic credibility, and we are confident XpressInfo will pass it.
We have submitted xpressinfu.com to ScamAdviser's manual verification process, which allows a human reviewer rather than an automated algorithm to assess the site's content, sources and nature directly. As our readership grows and our Tranco traffic rank rises, the automated score will naturally improve as the algorithm receives more positive signals over time. We also welcome any reader who has a question about our credibility to contact us directly through the site.
Transparency is not just a policy for us. It is the foundation of everything we publish. Every article names its sources. Every claim is attributable. Every reader is free to check every fact we report against the primary sources we cite. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is the standard by which we ask to be judged, not by an automated algorithm that cannot read our articles or understand that covering financial news is not the same as running a financial scam.
We thank every reader who took the time to investigate us before deciding whether to trust us. That careful, sceptical approach to online information is exactly the habit that protects people from genuine scams. We hope this article has given you what you need to make an informed decision about XpressInfo. We are confident the evidence speaks for itself.
