perfectmoney.com or perfectmoney.is, which domain name is legit?

[JeromeTash]

I am looking for an option of creating an account with perfect money for some currency exchange stuff I want to do, but I have never used the platform before, so I am not sure which domain is correct (and which one could be malicious)?

A Google search brings up "perfectmoney.is" on top and the followed by "perfectmoney.com"

I have not used perfectmoney but if that's about the ".is" domain, I think it's a domain designated for Iceland. Anyway, I hope this might help you, I've visited both of them through my browser and this what it had shown for both domains. Top picture is with the ".is" and the bottom is with the ".com".

I will always go to the .com domain instead of other domain extension with the same domain name.

Based.on whois^[1] the .com domain seems legit

Code:

Domain:perfectmoney.com
Registrar:Gandi SAS
Registered On:2004-11-28
Expires On:2027-11-28
Updated On:2022-09-20

On the other hand the .is  whois^[2] looks like owned by the same management/person of .com. Since its copyrighted.

Code:

% This is the ISNIC Whois server.
%
% Rights restricted by copyright.
% See https://www.isnic.is/en/about/copyright
domain:       perfectmoney.is
registrant:   SIL11-IS
created:      May 27 2013
expires:      May 27 2023
source:       ISNIC 

Also, the .com is labeled as their website base on their app on google play store^[3]

I would suggest using the .com because if you try to login in both websites, you'll get:



Looks like what happened was they went from .com to .is years ago, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1fnvtt/perfectmoney_changing_from_com_to_is_following/

and later had access to their .com domain again:

I use perfect money before due to Captcha typing jobs and only the perfectmoney option is the easiest one to withdraw earnings from Captcha typing jobs.
I use Perfectmoney.is I never had experience using the .com domain all my earnings from Captcha typing before are in my perfect money and exchange them into BTC.

What I notice just now when trying to log in it redirects me to the .com domain so I guess they also own the .com domain but the problem is I can't log in there is a warning it tells me "Access to Perfect Money accounts from the United States is not allowed.".
Even I am not US residents it always shows and there is no box where you can type username and password.

I don't know about .com, but the domain I have used in the past is .is (found emails from them in 2017).

As like all other say, I have been using the (dot)is domain whenever I needed. I haven't used perfect money on a recent time. So, I'm not really sure about (dot)com domain. In fact, this is the first time I have been watching this domain name. By the way, I can't find the is domain with google search with "perfect money". It's showing the other domain.

A Google search brings up "perfectmoney.is" on top and the followed by "perfectmoney.com"

the search results must have something to do with your location or some previous searches. I just tested it on my computer, and .com came as the top result while .is I didn't find it in the top 5 pages of Google results.

perfectmoney.com is right for sure you can use it safely. nothing strange if a stronger service uses more domains in order to prevent phishing and impersonation. Check Chipmixer and their problem with fake websites impersonating them.

There will be a notification from the real website if there is one website that tries to impersonate them, I believe both sites are owned by Perfectmoney they do this so they can prevent impersonators to deceive their clients usually the mirror sites will redirect to the real sites but they opted not and maybe the other sites are for specific clients
Kaspersky is not blocking either site, visited both sites and Kaspersky treats them as the same.
