Direct answer
Official checks come first: compare the host to the official portal directory. "Could not verify" is not "safe." Community reports stay visually separate and never carry an official source badge.
Look only at the host. Ignore the path, language flags, and the padlock. A site can show a lock and still be the wrong host. Paste the link above, or open a hub page and compare character by character. If the host is not listed, stop. Do not pay. Do not upload a passport scan.
A mismatch is "not official." It is not automatically a named fraud verdict. Thailand and Vietnam have checked hosts. Every other place: type it in the iPhone app. A host is listed only after we open the government site.
Community experience - not an official rule
Recurring lookalike-domain patterns, not a named-entity verdict. Dated shapes live on Scam Watch. They expire. They never become a requirement.
