Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is blackscreenplays.com legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns blackscreenplays.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for blackscreenplays.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

We withhold an authority number until independent evidence (global rank, link-graph presence) has accrued. The facts we do have about this site are shown below — we'd rather say “not enough signals yet” than invent a low score.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 51 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 51 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.

Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (1 version). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2006
This web site comes about because one day we were looking for some information about writing screenplays about the African-American community. We had an interest in African-American movies, and had thought about one day writing a screenplay. We hit all of the major web search engines with the simple inquire: African-American screenplays. To our surprise nothing returned.
