Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is peterleeds.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 peterleeds.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for peterleeds.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

The live front page reads as a finance site that sells software or a subscription, mainly for the public as customers.
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 60 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 60 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
No caution flags in the available scoring observations; this is not a complete safety assessment

Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (2 versions). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2006
You remind me of the saying "Give a man a fish; feed him for a day (your weekly stock picks). Teach him how to fish; feed him for life." (your willingness to respond to e-mails and your other teaching methods). Just wanted to say "Thanks!"
2009
As the leading expert on penny stocks, Peter Leeds is frequently contacted by top media organizations like the Associated Press, NBC, CBS, and CNNfn for his comments and views. He helps investors understand and benefit from penny stocks.rewritten
