What is Rac?

Our system marks Rac.co.uk as suspicious. The decision is based on a cluster of weak trust signals, not one isolated event.

Examples we frequently observe in this group: ownership data that cannot be verified, support pages with no workable contacts, reused template content, and redirects/scripts that do not match the visible site purpose. Each item alone may be explainable. Together, they increase user risk.

Why is rac.co.uk marked "Suspicious Website"?
