The site itself looks like a front. It's the bare minimum of a website, a template and images with non-transparent backgrounds. Compounding with contact information not working, this should ring alarm bells for most.

  please consider not using imgur. it does not return the image even if the url directly points to it and does not work correctly with a lot of browsers. ty

    Good to know, what's a better alternative that doesn't require a login?

      https://postimages.org/ https://postimages.org/ is what I've taken to using, once Imgur became bloated and annoying to upload to. (FWIW, the direct link to Imgur images above do work for me, as in loading only the images. I have JS disabled, but I don't think that makes a difference in this case.)

        The imgur link doesn't work for me and I'm running Firefox with JS disabled. I just get a text saying: If you're seeing this message, that means JavaScript has been disabled on your browser, please enable JS to make Imgur work. EDIT: I've disabled showing the referer in Firefox and the link works fine now. Imgur must be looking at the referer and redirecting when coming in from outside the website.

  What could be the risk visiting the site?

    It's not about risk, it's about it being annoying. When I click a link where the hostname is i.imgur.com and the path ends with jpg/png/gif, I want my browser to load a single image resource and not an HTML page.

>It's the bare minimum of a website, a template and images with non-transparent backgrounds. To be honest, if I were doing a pretty bare bones but legit web app that was of the more informative type and did not have to have much customer engagement, a template or an unoriginal design like that is likely something I would use.

Not saying the site is legit, but there's nothing wrong with using a template with some simple custom images. People on HN are constantly complaining about overengineered websites.
