Nowhere can I find a phone number, registration number, or address.

The site is used to serve images in a loan scam one of my characters is baiting.

Clearly hosted on an ad-funded server.

Whois shows the registrant as "Zak" and under address:

Quote:

The registrant is a non-trading individual who has opted to have their address omitted from the WHOIS service.

Is this truly a bad site, or is it a legit site badly hosted? I lean towards the former, but...

Smells bad but I'm not sure this is an AFF site. It looks like its some sort of aggregation service collecting potential customers and channelling towards "partners"

Quote:

Information that must be on your website: an aide memoire
The following is the minimum information that must be on any company's website (from OUT-LAW's guide, The UK's E-commerce Regulations).
The name, geographic address and email address of the service provider. The name of the organisation with which the customer is contracting must be given. This might differ from the trading name. Any such difference should be explained – e.g. "XYZ.com is the trading name of XYZ Enterprises Limited."
It is not sufficient to include a 'contact us' form without also providing an email address and geographic address somewhere easily accessible on the site. A PO Box is unlikely to suffice as a geographic address; but a registered office address would. If the business is a company, the registered office address must be included.
If a company, the company's registration number should be given and, under the Companies Act, the place of registration should be stated (e.g. "XYZ Enterprises Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1234567")
If the business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details, including any registration number, should be provided.
If the business has a VAT number, it should be stated – even if the website is not being used for e-commerce transactions.

I would suggest this website falls foul of many of the legal requirements shown above.

^Agree. Contact emails bad.

Site contact form is not working and the Data Protection link is broken.

No phone, no address and no way to contact. I don't see any AFF though.

Found this interesting in the comment section at link http://www.candofinance.com/.

The only thing going for it is an old domain registration - 2001. But it may be worthwhile looking for it's spawn.( http://financehouseholding.com/? - same text, no time to dig in)

But any "spawn" are likely to be of a similar type and therefore not AFF. Setting to n/a unless someone can convince me to the contrary.
