great article.. the most important thing i always do when i feel a website sound suspicious is looking at who is data (http://WHO.IS is a tool ). most of the scam websites register the domain name and will setup a quick site and start scamming .. who is clearly provide the historical updates made..etc .. it doesnt mean every new registration domain name website is a scam one.. but most of the scammers use the newly registered domain name.. just based on my personal experience i am sharing this one.

Usually newer domains are more fishy but they can just sell the older scam domains back and forth, nobody remembers the URL of a bitcoin doubler 1-2 years later so a new scammer can just restart that website later.
Also if they are planning a big scam, a longterm one, then they can start with a lot of capital (form previous heists) and buy a trusted domain like those that sell for 1000-2000$, instantly indexed in Google, bringing a lot of sheep traffic to their scam websites.
if you colllect 100 scam sites and do a bit of research.. you will notice more than 50% of them are on newly registered domain names.. that means its one of the point worth checking , it just helps in addition to the above points you have mentioned in this article.
