I would say it's due to the way this forum handles security, not necessarily a phishing attempt. Then again I'm using different security software than you.

If you open a browser and enter "savingtosuitorsclub.net" you will get the non-secure version (http) of the site and see the "Not secure" notice leftside of the location box:



This indicates the site is either not using a security certificate, or using a self-signed certificate. A website doesn't always need a secure connection. For example if it's just presenting data: http://legacy.weeklyreader.com But if logging users in, entering passwords, making transactions, etc. then security (a private connection) is necessary.

If you manually enter "https://" as a prefix to "savingtosuitorsclub.net" to enforce a secure connection if available, you will see the "Not secure" change to the locked padlock icon indicating a secure connection!



So it appears the site does own a valid security certificate signed by a certificate authority, it's just not enforcing its use.

TL;DR, website has a valid SSL certificate it's just mis-configured and not always using it.
